Bentonite, found in Canada and the Midwest, is a colloidal aluminum silicate clay. It is used as a suspending agent in a variety of skin care formulas including lotions and makeup. Because it absorbs oil, it is often used as a facial mask to reduce shine. Also helps to stabilize formulas. See also: Kaolin." - Khiels
Looking at the product, it's a greyish cream like texture . After cleansing out face, put a thin layer of kiehls rare earth deep pore cleansing mask on your whole face ( if you have oily skin) , or on the T zone if u have combination skin( so that it won't dry up your skin).
Wait for 10 mins and wash it off .
Then voila ! You are done and could continue with you usual skincare routine .
Based on differing reviews , I am afraid that it might not work as well on me as different people have a different skin type . Therefore, I requested a sample from the one utama kiehls outlet .
Once apply on my nose, I could feel some mild stinging sensation, though it's till bearable . However , my forehead is quite comfortable with it and it is very easy to wash off .
Given 3 tries on my t zone area . I think it did clear the blackheads that stay and the surface and force some of the inner one out so it's easier to squeeze it out. However it does not really clean all blackheads on my nose, maybe because it's very deep inside and stubborn . Hmm...
I think I should invest in a blackhead squeezer to see whether it will aid my process in cleaning my pores .
What I have noticed is that After first application , The blackheads in my nose is visibly lesser and smoother . But then after 3 use in 3 weeks , I can see that my nose had been getting dryer where there are peeling slightly. Therefore I would recommend not to leave it on your face for too long, 8 minutes is enough in my opinion .
In conclusion , I think kiehls rare earth deep pore cleansingmask is quite good in cleaning the skin but it will still be drying if you have a dry skin and it might sting abit if you have sensitive skin.
P/s: as of 22/12 , kiehls klcc said they have no more stock on this. Though you girls could still give it a try if you sis pass by it in klcc .
