This mask both brightens and comforts the skin, all the while re-balancing excess oil and gently nourishing as it goes. No it doesn't quite clear out pesky blocked pores, nor does it reduce the size but then again what does? If like myself you sometimes find typical based clay masks a little striping yet want to refresh and balance your overly oily complexion, this is my recommendation. Sadly (or not, I'm unsure) this does not have a grape based scent - once again it is a bog standard, clean and very atypical skin care fragrance. You can't win them all.
