This clay mask combines kaolin and activated charcoal with 2% salicylic acid to draw out oil and work on clogged pores and blemishes. Squalane and glycerin are included so the mask doesn't leave skin feeling completely stripped once it dries down. It's meant for occasional use rather than as a daily cleanser replacement.
