How we score →Mixed
4 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
A clay mask that dries without the tight, tugging feeling, thanks to little bean granules that buff away rough texture and leave oily skin smooth and matte. Reviewers say it gently lifts blackheads and works well on a shiny T-zone, once or twice a week. The catch is a thick, clumpy formula that hardens as it sits and a scent some compare to old cucumber, so fingers spread it better than the spatula.
