What it does: Abrasive, Absorbent, Cosmetic Colorant
Community Rating: Liked

Kaolin is a clay. It is used for oil control and to help minimize pores. Like other clays, kaolin has the ability to absorb excess sebum or oil. This can help clean out pores and mattify the skin.

Some types of kaolin may have exfoliating properties. When water is added to kaolin, it becomes a paste with small abrasive particles.

Most kaolin is a white color, but may be pink/orange/red depending on where it comes from.

The name 'kaolin' comes from a Chinese village named 'Gaoling'. Kaolin clay comes from rocks rich in kaolinite. Kaolinite, the mineral, has a silicate layered structure. Kaolinite is formed from chemical weathering of aluminum siilicate minerals.

Besides skincare, kaolin is commonly used to make glossy paper, in ceramics, toothpaste, and as medicine to soothe stomach issues.

Like other types of silica, this ingredient can be used to thicken a product. As an absorbent, it may be used to absorb extra water or help prevent clumping.

Not impressed.. yet.
I’m not impressed. I’ve used it three times, the latter two during a significant breakout, and it didn’t move the needle at all. The thing that saved my face the most was the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and Paula’s Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Immediately after using those two products I saw a difference overnight. This mask, didn’t impact my skin in any way.

I’ll continue to use it, until its empty - but as of today, I won’t be repurchasing.
