Star Ingredients: Phytic acid, jojoba oil, algae extract
The real benefit of this mask is how effective it is without stripping skin of its natural oils. Many resurfacing and purifying masks leave your skin feeling bone dry, which can lead to overproduction of oil to compensate. This clay-based mask gently sucks out any impurities that may cause blemishes and breakouts and evens out dark spots, while using jojoba oil to replenish skin.

Of all the masks listed here, this one is easily the most powerful, in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend this for skin that is sensitive or easily irritated since there is an intense tingling sensation for the first minute or so. That being said, this mask does WORK! It uses triple-action exfoliation (manual, chemical and enzymatic) to make sure skin looks and feels smooth, fresh and decongested. I always notice a huge difference in texture and tone — with zero redness — after using this mask.

When you don't have the funds or time to head to the spa, you can get the same results at home. I've been using this retexturizing mask for about two years now — it has been and will always be one of my favorite masks of all time. As soon as you smooth on the formula, the 25 percent AHA and 2 percent BHA blend gets to work making your skin look and feel baby soft. For the first 30-60 seconds after it hits your skin, you'll feel a tingling sensation. After you wash it off, you will be in awe at how jaw-droppingly beautiful your complexion looks.
