I've been trialing these products for a week now and have used the cleanser daily and the mask 3 times. I've got oily, clogged skin with a lot of blackheads so this regime was ideal for my skin type. Both products have matching attractive pale green packaging and are gentle on the skin, the regime didn't cause me any breakouts. The regime has a really strong eucalyptus scent so steer clear if fragrance puts you off. Since using these products in conjunction my skin has been noticeably smoother and softer. I've also found my skin feeling hydrated without it's usual oil slick! My pores have been less clogged and my blackheads reduced. This has also given me much better make-up days as my make up application is so much better going over clearer and less oily skin. I'll happily continue using this regime as it's made my skin feel and look so much healthier, I've even been able to ditch the concealer most days. I'd happily purchase this myself too as it is a bargain for the results it achieves.

Reviews
I've used the products separately and not as a regime per se but I can see how they work together. I found the cleanser to be effective with a mattifying effect and the clay mask great for a deep cleanse to draw out oils.
I find the scent pleasant and the textures thick/luxurious.
I've been using both of these products for a few weeks now and really love. I am 43 years old with an oily but clear skin type and found my skin looking so much more clearer and drier. My pores are definitely looking smaller due to looking cleaner and overall clarity is amazing. I love the smell and really look forward to using the cleanser in the morning because of the fresh 'waken me up' scent of eucalyptus! The mask, i have been really trying to remember use and probably 1 - 2 times per week. The morning after, i have been finding my skin so much more drier (not oily) which I am definitely loving.
Tips: Someone with a drier or combo skin type might find this too drying.
To begin with my face is fairly average so to speak! Gets quite oily and times especially around the t-zone and I normally exfoliate or cleanse. I also have some minor scarring on my chin from numerous skin issues.
I use the wash at night time before bed. The packaging is nice. Comes in a little squeezy bottle which is the perfect size.
Both the wash and mask are green in colour which is a bit shocking but looks and smells very refreshing. Feels lovely, smooth and creamy on the skin and very moisturising which must be the clay content.
The mask is great. It is smooth and a little bit goes a long way. It doesn't go tight, hard and uncomfortable. I was amazed, I could see the mask absorb the oil around my t-zone. Afterwards my face felt so fresh and clean I loved the feel of it.
The regime has helped to control my oily t-zone which I so struggle with. I love that it has a mixture of clays to manage oiliness in a natural way.
I did enjoy using this regime and I will definitely continue to use. Love how it is natural with the eucalyptus. Always make an effort to use natural products so it's really great.
Tips: Make sure not to overuse - only use a few days a week. It is reasonably strong and I can see that it could dry out skin that isn't oily.
This duo is so refreshing - I've never really dabbled with Eucalyptus in skin care before but I was pleasantly surprised with the results!
I have a very oily t-zone and since using the clay wash and mask in conjunction with each other its been really balanced.
The pack sizes and prices are fab, and the fact you can grab them with your groceries? Great!
Out of the two products I LOVE the mask and really enjoyed the wash, I think the key to using the wash is knowing your skin - avoid using on dry areas else it will strip them.
I think these would be amazing products for teenage / breakout prone skin as they contain so many oil zapping ingredients, they really do mattify!
Tips: Use sparingly, a little goes a long way, especially of the wash!
They say that team work, makes the dream work and this duo is good. They complement each other and look great side by side in the cupboard. The scents are the same and mild - please check out my reviews for my opinion on each product.
My skin is feeling lovely, and my complexion looks clearer, I also have less oil in the afternoons.
Definitely a duo I will continue to use & look forward to contemplating the results in a month.
Tips: Use a foundation brush for the mask, and less is more.
I was lucky enough to be picked to trial this regime by BR, so big thanks as always to them! I was really excited. Anyway, this regime retails for $14.99 for the wash and $24.99 for the mask I believe. For the price, you get a great amount of product in either. You can find it at supermarkets, Farmers, The Warehouse and other similar stores nationwide.
I did like this range, as I have oily combination skin, however, I would be wary if you are susceptible to dry patches. I sometimes do get them, and I found that these products sometimes made them worse. If you have dry skin, definitely steer clear of this range because I can only imagine how dry your skin would feel after it. The packaging of these products is also great - the wash is just an average tube however the mask comes in a hefty glass tub which feels very premium for the price. I will definitely be keeping these products out on display!
Overall, I definitely wouldn't say this is a miracle skincare regime, I didn't notice any huge improvements in the things I care about most (blackheads, huge amounts of oil) but this regime did perform a bit better than other face washes and masks I have tried. If you have to get one product from this range, I'd say get the mask, the smell is quite strong but it smells of gorgeous eucalyptus and my face felt nice and fresh after use.
I have been using the L'Oréal Purity Face Wash and Clay Mask together for about two weeks now.
I have noticed dramatically how much less oil my face is producing which I am loving :)
I use the face wash in the shower and leave it on for around two minutes, then rinse it off thouroughly. After jumping out of the shower I put a nice even layer of the clay mask on my face and leave it for about 12-15 minutes. It dries after about 10 minutes and makes the face feel super tight! I rinse this off with lukewarm water making sure to rinse everything off.
The results are very noticeable if you have clogged pores and blackheads. My blackheads on the nose shrink dramatically and almost disappear. My face looks a lot less congested and looks very fresh and clean.
My makeup during the day usually starts fading as the face oils melt it away, but the last week my makeup has stayed on all day with my face producing ALOT less oil.
I would recommend this to anyone that gets excessive oil.
Tips: Use together about 3 times a week. If you have super oily skin, try not to use too much moisturiser afterwards to keep skin on the dry side.
I was impressed with both of these products for not drying out my already very dry and sensitive skin. They did a great job of clearing up my t-zone - however i've suffered a hormonal zitout break which nothing seems to be working on.
The cleanser is lovely and soft - it doesn't dry your skin out despite containing clay and your skin feels lovely and supple afterwards. Preps your skin well for the rest of your skin care.
The mask doesn't take too long to dry and isn't hard to remove (meaning you don't need to scrub at your face for it) while I didn't notice much difference in my pores I did notice my t-zone not being as oily or gross.
Much like the reviewer below me I do wish they didn't test on animals. So it's unlikely i'll purchase these myself again but they are a fantastic well priced duo if you are in the market for a good clay cleanser and mask!
I used the clay cleanser everyday and the mask every 3 days for a more thorough and intense clean. The eucalyptus in the clay made both products smell pleasant, fresh and clean.
The cleanser is a wash and go product that makes it easy and convenient to implement into a beauty routine. The clay takes around 10 minutes to work it's magic so it's best to use in the evening.
These products really compliment each other as they both leave your skin feeling soft and fresh and both help remove excess oil, especially (for me) around my nose and forehead. Although it helped to remove the oil in my skin, the cleanser and mask aren't harsh as they didn't leave my skin feeling dry afterwards. If you suffer from oily skin I would definitely recommend adding these products to your beauty regime!
