Overview
A blue clay mask from The Outset for the face, combining kaolin and bentonite clays with salicylic acid and niacinamide, in a 1.7 fl oz size. It's fragrance-free, vegan and marketed as hydrating rather than a purely drying clay formula.
Clay masks typically pull moisture along with oil, but this one pairs the clay with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sunflower seed oil, plus salicylic acid for pore care, positioning it as a hybrid rather than a classic tightening clay mask. Charcoal powder is also listed among the ingredients alongside the named blue clay.
- Blue clay mask with kaolin and bentonite
- Salicylic acid and niacinamide included
- Fragrance-free and vegan formula
- 1.7 fl oz size
Who it's for
Suits anyone with blackheads or clogged pores who still wants a mask that doesn't leave skin feeling stripped afterward. Less suited to anyone sensitive to salicylic acid, since it's an active ingredient here rather than just a clay base.

Performance notes
Kaolin and bentonite clays draw out impurities while salicylic acid works at the pore level, and glycerin plus sunflower seed oil are included to offset the drying effect clay masks commonly cause, so the finish leans balanced rather than tightening.
