Product Overview
SkinCeuticals Clarifying Clay Mask is a treatment mask that pairs natural earth clays (kaolin and bentonite) with a 5% hydroxy acid blend to deliver controlled exfoliation and absorb excess sebum from the skin surface. Botanical extracts of aloe and chamomile help offset the drying tendency of clay-based formulations, supporting a comfortable post-mask skin condition.
Within the SkinCeuticals Correct line, this mask is positioned for oily, congested, and acne-prone skin and is commonly recommended in Singapore dermatology and aesthetic practices as a once- to twice-weekly adjunct to topical retinoid, salicylic acid or in-clinic comedone extraction protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the Clarifying Clay Mask be used with prescription topical retinoids?
A: Yes, but spacing is important. Most dermatologists recommend applying the mask on non-retinoid evenings, or 2–3 days before reintroducing retinoids, to limit cumulative irritation. Defer to your prescribing clinician.
Q: How does this differ from a sulphur or salicylic acid mask?
A: This formulation prioritises sebum absorption (clay) plus low-grade exfoliation via a 5% hydroxy acid blend. Salicylic acid masks act preferentially within the pilosebaceous unit; sulphur masks have antimicrobial action. Choice depends on the dominant clinical concern (oil control vs comedonal vs inflammatory acne).
Q: Is the mask appropriate for sensitive skin?
A: The hydroxy acid content (5%) and clay drawdown effect make it most suitable for normal-to-oily and combination skin. Patients with rosacea, eczema, or compromised barrier function should consult a dermatologist before use.
Q: How should I purchase authentic SkinCeuticals products in Singapore?
A: EMIS Asia is an authorised Singapore reseller. Products are stored under controlled-temperature conditions and shipped same-day within Singapore. Authenticity batch numbers are traceable to L'Oréal's regional distribution.
Q: Can the mask be used as a spot treatment overnight?
A: It is formulated as a short-contact (5–10 minute) rinse-off mask. Overnight wear is not recommended due to clay desiccation and acid contact time. For overnight blemish care, see SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense.
Use & Application
Apply an even layer to clean dry skin avoiding eye and lip area. Leave on 5–10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water; pat dry. Follow with appropriate SkinCeuticals serum and moisturiser. Discontinue if irritation occurs and consult your clinician.
