How To Use

Application: Cleanse and tone skin thoroughly. Apply a thin, even layer of Clarifying Clay Masque to the entire face, carefully avoiding the delicate eye and lip areas. Ensure complete coverage for optimal results.

Frequency: Use once weekly as part of your professional skincare routine. For targeted treatment, the masque may also be applied directly to individual blemishes as an overnight spot treatment.

Timing: Leave the masque on for 10-15 minutes. Unlike traditional clay masks, this formulation will not dry to a hard finish, ensuring continued comfort throughout the treatment.

Removal: Rinse thoroughly with warm water using gentle circular motions. Pat skin dry with a clean towel. Follow with your customary toner, serum, and moisturiser.

Expert Tips: For enhanced results, use a soft, damp cloth during removal to provide additional gentle exfoliation. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance tailored to your specific skin concerns.

FAQ

Q: How often should I use the Clarifying Clay Masque?

A: SkinCeuticals recommends using this masque once weekly for optimal results. However, the formula is gentle enough to be used as a targeted overnight spot treatment on individual blemishes when needed. For personalised guidance based on your specific skin concerns, speak to our experts.

Q: Will this mask dry out my skin?

A: Unlike traditional clay masks, the Clarifying Clay Masque is specifically formulated to purify without over-drying. The inclusion of glycerin, aloe, and other humectants ensures skin remains comfortable throughout treatment. The mask does not dry to a hard, tight finish, making it suitable even for combination skin types.

Q: Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

A: Whilst the formula includes soothing botanicals, the 2% hydroxy acid content and clay concentration mean sensitive skin types should approach with caution. We recommend performing a patch test and consulting our skincare experts for personalised advice. Those with reactive skin may benefit from less frequent application or shorter contact time initially.

Q: How long will it take to see results?

A: Many clients notice immediate improvements in skin clarity and texture after the first application, with pores appearing more refined and skin feeling smoother. For sustained benefits such as reduced breakouts and improved skin balance, consistent weekly use over 4-6 weeks is recommended. Results vary depending on individual skin concerns and overall skincare routine.

Q: Can I use this alongside other SkinCeuticals products containing acids?

A: Yes, the Clarifying Clay Masque can be integrated into a comprehensive professional skincare routine. However, avoid using multiple exfoliating products on the same day to prevent over-exfoliation. For optimal results and personalised layering recommendations, consult our experts who can advise on appropriate product combinations for your skin type.

Q: What should I do if the mask causes tingling?

A: Mild tingling is normal due to the hydroxy acid content and typically subsides within a few minutes. This is part of the exfoliation process. However, if you experience persistent burning, stinging, or discomfort, remove the mask immediately with cool water. This may indicate skin sensitivity requiring adjusted application frequency or alternative products. Speak to our experts for guidance.
