"My alternative would be Glow Recipe's watermelon clay mask, because if you are looking for a clay mask to clear all the gunk out of your pores, this has BHA and PHA in alongside hyaluronic acid infused clay, so not only do you get instant satisfaction of clearer, smaller looking pores, but the more you use this as your exfoliating step the clearer your pores are actually going to be."

The Best And Worst Products From GLOW RECIPE- My Honest Thoughts 1 Year Later 💜 James Welsh

"I really enjoy this face mask when I used it. Exfoliants often make my skin react and this one didn't. I hate clay masks because of how they dry down. It reminds me of my teenage acne days and this one didn't. It's kind of like the Caudalie one where if you leave it on for the recommended amount of time, it doesn't dry down your skin and completely void your skin of all oils and any hydration that it once had. So a really nice way to get some AHA onto your skin if you're looking to even out your skin tone without drying down your skin. It's a little disappointing to see that the BHA is what it is. I wish it just had Salicylic Acid in or even Betaine Salicylate. Really, really nice. Are you missing out on anything if you don't get it? No. But if you do prefer exfoliants at a different stage in your skincare routine other than toners, it's a nice one to go for."

"This is the glow recipe watermelon hyaluronic clay pore tight facial. This is actually a clay mask that is really great. I wouldn't recommend this mask for oily skin that is hydrated deep down. I would recommend this for oily hydrated greasy skin through and through. It has clays in it that are really good at wicking away hydration. The AHAs in here and the watermelon have antioxidants and exfoliation benefits. You would only want to use this a couple times a week, but overall this is a fantastic choice that plays really well with a cleanser."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
