As far as the formula itself, Clarify & Smooth Mask is a powerful blend of 3 pure line clays - Kaolin, Montmorillonite and Moroccan Lava Clay to be exact - that can be found in others. However, what makes this mask different from others is the addition of a special ingredient not found in other masks: yuzu lemon extract.

L'Oreal Paris Pure-Clay Clarify & Smooth Mask Review

As someone with constantly clogged pores, blackheads, and excess sebum, I've been a proud patron of the L'Oreal Paris Pure-Clay line since the beginning. The brand won my heart with their Detox & Brighten Mask, so when they sent a free sample of the new Clarify & Smooth Mask for review by the Skincare.com team, I immediately volunteered.

The same day that Clarify & Smooth Mask arrived, I took it straight home to try it out. After cleansing my face, I applied the mask and waited a little over ten minutes before washing it off. The mask itself smells amazing, which made for a very luxurious feeling, but that was just the beginning! After using the Clarify & Smooth Mask, my complexion is smoother, fresher and more radiant. I can say that this mask removed all traces of dirt, dust and grease that may have remained on the surface of my skin after cleansing. I was so pleased with the immediate result!

Moral of the story: If you're looking for a mask that can help draw out impurities by removing rough, dead skin cells for a smoother, more even complexion, I recommend trying the Clarify & Smooth Mask. I am more than satisfied with the results I have seen and will be incorporating this clay mask into my routine.
