Its not too drying, but good for when you are feeling oily and need a deep cleanse. It can be used as a cleanser or a mask. ...I prefer to use is as a face mask a couple of times a week instead of a cleanser, though (even though it's also amazing as a cleanser!).
What it is:
A powerful, multifunctional cleanser that washes away dead skin cells, pore-clogging oil, and build-up while smoothing and firming skin.
What it is formulated to do:
This dual-purpose cleanser and mask draws out deep-lying oil and dirt while smoothing the skin. It reduces the appearance of pores, minimizes imperfections, and absorbs excess oil without drying skin. This soothing formula contains volcanic ash, which is packed with high concentrations of more than 10 natural antioxidant minerals that work to restore, repair, and smooth skin while regulating moisture levels. It also contains glycolic acid, a highly effective chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and build-up for noticeably softer, firmer, clearer skin.
