Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque — Reddit Reviews
by Kiehl's
Updated October 17, 2026
Kaolin-bentonite clay mask temporarily tightens pores; pricey for a weekly ritual.
What the community says
A kaolin-and-bentonite mask for oily, congested skin, used weekly to make pores look tighter and clear surface buildup. Dry or rosacea-prone users may appreciate its gentleness, but the $60–$70 price makes frequent use sting.
What this means for you
What people love
- Weekly clay-mask staple for keeping pores clean
