What is Glacial clay?
Glacial clay is a nutrient compact sea silt formed millions of years ago by the convergence of glacier and ocean deposits. A series of analysis shows that it contains more than 60 natural minerals, marine actives, and micronutrients. Neogen uses glacial clay found in British Columbia, Canada which is becoming well recognized for its efficacy in skincare and wellness.
Why you’ll love it
We spent 8 hours to give you a complete & fair review of the Neogen Canadian Clay Pore Cleanser.
- Cleans pores, remove blackheads – A lot of reviewers noticed that their pores are significantly clean right after using this mask. They were surprised that it helped remove blackheads even in stubborn areas. Note though that some reviewers noticed an improvement right away while others experienced it after a few weeks of consistent use.
- Smoother & brighter skin tone – One of the observations that stood out for most testers is that their skin looks finer and smoother. Glacial clay is made up of finer particles that are remarkably effective in drawing out toxins and impurities. It also helps rejuvenate dull skin. Hence, giving you that thoroughly clean and “smoother skin texture” effect.
- Light exfoliation & make up removal – With its fine particles, this clay mask does not just clean out your pores but also helps with exfoliation and makeup removal. A heads up, this can only remove non-waterproof makeup. We still advise observing double cleansing if you are wearing makeup or sunscreen.
- Non-drying, zero redness – Most clay masks cause tightness & redness on your skin after a masking session. Thanks to the various herbs incorporated on this mask, it draws out toxins without dehydrating your skin. It’s not harsh and does not sting. A pro tip, even if your clay mask doesn’t dry out your skin, make sure to use a moisturizer right after.
- Cool bubbling effect – This one goes for all ASMR fans out there – this mask turns from clay to bubbles and gives you that popping and a sizzling sound. The bubbles are due to the Carbonic acid capsule, which shakes pores to help remove impurities and easily whisk them away. Now talk about a fun way of taking care of your skin!
- Easy to remove – This clay mask lathers up once you wash it off, making it easier to remove. Some have mentioned a soapy feeling, but it’s still easier to rinse off than most clay masks.
The negatives
- Inefficient container – Some reviewers mentioned that the added plastic cap and cotton shield are not enough to keep contents fully sealed. The bubbling and foaming effect are compromised once the product is exposed. It is yet to be determined whether the bubbling effect (or lack of it) has any bearing on the effectiveness of the product.
- Strong herbal scent – There are contrasting views regarding the scent of this mask. Some mentioned that they like the herbal scent while others have voiced out extreme disapproval. A few stated that the herbal scent does not go away even after rinsing.
Verdict
Is it effective? The Neogen Canadian Clay Pore Cleanser is an effective clay mask and works well in cleaning out pores of dirt, sebum, blackhead & impurities. A lot of testers have also found it’s bubbling effect to be enjoyable. Its distinct herbal scent though is not something that everyone favors.
Recommendation
- This mask can only remove non-waterproof makeup. Please observe double cleansing using an oil cleanser/balm when wearing makeup.
- Make sure to properly seal the product with the cotton pad & the plastic seal to avoid exposure and retain its foaming properties.
- Not for daily use. Use once or twice a week.
