Love this!!

One of my favourite masks, its available in a lot of places and it has a great price point. The packaging is simple yet effective and works well with the rest of the 'Pure Clay' range by L'Oreal.

The product comes in a glass container which makes it feel more high-end and expensive. There is also a small reusable seal disk to place on before the lid to keep it more air tight - being a clay mask you dont want it to dry out unless its on your face!

I like to use the mask 1-2 times a week depending on what my skin is like and I just apply it with a paddle makeup brush as it makes the application so much easier. The way the tub is shaped the brush allows you to get in the corners and stops you wasting product on your hands.

I like being able to see the oils and imperfections that have been drawn out once my mask has dried. The mask lightens to a light grey colour, and the oily imperfections remain darker.

The mask is easy to remove, I would recommend using a darker facecloth or an old facecloth as the product is charcoal in colour.

After removal my skin feels amazing, and looks brighter. Love it!

Tips: Apply with a cheap paddle makeup brush for easy application.

My skin feels amazingly soft and bright!

I have been using L'Orèal Paris Pure Clay Mask for about a week now. I alternate using it once every two days. I apply the clay as directed on the packaging, around my face and avoiding eyes and lips area. Not long after that I feel my skin tightens. I waited for about 15 minutes, the clay dried and change its colour to grey from almost black. I einse it using warm towel. Afterwards my skin feels very soft and firm. I love this product! It definitely detox and brightens my skin. Very satisfied, and will definitely using this again!

Tips: Do yourself a favour! Before applying the mask, get your favourite relaxing music ready! After applying the mask, lie down, turn the music on and just relax while the mask does its job.

Works a treat

I really like face masks and L'Oreal's detoxify & brighten was such a refreshing change from the normal superficial clay masks out there. My skin felt noticeably soft and tighter after the first use and it got into my pores very well. I also really enjoyed the smell and smooth texture of the mask when on. It was easy to tell when the mask was ready to take off as it dried and changed to a grey colour.

New Favourite

I was selected to trial this product and it was instant love (and conveniently it arrived the day I'd finished another face mask).

The product comes in expensive looking packing. A nice shiny box with a window, then the product is in a hefty high end looking glass jar. It instantly lifted the product's image.

Inside the glass jar is the charcoal coloured mask. I would use it twice a week, and more frequently if you have problem skin.

The box did not contain an applicator, which I would have liked to have seen, but fingers work in a pinch if you don't have one on hand.

Apply a thin layer over your face (if you make it too thick it won't dry so easily and have the same impact). The mask instantly starts to dry, and as it does it lightens, with areas like clogged pores staying darker as impurities are drawn out. The mask also starts to feel tighter on the face.

After the 15 to 20 minutes the mask if dry and easily comes off with a warm cloth. I also use the wash with a warm cloth prior to applying the mask which leaves my pores more open.

Afterwards my skin felt brighter and detoxified and I noticed a few tiny black dots on my nose had gone.

Tips: The wash and mask together pack an extra punch for detoxifying the skin.

L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Mask Detoxify & Brighten

I really loved the pure clay mask! I found a little bit goes a long way. I put a thin layer on and found it to be a little thicker then other clay masks but I really like this one. Even my daughters wanted to try this mask out. Its super easy to put on and take off. It left my skin feeling amazing! So fresh and smooth. It's not overly priced and I think you will get quite a lot of masks out of it. I would definitely recommend this product to friends and family. And will make sure it's on my list of things to buy once I have run out.

Loved it

Nice glass bottle with a cover to keep the product from drying out. Very thick. I applied way too much the first time thinking my face had to be full on grey! But the second and third time I applied less. Its an odd feeling as the mask drys as it tightens your skin. Feels weird to smile or move your eyebrows. I didn't mind the feeling (my guinea pig husband wasn't a fan at all!) It did leave my skin feeling extremely dry after so I had to put moisturiser on. I didnt feel the mask had as much of a smell as the wash.

The product seems to have worked for me. My skin looks fresher with less red around my nose.

Really good Glam Glow dupe!

This mask reminds me of the Glam Glow Super Mud mask - but way cheaper. It does the same kind of thing - dries down on your skin, but you can see brighter patches, where the mask is absorbing oils and impurities (which is gross but super satisfying to see). I think it's a really good mask for deeply cleaning your pores, and is great for combo/oily skin. If you have dry skin it might be a bit too drying for you - you can just use it where you need it though e.g. your T-zone, so if you have dry skin, maybe just use it like that, or to spot treat.

Tips: Use 2-3 times a week to keep your skin super clean and detoxified!

L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Mask Detoxify & Brighten

I have to start this of by saying that I have acne prone skin with normal type around the cheek area and an oily t-zone. I was so excited to try this mask and I definitely was not disappointed!

It arrived in a compact green box with a window. The product itself came in a square glass bottle with a green lid. Felt very luxurious! As you open the lid there is a protective cover which you have to lift to reveal the mask.

The product inside the jar is dark grey in colour. It isn't goopy but it is thick in nature. There are no bits throughout the mask as it is quite a smooth texture.

I have used this 3 times since I received it. I apply a thin layer using my fingers to my freshly cleansed face. You do not need to use a lot as a little goes a long way! Applies very smoothly without a fuss. I really liked the smell of this mask as I did not find it to be overpowering at all. It says to leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. The mask starts to dry really quickly and as it dries it starts to become a shade lighter. The most satisfying part is that as this mask dries on your face, little dots start appearing on the areas where it seems to be sucking out the most gunk. This also starts to tighten as it dries.

After the 15 minutes is up (and the mask is completely dry on your face), I removed this using warm water and a soft face cloth. It removes just as easily as it goes in which is awesome! I instantly noticed the little blackheads on my nose had decreased in number! My skin felt really smooth and looked amazing. I felt as if the mask had actually taken out all the gunk from the top layer of my skin.

The first couple of days after using this for the first time, I did notice some pimply bumps around my cheek and chin area. I figured this was just due to the mask pulling out all the unnecessary oils from deep within my skin and sure enough, I was right. After the first few days these went away and I was left with great looking skin!

This mask is definitely something I would repurchase again - not that I would have to anytime soon as the amount of product that comes in this is insane! :)

Tips: I used this in conjunction with the gel face wash from the same line and i felt like the two products work really well with each other!!

Love at first sight

Wow!!! I am totally in love with this pure clay mask by l'Oreal. It has a thick consistency but when applied to the skin it feels so lovely and fresh. I applied less the second time I used it and I feel that less is better. It dried quicker too when less is applied. It has a nice tight feeling on the skin. It's really easy to apply and wash off is easy just use a warm flannel. I am so stoked with the way my skin feels after using this product for even a short time. My skin feels clean, fresh and literally like I've just had a facial. I will definitely buy this product in the future and also recommend to my family and friends as they need to know how good this is. It's my favourite thing I have reviewed so far!!!

Loving the packaging too!!!

Tips: Apply less rather than more

My go to mask now!

I'm normally not a big fan of L'Oreal products. I find them a bit overrated, so going into this trial I wasn't expecting much. However, my opinion changed after my first use and I think this is one of my favourite masks! This mask looks like any other charcoal mask, and the packinging is very nice. I used the mask straight after my shower (after using the face wash from the line) while my pores were still open. It is quite a small jar, but you don't need to use a lot of it - a thin layer will do. I left it on for 10 mins like it said and took it off using a warm face cloth. This was where I started to see some magic happening. As I was taking the mask off, I could see that it had pulled gunk from my pores. I was so shocked. I thought my skin was already cleaned but I guess this stuff was deep down, once it was all off, I did a quick rinse with cold water to close my pores. Straight after my first use I could definitely see some changes. My pores were visibly smaller, my skin looked a lot brighter and clearer! I had a few pimples on my face at the time and the smaller ones looked less red and appeared as if they had reduced in size. I followed with my normal routine - toner and sweet almond oil. My partner even mentioned that my skin looked glowing and healthy. At this point I was already converted but the next day when I woke up, my mind was made up. This was my new fav. I had to big blind pimples on my chin that were red and sore. The next morning the redness was gone and they had significantly reduced in size! I couldn't believe it! Another bonus is that it didn't over dry my skin - even though I have combo skin, whenever I use a charcoal mask, it dries out my skin around my pimples and it just didn't do that with me! Thanks beauty review for picking me for this trial! I can't believe I am typing this, but this product is a game changer for me :)

Tips: Use this with the face wash from the range. It's not over drying and you'll see some good results!
