I had two sample packets of this mask and I was really excited to try it out as I've been reading so many great things about the clay masks and seeing them everywhere. It's gritty (as you would expect of a clay mask) and a dark charcoal grey color. I think it has a light, pleasant scent--maybe slightly minty? But if you have a sensitive nose, definitely give it a sniff before purchasing. It's smoo...read moreth enough to be easy to apply, but I found it a bit difficult to rinse off completely. I used it 4 or 5 times, tried a different way of removing the mask each time, and never did find a method that was 100% effective. It does what it claims, though (mostly)! At least as far as I can tell. I don't have dark spots, but it definitely helped with dry spots and my skin looked very fresh and bright after using this mask. I didn't notice any reduction of visible pores. Kind of the opposite, actually, since the dark colored product was so difficult to rinse off completely, I think it made some pores appear darker and more visible until I used toner to get the last of the mask off my skin. Probably if it is used consistently over time and once I get the hang of getting it cleaned off all the way, I could see this product being great for cleaning out pores. It's definitely a nice product, effective and simple to use. The current price on Sephora is $50 for a just over two ounce jar, so I think I won't be buying the full size of this product. Not yet anyway. I'd like to test drive a few clay masks from other brands before I decide which one I'm going to commit to. Really happy I tried this one, though!
