Benefit The POREfessional Deep Retreat Clay Mask Mini 1 oz — Kaolin Clay, Oil‑Controlling & Soothing

Benefit The POREfessional Deep Retreat is a lightweight kaolin clay mask that visibly clears and mattifies pores while keeping skin comfortable during and after use.

This 1 oz / 30 ml mini offers a concentrated pore-clearing treatment that draws excess oil and impurities from skin without leaving a tight, stripped feel. Formulated with mineral-rich kaolin to absorb buildup, sea fennel to help control surface oil, and soothing botanicals such as bisabolol, jojoba and plum kernel oils, the mask is designed to refine the look of pores and leave skin feeling softer and balanced.

How does this mask reduce clogged pores?

The clay base acts like a magnet for impurities: as it sets it pulls oil, dead skin cells and debris from the pore surface. Visible dots often appear on the mask while it dries — a sign of drawn-out sebum and buildup — and rinsing reveals a cleaner pore appearance.

• Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil and lifts congestion from pores
• Sea fennel extract works to minimize surface oiliness
• Rinse-off formula removes trapped impurities for a refined texture

Will this leave my skin feeling tight or dry?

Benefit designed the formula to be comfortable during wear and gentle after rinsing. Soothing ingredients such as bisabolol plus nourishing jojoba and plum kernel oils help maintain softness and avoid the stripped sensation many clay masks cause.

• Bisabolol calms while you wear the mask
• Jojoba and plum kernel oils support skin’s natural moisture
• Non-drying, non-comedogenic formulation suitable for regular use

How should I use the mini Deep Retreat mask for best results?

Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin and leave it on until you notice the mask beginning to dry and show small dots, then rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice weekly or as needed on congested zones; patch-test if you have sensitive skin.

• Apply to T-zone or entire face after cleansing
• Leave on until drying dots appear, then rinse with lukewarm water
• Follow with toner and moisturizer to restore balance

What ingredients should I expect and why are they included?

The formulation balances oil-absorbing clays with gentling and conditioning botanicals to refine pores without compromising skin comfort. Each component has a targeted role for cleansing, oil control, or conditioning.

• Kaolin clay — absorbs oil and cleans pores
• Sea fennel extract — helps reduce excess surface oil
• Bisabolol — soothes during and after application
• Jojoba seed oil & plum kernel oil — replenish essential fatty acids for softness

Who is this for? The mini POREfessional Deep Retreat suits anyone seeking a gentle yet effective pore-refining clay mask: those with combination or oily skin looking to control shine and clear congestion, and people with normal or sensitive skin who want an occasional deep-clean without harsh drying. The travel-friendly 30 ml size is convenient for testing the formula, carrying on trips, or slipping into a skincare rotation for targeted treatments.
