Rare Earth Clay Face Mask for Pores & Uneven Texture

Kiehl's Rare Earth Clay Face Mask is a deep-cleansing clay treatment aimed at clogged pores, excess oil and uneven texture. Kiehl's positions it as a soothing mask as much as an effective one — the discomfort people associate with drying clay is something the formula is built to limit.

Best for	Normal, oily and combination skin
Targets	Pores · oiliness · uneven texture
Format	Rinse-off clay mask
Frequency	Up to 2–3 times a week

What it actually does

• Visibly reduces clogged pores. That is the brand's primary claim for this mask, alongside drawing down excess oil.
• Takes on uneven texture. Kiehl's lists texture as one of the three concerns the mask is formulated to address.
• Minimises the discomfort of clay. The brand describes the experience as soothing, which is the point of difference from masks that leave skin feeling tight and raw.
• Works as a weekly routine step. It is designed to be repeated two to three times a week rather than used as a one-off treatment.

How to use

1. Cleanse first. Apply the mask afterwards, onto skin that is still damp.
2. Keep the layer thin. Spread it over the face and avoid the area immediately around the eyes.
3. Wait about ten minutes. Let the clay dry down.
4. Remove gently. Use a warm, wet towel to lift the dried clay away, then pat the skin dry.
5. Repeat two to three times a week. That is the maximum frequency Kiehl's suggests.

Questions

How often should I use it?

Kiehl's suggests up to two or three times a week. Going beyond that with any clay mask risks over-drying, so stay within that range and judge by how your skin feels.

How long do I leave it on?

Roughly ten minutes, or until it has dried. Then take it off with a warm, wet towel rather than scrubbing it away, and pat your skin dry.

Can I use it on dry skin?

Kiehl's lists the suitable skin types as normal, oily and combination — dry skin is not among them. If your skin is dry but you have congested areas, confining the mask to those spots is the more cautious approach.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. Stocked items reach you faster; anything brought in for your order takes longer. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.
