What 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.

    "It's a fabulous clay mask because unlike traditional clay masks, you completely dry of course it will dry out, but it doesn't like dry out, so it doesn't pull and tug on your skin. Number two, it has these moon bean granules for just physical exfoliation, leaves your skin smooth, leaves it oil free, absolutely matte. I've been using this since last year, and if you have active acne or you are acne prone or if you're oily acne prone, this has to be something you're using."

    "It will very gently just lift those sebaceous filaments and take away some of those blackheads. Use it once or twice a week for the best results. It comes with a little spatula, and a little will go a long way. You can use it all over the face as a face pack or mud mask, or you can use it on the areas where you have congestion, which for me is on my nose and chin [...] in a more targeted way. Either way, you get an absolute ton of product and it will last forever."

    "This one smells totally different from what I expected, kind of like an old cucumber, and I just don't like the scent, [...] a lot of other people mention that too. It clumps up so you have to add it little by little, and it's thicker so [...] it's better to spread with your fingers instead of a spatula."

    "The red bean mask is too thick to apply on its own and it hardens too much on your face, but it's easier to apply once you mix it with the rice mask. On its own the red bean works well but it doesn't smell good."

    "This clay mask has kaolin clay, but it also has adzuki bean powder, hence the red bean part of the name, which helps to gently exfoliate. It's got these little particles in it, so this is a good product to use if you have oily skin with rough texture and you're looking for a little bit of mechanical exfoliation, but not a product where you're going to basically be sanding away at your skin. This is a great option."

    "I like using it just to particularly shiny areas like my forehead and nose, your T-zone. If you have seborrheic dermatitis, that's an oily skin condition where the sebum cools on the skin within the pore and then the malassezia yeast go wild and you get inflammation and patches of irritated skin. A clay mask can help in getting ahead of that oiliness that fuels the fires of a sebderm flare, so this would be a great product to entertain using."
