Exfoliate and Refine

I absolutely love this mask. It's far more effective than the ilmakiage scrub. This mask cleans and shrinks my pores plus smooths the texture of my skin. Bonus is that it's quite affordable!

I recommend this product and all the Loreal clay masks and scrubs. It doesn't dry my face out, it doesn't make me break out, and it doesn't give me chemical burns (which I can easily get because of overly sensitive skin). When I use these masks, my face feels very clean and soft afterward. Now, I do recommend that if you are thinking about buying one of these, just buy any clay mask and one scrub. You don't need to buy all of them. I know they all claim to help in different ways, but they all have similar results. Well-worth results, but similar. I would buy the one whose result claim is closer to what you're looking for. I also enjoyed that you don't have to keep the clay masks for son long, just 10 to 15 minutes. The masks will last you quite some time and value to it price. The product itself is creamy to put on. It dries up after 10 minutes and you rinse it off. Your face looks smoother, pores less visible, cleaner, less red, and even acne looks better. I recommend giving it a try.

There are three options for these masks: Detox, Purify, and Exfoliate. I chose to start with the Detox because I am having some new found facial issues with my newly aging skin. I'm having breakouts in the center of my forehead and along my jawline and chin. I don't consider myself to have sensitive skin, but combination (dry/oily). These masks are made to mix and match, depending on what you are trying to accomplish with your face. I used Detox all over my face for my first time. It is recommended that you start with a clean face, leave it on for 10-15 minutes and use it three times per week. It is thick and creamy and goes on very smooth. I did find it difficult to take the inner cover off. There's a small tab that you pull. As I was putting it on, my 4-year-old watched intently and once I was done, he said my beautiful face was gone. How cute is that?! Anyhoo... Because of the color (this variety has charcoal in it), I was concerned it would transfer to my towels. But it rinsed from my hands quite easily and cleanly. Once on my face, it did feel like it warmed up a bit. But that might be due to the breakout areas of my face. It did not sting or burn in any way. It stiffens as it dries. Once dried, I was able to notice how large my pores are (ewwww). I rinsed with warm water using my hand until it was all gone from my face and patted dry. There was no noticeable redness afterwards. My face did feel a bit fresher than it did before the mask and not dried out at all. I did wash my face and use a toner wipe before the mask. It does seem promising after the first day. I will likely use Detox only for this first week and then experiment with mixing in the others. Especially the exfoliating one as it is supposed to help refine pores. This product was received free from L'Oreal in exchange for my honest review/opinion after its use.

I swear by this mask and actually bought it as a gift as well. Having sensitive skin causes me to be selective with skin care, this product NEVER disappoints. The clay feels cool and refreshing when applied, it hardens up a bit then becomes an exfoliating agent as you rinse it off. The easiest way to apply is having a silicone spatula designated for mask application, it goes on smooth as butter and a little goes a long way. The mask shouldn’t be rinsed off while in the bath, there will be leftover residue on the tub and near the drain. By far my FAVORITE exfoliating product, can’t recommend this enough!

Regular use of this mask has cleared up my skin and made it much softer and smoother. It goes on easily and also rinses off easily. My skin glows more from using this mask.

I tried the green clay mask a few months ago and really liked it. Eventually I want to try all three, so I started with the red mask this week. The red mask has a better texture than the green mask and spreads easier than the green. Also, when it dries it's not quite as tacky as the green mask. It also has a slightly better smell than the green and it's easier to wash off. When I washed it off my skin immediately felt like it went through a big shock: almost irritated. I was worried I would break out or be redder than a lobster the next day. The initial feeling wore off after a few minutes and then my face felt almost naked. Really fresh like all the crud had been scrubbed off. The next morning my skin felt super soft and there was no sign of irritation. This works for my skin as a gentler version of an exfoliation. I haven't had the best luck with exfoliating masks with my sensitive and acne prone skin, but this one delivers. The only drawback I can report is that it leaves sand grains on my face which requires some more thorough rinsing, but it's not too hard to deal with. Next I'm going to try the black mask. I LOVE charcoal skin products so I'm hoping to go 3 for 3 with these masks. So far, the green and the red masks are 100%.

Esta mascarilla de arcilla es muy buena, la recomiendo muchísimo… se puede aplicar de 1 a 2 veces a la semana para mejor resultado aplicar después una crema hidratante. Se puede dejar por 30 minutos en el rostro, para retirar con agua Tita movimiento circulares.

I originally received this Clay Mask from L'Oreal for free as part of their campaign to bring word of mouth awareness to the product. But after using it for a month, I ended up purchasing another set after going through half the bottle. Since I received and also purchased three different types of Clay Mask which had different purposes, my review will be in three part. Bear in mind that I would probably rate my skin as about normal with a slight tendency to oily on occasion. Pros: Quick & Easy Application and Removal Cons: Container could be smaller Better Instructions Not as Cost Efficient When I received the package of three different types of clay mask, I didn't know which one to use first. I did a quick online research and couldn't find any recommendation. So I decided to go in the order of how the package arrived placed in the box. So L'Oreal Paris Skin Care Pure Clay Mask Purify and Mattify, 1.7 Ounce , than L'Oreal Paris Skin Care Pure Clay Mask Detox and Brighten, 1.7 Ounce and lastly Red Algae. First off, the masks I typically use are the type that comes shaped in a paper mask where you apply it on the face. After applying for 10-15 minute, you remove the paper mask and throw it out. This is my first try at a clay mask so wasn't sure what to expect. So third review is regarding the Red Algae Clay mask. The function of the red algae clay mask is to exfoliates and unclog and tighten your pores. The color of this mask was red and sandy. Applying the red algae clay to the face was slightly different than the other two mask. The other two masks was easy to apply an even layer. But with the red algae there was a sandy texture and hence harder to have an even layer. I also had to apply more liberally with the red algae to get a full facial coverage. After application, you need to leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. I tend to go the max at 15 minutes but if your skin is sensitive I would probably just max out at 10 minutes in the beginning. With this red algae clay I never felt my skin tighten at all which made removal of the mask even easier. But the sandy residue really felt odd for me. After using this red algae mask, I didn't see anything change on my face immediately or after a day / two. I still ended up purchasing another bottle of this to see if I would see any change after prolong use. Because of the sandy texture and requiring more liberal application, I would rate the usage to about 10 full facial application at max.
