Great Item!!!!!!!

I'm pretty new to face masks - I'm just starting my routine and it usually involves a sheet mask that probably does more through the placebo effect than anything else. I wanted to give a real product a try so I did some research and read a lot of reviews and I ended up ordering this. I noticed a difference immediately after the first use, and my skin feels amazing every time I use it. (EDIT: added pics. I've been using this mask about once a week for a few months and these are immediate before/after for my last use. You can notice a smoother texture/complexion as well as cleaner pores. This was after an exfoliating face wash.)Rating:I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars mostly because the size of the product is so small. Being new to this stuff, I'm not sure if this kind of size is standard as I could not find a larger version. The rating is also 4/5 because after the first 2 or so uses I haven't seen any other skin improvements. Immediately after every use I can see a change, but no long-term improvements use after use. In other words, I do really like this product and I will probably buy it again, but it was not amazing.Feel:This face mask doesn't really exfoliate at all. It's supposed to exfoliate as you wash it off but the bits of rock are so few that it doesn't do much. I use an exfoliating face wash instead and then put this on afterward. I have fairly sensitive and very dry skin, so the mask does tingle a bit but it never gets uncomfortable. Once I wash it off my face does feel fantastic - hydrated, plump, and extremely smooth and clean. I do put some light moisturizer on after as my skin is so dry.Results:The first 2 times I used it I noticed an immediate difference that stayed through the next day. Since then it's stayed about the same - it has shrinked and lessened my visible pores as well as clearing out the big ones on my nose. It has also made my skin tone and texture more even throughout, smoothing the overall appearance. However, even with repeated use (about once a week) it has not cleared out those large pores as much as I would've hoped. Considering how much it did the first couple times I expected it to clear them out much more after a few more uses.My boyfriend tried this mask with me once and he was super into it. He almost never washes his face unless I remind him, and after using this he couldn't stop touching his face for hours. He was amazed at how clear and smooth it was. He's Asian American and has what he calls "Asian grease" - basically he has fairly oily skin. Neither of us have had an negative effects from this product.

It’s good and works for me

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!

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 RemovalCons:Container could be smallerBetter InstructionsNot as Cost EfficientWhen 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 Ounceand 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.
