🎯 At a Glance
🔬 How It Actually Works
A very soft phyllosilicate group of minerals. It has massive swelling capabilities, meaning it acts as an aggressive vacuum to pull heavy sebum and dirt from deep within the pore lining.
💖 Why your skin loves it
Clears blackheads, tightens pores physically, and acts as a mild antibacterial.
💡 Pro Tip
Use sparingly; can be drying if left on the skin until it cracks completely.
