Dermalogica Clear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask

When I read reviews of this mask just after it launched, I knew I had to give it a try. My pores are like little oil wells and that means that I suffer from congestion and blackheads. And I mean I suffer. Especially in summer. I picked up the mask at the new Dermalogica Concept Store in Tygervalley when they had their 20% off Black Friday sale. I would love to say ‘skin first’, but let’s be honest; it’s budget first. In saying that, I was quite surprised how affordable this mask is compared to other Dermalogica products. I don’t think that R329 for a 50ml Dermalogica product is bad at all! Anyway, on to the mask.

The Dermalogica Clear Start Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask contains:

• Sulfur which provides anti-microbial benefits to help keep skin clear.
• Kaolin Clay which absorbs excess oil and purifies the skin .
• Apple Fruit Extract to help hydrate the skin.

What about the fizz? That’s what I was most curious about. When you apply the mask, it starts to ‘fizz’ or oxygenate to aid in clearing pores and to facilitate blackhead extractions. And it works.

Blackheads be gone!

Okay, maybe not gone, but at least this mask keeps my skin clear and clean.

Ideally this mask should be used 2 – 3 times a week and only applied to the areas you need to target as it can be a tad drying.

How does it feel on your face, you ask? This is the most irritating product I have ever had on my skin. Even more than sheet masks! Oh my word, it takes all my strength not to scratch my face as those little popping bubbles tickle.  It’s excruciating. Haha! Thank goodness you only need to keep it on for 3 – 5 minutes.
