Description

ZO Skin Health Complexion Clearing Masque is a sulfur- and clay-based mask (kaolin and bentonite) designed for oily and blemish-prone skin. It absorbs excess surface sebum, helps clear clogged pores, and can be applied directly to blemishes, while glycerin helps maintain skin hydration. Use in the evening, twice a week.

According to the manufacturer, Complexion Clearing Masque was featured by Who What Wear in its selection of the best sulfur-based skincare products.

ZO Skin Health Complexion Clearing Masque is part of the ZO Skin Health range designed for acne-prone skin. The mask helps clear pores and absorb excess sebum that can contribute to new blemishes, while hydrating the skin to help prevent dryness. Its formula is based on sulfur and two absorbent clays and is free from benzoyl peroxide. The product contains 85 g.

Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

The manufacturer highlights three key components of the formula:

Sulfur — Helps reduce excess surface sebum.
Kaolin and Bentonite — Absorb excess surface sebum and remove impurities, helping keep pores clear.
Glycerin — Helps keep the skin hydrated, soft, and supple.

Cleanses pores without leaving the skin feeling dry.

Clay and sulfur masks are commonly chosen for their oil-absorbing properties. In the ZO formula, the action of the clays is balanced by glycerin, which the manufacturer includes to help combat skin dryness. The result is a mask designed for oily skin that cleanses pores and reduces shine while taking skin comfort into account. If bothersome dryness or flaking occurs, the manufacturer recommends reducing application frequency to once a week.
