For combination and oily skin, a creamy, non-drying clay formula—Clarins SOS Purifying Mask—removes impurities and visibly tightens pores in just 10 minutes while absorbing excess sebum and helping to mattify the complexion. Formulated to refresh and purify without stripping, it supports deep pore cleansing and leaves skin soft, breathable, and naturally radiant. The mask targets shine and helps balance combination skin by combining absorbent clays with gentle botanical extracts. Use as a targeted spot treatment or an all-over balancing face mask to refine texture, minimize the appearance of pores, and help prevent congestion for clearer-looking skin and reduce surface oil build-up daily.

How it works

Clarins SOS Purifying Mask acts as a purifying clay treatment that draws out impurities and excess oil from pores while maintaining skin’s natural moisture balance. Its absorbent, creamy texture helps remove surface sebum and debris for deep pore cleansing without drying the skin. The result is a mattified, clearer-looking complexion with softened texture and reduced visible shine.
