Details & care
What it is: A purifying clay powder cleanser with double exfoliating power that detoxifies skin, reduces excess oil and helps minimize the appearance of pores.
Who it's for: Ideal for oily skin, including sensitive and acne-prone skin.
What it does: The cleanser is formulated with responsibly sourced Amazonian White Clay. The concentrated powder cleanser is Kiehl's very first powder-to-foam formula, which is activated with a touch of water to provide a deep yet gentle daily cleanse that helps to smooth and revitalize skin by drawing out dirt and toxins that can cause clogged pores. It helps visibly reduce surface oil and shine.
How to use: Gently shake before use. When used as a daily cleanser, apply a dime-sized amount directly onto wet hands and work into a light foam, then apply onto damp facial skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with water. Recommended to use as a daily cleanser twice a day.

A secret weapon
This is a slept on product IMHO... I was amazed at how much it helped with excess oil during a breakout. My pores have never been an area of concern for me but I did notice that they were visibly smaller and my skin texture improved while using this. I now also use it once a week on areas I get waxed for some extra exfoliation and to help pull out the oils that can cause ingrown hairs and it's been beneficial for that too.

Difficult and messy
I ordered as I used the mask, and thought this would be another great option. Unfortunately, it is messy and challenging to use. I was really disappointed.
