The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
This green tea infused clay mask is built to target the appearance of pores and oiliness while also folding in aloe, collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, giving it a broader ingredient profile than a basic clay formula. It comes with a small plastic brush included, which makes even application a bit easier straight out of the box.
The formula is marketed as natural, organic and not tested on animals, and it is free of alcohol, parabens and SLS, which keeps the ingredient list on the gentler side despite the clay base. At 4.23 ounces and under 10 dollars, it is priced well below many of the other clay masks in this category.
With 329 ratings averaging 4.2 stars, the feedback is generally positive, though the score sits a bit below some of the pricier clay masks reviewed here, which is worth weighing against the lower price point.

Performance notes
Kaolin clay is a mild, absorbent clay that draws out surface oil without being as intense as harsher clays, which pairs well with the calming aloe and hydrating hyaluronic acid also in this formula. Green tea extract and vitamin E are included as antioxidant support, rounding out a mask that aims to balance oil control with a gentler overall feel.
What buyers say
A 4.2 star average across 329 ratings is a respectable score, particularly at this price point, though it trails slightly behind some of the higher rated, higher priced masks in this same category.

Frequently asked questions
Does this mask help with oily skin?
The kaolin clay base is intended to draw out excess surface oil, which is a big part of why it is marketed toward combination and oily skin. Aloe and hyaluronic acid are also included to help keep the experience from feeling overly drying.
Is the included brush necessary to use the mask?
The brush is a convenience for spreading the mask evenly, but it is not required. Clean fingers or a different applicator work just as well if you prefer not to use the included brush.
Is this mask suitable for sensitive skin?
It is labeled for sensitive skin among other types, and the alcohol free, paraben free and SLS free formula supports that claim, but sensitive skin can react differently to any clay mask. Patch testing on a small area first is a sensible precaution.
