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.

Finally cleared up my congestion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The clay texture is super fine and lathers into a creamy paste. It smells earthy and clean. After a week, my pores look way tighter and my skin feels insanely smooth.

My oily T-zone is actually under control

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fine, gritty texture of this powder. It smells earthy and clean. After a week, my pores look tighter and my skin feels smoother without that stripped, tight feeling.

Best daily facewash

The best daily exfoliation and extra bonus of being easy to travel with (lightweight and non-liquid). Please do not discontinue - please please please!

Finally cleared my congested T-zone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the fine, sandy texture of this powder. It leaves my skin feeling super smooth without being stripped. The earthy, clay scent is subtle and not too chemical.

Finally cleared my congested nose pores

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the grit of this powder; it feels like a fine sand that buffs away flakes. It has a faint, earthy clay scent. My skin feels super smooth and matte after.

Finally cleared my stubborn nose congestion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The clay texture is super fine and doesn't feel scratchy. It has a faint, earthy scent and my pores look noticeably tighter after a week of using it. My skin feels clean, not stripped.
