L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Purifying Eucalyptus Mask Review

This mask has a really nice thick texture and has a slight strong scent but very natural smelling.

My skin slightly stings when I put this on, which I guess is the mask doing its magic. It takes about 10 minutes to set.

After rinsing off, skin feels very refreshed and clean with all the dirt and oil diminished.

I noticed all my pores were smaller and blackheads on my nose were almost invisible.

All week using this I had no excess oil during the day which I usually get which was amazing!

After a week my blemishes and imperfections did not reduce, but this may change after using for longer.

I love this week mask! Its a shame it doesnt come in a bigger container! 50 mls just doesnt seem big enough!

I tried this beaut out with my girlfriends one weekend and we all had pleasant experiences.

It smells great, not over powering at all. It also went on like a dream, with fingers or a brush.

The product dries very quickly and you can definitely see the mask drawing out the impurities, especially around the t zone, I have used the product twice this week and am pleased with the effects. It definitely purifies the skin, all comments were in the vicinity of " my skin looks clearer and more evened out skin tone" . My skin felt smooth and calm afterwards as well.

I paired this up with the cream wash but it tends to dry your skin out a bit too much.

Would definitely re purchase this product it works so well.

I have been terrible about looking after my skin lately, so this product arriving from BR was really good timing! Unfortunately, I'm in two minds about this product...

Good points: This product comes in a lovely heavy glass tub, that looks classy on the shelf. The mask is a lovely pale green colour on application, drying to an off-white. The mask was a good consistency, not too thick and easy to spread, and it washed off easily, leaving my skin feeling very clean.

Not so great points: The mask didn't come with anything for getting it out of the tub hygienically, so I had to dip my fingers in. The instructions said to leave it on my face for 10-15 minutes, but I found that unpleasant as the product had a very overpowering smell that ended up making me feel a little unwell.

Did it help my skin? I'm not sure. I was trying this product at the same time as trying the accompanying clay face wash, which dried my skin out, so I'm not sure to what extent this contributed to my skin getting a little too dry. Of course, the good thing about a mask is you can use it as little or as often as you need.

Finally, the price is a very affordable $25. As such, this may be a good option for people with oily skin who don't mind scented products. However, if you experience dryness or dislike fragrance, this is not the best product for you.

The texture of the mask is nice and smooth so it’s easy to apply. You do not need too much to get a full coverage but definitely don’t be stingy around your problem areas like the t-zone. After using this product in conjunction with the ranges clay wash it does amplify the matte feeling of your skin but in a good way.

When the mask hardens it’s easy to wash away. Unlike like some masks where it takes forever to get it all off which can prove annoying.

It leaves your skin feeling incredibly smooth. However if you do have a breakout maybe don’t apply a much because it will sting a little or just apply around it.

Although it is supposed to help brighten your skin tone I didn’t notice it and I did use it 2 twice a week. I feel that if you’re committed to using this as a regime you’d reap the benefits. As someone with faded acne scars I’ll continue to use the mask every so often and hopefully notice a difference over time.

Overall I’d say it’s great for all skin types, just apply as much as you think you need but don’t over do it.
