I use this clay mask a few times a week and have found it does a good job of helping curb breakouts and shrinking my pores. After cleansing I apply it, leave it on for 20 minutes or so and then remove it with my Clarisonic. My skin looks clearer and my pores are much less pronounced. It evens out my skintone and leaves my face feeling smooth. It doesn't smell the greatest but most clay based anti-acne/oily skin/pore shrinking masks don't. It's a bit pricey but the tube lasts a long time so it's not that bad.
