Neutrogena Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser Mask, 4.2 oz

This lovely white clay mask works wonders in a very short time. Deep cleans pores and smooths skin better than anything i have tried. You can apply it, let it dry, then wash it off with a washcloth and warm water and your face will be smooth and glowing with invisible pores.

I’ve been using this product for a while now, and it’s one of the few cleansers that actually helps keep my skin clear. It works great as a daily face wash, but I really love using it as a mask when my skin needs a deep clean. The cooling sensation from the benzoyl peroxide makes my face feel super fresh, and it helps with breakouts without over-drying. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, this is a solid choice. Just be careful if you have sensitive skin,it’s strong!

I found this mask while looking through the Amazon FSA/HSA store and decided to give it a shot.For my pictures:Pink Border—Before MaskGreen Border—Mask just appliedBlue Border—5 minutes dryingYellow Border—After MaskRed Border—Top pic is of my forehead before, Bottom pic is of my forehead afterInitial impressions: I like that this product can be used both as an everyday cleanser and as a deep mask. It’s a thick but runny consistency and is easy to apply. The smell is a bit strong and stung my eyes but nothing too bad. The scent reminds me of shampoo.The directions didn’t say to rinse/wash your face before so I applied it on ‘dirty’ skin at night. The consistency as I spread it on my face reminded me of a toothpaste or lotion/sunscreen. Like the bottle states, it has a cooling sensation that gets more intense the longer you wear it. In the recommended five minutes, I did feel the thinner parts of the mask pull at my skin as it dried.To remove, I wet my hands and focused on my cheeks first. I expected it to come off easily but it basically just thinned but continued to spread/smear. It took a few splashes and some rubbing to remove it completely. When I got to my nose and forehead I switched to using a reusable cotton round. I wet that and swiped the product away and that took it off easily. I rubbed at my nose a bit too hard to get the product out of the creases of my nostrils, which is why it’s a bit red in the after pictures.I’m not sure how well it comes across in the pictures, but my skin feels way smoother now! I had a few blemishes and blackheads/whiteheads that were pretty close to the surface that I was scared to pick at (since once I get started I can’t stop and leave my face a bloody mess). They’re not completely gone but I can feel that a lot are gone. And the ones that remain feel closer to the surface than they were before. I’m not going to pick those out but I’m sure they would also come out with some normal exfoliation.After patting my face dry I simple applied some serum face mist and left it at that. My skin feels tighter than before and I still have a lingering refreshing sensation. I can see how overusing this would dry out your skin. If you’re already prone to dryness, I would recommend following up with a very hydrating moisturizer.Overall, I recommend! It’s worth giving a try at least. I’ll continue to post updates as I go through the bottle.

Does what other more expensive options do for a fraction of the price. My blackheads have really diminished and its not very irritating to my skin surprisingly considering how effective it is.

Works great can be used for face mask and a regular face wash 2 in 1 👍

This arrived on time and perfectly sealed. It is on the smaller side but a little will go a long way. I use it mostly for the mask properties, and it didn't disappoint. The mint feel that it gives is refreshing, with a slight tingle, and my face feels clean and softer after use. It's a good product to incorporate into your routine.

Dries quickly. Cleaned stubborn spots well.

The blackheads on my nose were finally removed after one wash. It didn’t leave my skin feeling dry.
