What the gurus are saying

This stick glides smoothly without hands or brush, delivering deeper cleansing than a regular cleanser while staying gentler than typical for clay masks, though it won't shrink pores despite the claim. It's best for weekly maintenance on oily or combination skin; those with dry skin should limit use to the T-zone and keep application to just a few minutes to avoid tightness.

"Great. This one wins on convenience, no mess, no brush, no effort. It doesn't shrink pores, but compared to just a cleanser it's definitely deeper cleansing, huge points for being easy. On dry skin, using it on the full face is too tight, stick to the T-zone only. The brand says up to 10 to 15 minutes, but I'd say don't go past five. It's best for oily combo skin, once a week, not treatment skincare, just maintenance."

"This is a thick clay mask from Skin1004 that claims to shrink pores, which is not really something a skincare product can do. I avoided it at first just because of the name, but out of the three pore masks it turned out to be the mildest. It is thick, but it goes on smoothly and is super easy to apply, you do not even need your hands or a brush. That said, my skin still felt dry after washing it off, and honestly I am not sure just rubbing this on the surface does much for blackheads. I would rather recommend using a cleansing oil properly instead, it is less aggressive and works a lot better."

"One great option is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Pore Minimizing Quick Clay Stick Mask. This one uses pink clay as well as kaolin clays that help to absorb that excess oil from the surface of the skin and from within the pore. And this formula also contains centella to help soothe the skin. It's not overly drying, and the convenient stick applicator makes it really easy to just apply to problematic areas like your T-zone where you tend to have a lot of shine. Apply it to a clean, dry face. Leave it on for 5 minutes or so and then rinse it off. You don't necessarily need to use it every day, although you can if you find that every day you have a lot of shine. It's great to use in the morning before starting your skincare routine."

"It's been a long time since I've been excited about a new clay or pore mask. I was immediately attracted to this from Skin1004, their Madagascar Centella Pore Minimizing Quick Clay Stick Mask, because of the user experience, which I find to be quite exceptional. This applies so beautifully, so elegantly. I just don't see the point of ever using my fingers to spread a clay mask ever again. It's got the smoothest, silkiest glide on the skin, but also it's creamy enough to just be a completely effortless application. There's no pulling or dragging on your skin as you use this, and it dispenses just the right amount, a nice thin layer that covers everything, gets in the pores, everything. It's gentle enough where if you do tend to have oilier and more congested skin, you could use this all over. It dries down fast and beautifully, and this washes off so easily. Usually with clay masks I always have to use a facial sponge just to get rid of those super sticky clumps that won't come off, but this rinses off effortlessly with water. And then also you can already feel how smooth your skin feels. This decongests in really such a gentle way."

"I never bought this because with dry skin I don't really need clay masks, but I tried it out and was shocked at how well executed this product is. This is probably the best execution I've ever seen of a clay mask in a stick, it glides so nicely across your skin, actually applying instead of just staying in the container the way older versions did. You get a very gentle exfoliation from the seed powder, not too drying, so even normal to a bit dry skin like mine could like it. It's nice not to get your hands and fingernails into it while applying, and it removes easily. It's well done."
Yay
"The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Pore Minimizing Quick Clay Stick Mask is essentially a quick clay mask stick as the name suggests, making it quick and easy and mess-free to mask. So of course in here we have kaolin clay which is going to help absorb excess oils leading to the appearance of smaller looking pores without over drying. Centella asiatica to help calm irritation, soothe and heal the skin. We have green tea extract in here which is rich in antioxidants. This is really great for those who are looking to reduce shine, minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, control that excess sebum. I don't clay mask a lot, I'll be honest with you, but when I do, just the T-Zone, I want to minimize those pores, get rid of excess sebum. It's usually again pre-event, pre family occasions, that kind of thing."
