Quick answer

A red clay mask helps remove excess oil and impurities from the skin's surface, which is why it is used 2–3 times a week, especially on oily and combination skin. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area, leave it until it dries and rinse off.

What is red clay?

Red clay is a type of clay that gets its colour from the iron oxides it contains. In cosmetics, clay masks are popular because they help draw excess oil and dirt from the skin's surface. Alongside red clay (illite) and kaolin, Croen Red Clay Mask contains zinc PCA, hyaluronic acid and bisabolol.

Who should use it?

  • Oily and combination skin: 2–3 times a week for skin that gets shiny during the day and has visible pores.
  • Normal skin: once a week to refresh the skin.
  • Dry skin: only on oily areas such as the forehead, nose and chin, and only occasionally.

How to use it

  1. Cleanse and dry your skin.
  2. Apply a thin layer of the mask, avoiding the eye area.
  3. Wait until it dries; if it stings or burns, rinse it off straight away.
  4. Rinse with lukewarm water and moisturise.

Mild, short-lived redness may appear after rinsing; this is a common effect of clay masks.
