The 2X is without a doubt creamier but it feels quite similar to the original. It’s easy to spread thin and will have a cooling sensation once it’s on your face. It does not crack. It does not tighten either so you can definitely wear this for 10 minutes while attending to whatever chores you might have or go about doing whatever you need to do. My face felt a whole lot cleaner after I washed off the mask and while my pores were not visibly smaller, I was still very satisfied with the way my skin felt and looked.
I remember noticing less sebum production with the original Clay Mask after using it but didn’t note much of a difference with this one. What I felt and noticed was my skin was firmer and looked a tad bit brighter. Unfortunately, my pores didn’t look that different and it didn’t do anything for my blackheads.
Since too much could be counterproductive, I would probably use this 1-2 times a week.
