Overview
Eminence Pore Refining Masque is a gel format mask made for all skin types, built around vitamin C and vitamin E as its key active ingredients. Unlike the clay based masks in this lineup, this one leans on antioxidants to support the appearance of firmer, more nourished and moisturized skin, all wrapped in a raspberry scent.
The alcohol free, organic formula comes in a compact 2 fluid ounce size, which is smaller than many of the other masks here but fits the premium positioning of the brand. It is described with benefits around firming, moisturizing, and nourishing, which points to a mask meant more for skin support than deep pore cleansing.
With 157 ratings averaging 4.4 stars, the response has been solidly positive, though the review base is on the smaller side, and current bought last month activity sits at zero.

Performance notes
Vitamin C is an antioxidant often included to support the look of brighter, more even toned skin, while vitamin E is generally used to help support the skin barrier and add a nourishing feel. Together in a gel base, these ingredients position this mask as a lighter, more antioxidant focused treatment rather than a deep pore cleansing clay mask.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 157 ratings is a solid result, suggesting the vitamin C and vitamin E gel formula has worked well for the people who have tried it. The smaller review count compared to some other masks in this category means the rating carries a bit less statistical weight, though it is still a meaningfully positive signal.

Frequently asked questions
Is this mask a clay mask?
No, it is a gel format mask built around vitamin C and vitamin E rather than clay, so it is positioned more toward firming and nourishing than deep pore cleansing. It may feel lighter and less drying than a traditional clay mask.
What skin type is this mask best for?
It is labeled for all skin types, and its gel, antioxidant focused formula tends to suit people looking for a nourishing treatment rather than an intense oil control mask. Anyone with very reactive skin should still patch test first given the added scent.
Why is this mask more expensive than others in this category?
It reflects a premium brand positioning with vitamin C and vitamin E as active ingredients in an organic, alcohol free base, which typically costs more than a simple drugstore clay formula. The smaller 2 fluid ounce size also plays a role in the higher per ounce price.
