The masks that promise to transform your skin in just 10 minutes

The product

The easiest way to instantly transform your skin and make it appear brighter, smoother, clearer or more hydrated than it was 10 minutes before is to apply a face mask. Two masks that promise to do all that and more are the L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Anti-Blemish Mask and L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detoxifying + Brightening Mask. The anti-blemish mask works to reduce the appearance of blackheads and blemishes while tightening pores and soothing the skin. Alternatively, the brightening mask works to detoxify the skin’s surface, while drawing out impurities and blackheads to leave the skin looking bright and healthy.

The panel

Beauty Crew sent the L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Anti-Blemish Mask and L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detoxifying + Brightening Mask to women aged between 18 and 34 of all skin types who were looking for a face mask that would transform their skin in just 10 minutes.

The lowdown

Here’s what the Review Crew® loved about the L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Anti-Blemish Mask: 

How well it cleared blemishes: The number one thing most testers loved about the anti-blemish mask was how effectively and quickly it reduced the size of their pimples. Additionally, many were surprised at how significantly the mask reduced their redness in a matter of days.

How effectively the formula tightened pores: Not only did reviewers comment on how smooth the mask left their skin feeling after use, they also loved that their pores appeared smaller both immediately after washing the formula off and the next morning when they woke up.

How soothed skin felt after use: Many testers were worried the clay mask would leave their skin feeling dry and stripped, however the majority of reviewers actually commented on how soft and healthy-looking the mask left their skin.

How luminous it left skin: Rejuvenated, bright and cleansed…those are just some of the words testers used to describe how their skin felt after washing off the brightening mask. Other reviewers also loved how long their skin continued to look luminous for, with many commenting that the results lasted for days.

How smooth and soft skin felt after use: One of the biggest compliments members had of the brightening mask was how soft and smooth skin felt after use. One tester claimed her skin felt as soft as a baby’s bum!
