Product Information

Christmas Collection! Featuring a host of skincare and makeup treats, these beauty showstoppers will please everyone (including yourself) on your gift list. Editor Tip: One of our testers previously called out this award-winning gel cleanser for its gentle, non-stripping feel on skin, which was a savior for her sensitive and acne-prone skin. "Gels can sometimes leave my skin super dry, but not so with this — must be the aloe leaf juice powder they blended into the formula," she said. Editor Tip: This cleanser also does a clean sweep of makeup, too. "I've started using it every night because it really is as gentle as it claims to be," says A llure associate beauty director Sarah Kinonen. "Oh, and its sweet tropical scent (I'd describe it as a virgin piña colada) isn't half bad, either." (Note: The fragrance is naturally-derived, whereas "fragrance-free" means a product doesn't include synthetic fragrances.) This fragrance-free formula contains kaolin clay to help absorb oil and activated binchotan charcoal to effectively draw out and absorb impurities. Bioflavonoid-rich extracts of citrus, aloe and broccoli help to smooth and refine pores, while murumuru seed and prebiotics work to promote a healthy microbiome by helping to fortify the skin’s natural lipid barrier. We’ve established that clay is helpful in detoxifying the skin, but if you’re wondering what that actually means, allow us to explain. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), clay was used for absorption in healing practices of ancient cultures. It works to attract molecules and particles from a surface, hence why it’s now used in skin care to draw out impurities like oil and dirt.

When you squeeze it out of the tube, it feels just like clay, but when worked into the skin and combined with water, it transforms into a mousse-like consistency. It leaves the skin feeling refreshed and helps to reveal a more even complexion. A creamy, sulfate-free clay cleanser that deeply cleanses and purifies to help keep pores clear. The vegan formula also helps reduce excess oil for balanced, healthy-looking skin.

Keep in mind that because the mask contains microbeads, you should take caution when applying it to the skin. If you’re too abrasive, you can run the risk of causing irritation.You’ll want to use a little more powder so you have enough to cover your face. Mix with water, apply the mixture to your face and leave it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Follow with hydrating facial oil or serum. Kaolin and bentonite clays absorb excess oil and reduce impurities,” explains Dr. Graf, which is why we love this mask from Origins that contains both. To simultaneously exfoliate, smooth, and decongest, you won’t regret giving this one a try. This pretty pink mask is formulated with clay (obviously), exfoliating jojoba beads, and soothing willowherb. The gritty little beads gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, while the willowherb and two types of clay work to restore and clarify. Our tester, who regularly uses a mask in her skincare routine, was surprised by how refreshing this mask felt, calling it a “deep cleanse.” After use, her skin felt clean and smooth. It’s also worth noting that the mask comes in a hygienic squeeze tube that deposits the mask into your hands, preventing contamination from grubby fingers.

Editor Tip: This foaming gel cleanser also contains glycerin, a highly hydrating humectant that leaves skin feeling soft to the touch. This combats glycolic acid's drying effect, so your skin won't feel tight after use.

Because it has such drying ingredients and abrasive little beads, less is more. Try not to rub too hard, and be sure to wash it off once it’s dried onto your skin.
