Mask Review: Compliment Banana and Guava Face Mask

'Ello folksickles. Today's review will be for the Compliment Clay Face Mask in Banana and Guava

Availability: I can't seem to find a retailer online for this, but I bought it at my local Russian-speaking pharmacy for $5.99 for 80 ml.

Would I buy this again? Yes.

What is this product? What is it supposed to do?

According to the packaging (note: I edited my translation for enhanced grammar):

Restorative mask for the face: enriched with natural yellow clay, banana and guava extract. Assists in preserving the health of the skin while simultaneously gently removing dead skin cells.

Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?

Kaolin Clay: Has oil-absorbing, exfoliating, anti-inflammatory properties. It helps the skin retain its hydration and is gentle on the skin. 

Illite (Yellow Clay): Has oil-absorbing and antibacterial properties. 

Sweet Almond Oil: Has hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.

Banana Fruit Extract: Has hydrating, exfoliating, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It also contains Vitamins A (helps skin cell turnover), Vitamin E (has antioxidant properties), and Vitamin C (brightens, lightens, and tightens the skin) and can help prevent sun damage. 

Guava Fruit Extract: Is also rich in Vitamin C; has hydrating, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory properties and helps regulate sebum production. 

What is the texture like?

I would describe this mask's texture as being a soft clay mask, it does dry out a bit but it doesn't set to that very tight, somewhat dehydrating sensation that traditional clay masks tend to have. 

Is this scented?

I would describe this scent as being a creamy, banana-forward scent that's reminiscent of mashed bananas or banana pudding. 

What has my experience with the product been like?

Personally, as someone with dry skin that can be sensitive or get inflamed easily but who also struggles with sebaceous filaments that aren't super prominent but bother me, this mask sounded very much up my alley. I was shocked when I washed this off and my skin felt soft and hydrated because I never have that sensation with clay masks. Even ones that don't dry down to a tight, dry feel, will leave my face feeling maybe deep-cleansed and a bit stripped but never outright hydrated. I really enjoy using this mask and I feel like it leaves my skin feeling soft and supple while also deep cleansed, a win/win in my book. 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Disclaimer: I purchased this myself.
