Skin Tone: Medium to Dusky

Hello Girls,

L’Oreal Paris created a major buzz in the skincare industry when they launched clay masks, scrubs and cleansers last year. Their entire line of products were a super hit and recently they added few more variants to their mask. So today, I am going to review their newest mask variant, which is their “Pure Clay Yuzu Lemon Brightening Mask”. Read on to know more about this product.

Price:
$19.99 AUD for 50 ml

Product Description:
The pure clay brightening mask combines 3 pure clays with the brightening properties of yuzu lemon to illuminate and even skin tone. A unique combination of 3 clays: KAOLIN: A pure clay highly concentrated with silicates and known to absorb impurities and excess oil to help purify delicate skin affected by daily pollutants. MONTMORILLONITE: A pure clay rich in minerals and this clay helps to purify and re-balance the skin and reducing imperfections. GHASSOUL: A pure clay able to absorb impurities and oils without causing irritation and leaving skin smooth and fresh and radiant

My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Pure Clay Yuzu Lemon Brightening Mask:

This product comes packaged in a small glass jar with a green cap. There is also an outer green color paper carton which contains all the ingredient list and other details. I like the packaging; it’s more like that of a spa product, but since it is heavy, I am quite afraid what my toddler will do with it if he ever gets his hands on this, as he loves to play with my makeup. There is also a lid on the mask under the cap.

The main ingredient of this L’Oreal mask is Yuzu lemon which has excellent brightening properties and it helps a lot to even out the skin tone and combats pigmentation. Besides Yuzu lemon, it also contains 3 pure clays kaolinite, montmorillonite, and ghassoul, to deep cleanse, purify and brighten the skin.

The texture of this product looks quite thick and moussey, and the color of the product is yellow and it also contains little black beads which helps in gentle exfoliation of the skin as described on the packaging, it “glides on the skin” very easily and it’s easy to get a nice, even, thin layer without any patchiness. And, the mask also tingles a bit as it dries down.

The mask promises to draw out dirt, oil, and other gunk from pores as well as to even out the skin tone and reduces dull skin. I first used this mask when I had some tiny blackheads heads near my nose and I felt my face was lifeless and dull. After using the mask, they actually disappeared completely and my skin transformed. I also noticed that my skin was smoother and softer, and much radiant and bright. It also did mild exfoliation and detoxified my skin very well.

L’Oreal claims that you only have to leave this mask on for 10-15 minutes, and I can attest to that. After 10 minutes, this mask completely dries and it does give you that “stiff” feeling that clay masks are known for. I have been leaving it on for the full 15 minutes and it still rinses easily after 20 minutes. The mask does what it says it brightens the skin and adds a subtle glow to the skin.

I have been enjoying this mask quite a bit! I am quite impressed by its performance. Upon using this mask, my skin definitely felt considerably cleaner and softer, but my skin tone was noticeably more even, toned, and radiant. What more to say? I just love this mask!!!
