Review | Tropic Radiance Clay Mask

Today I have a review of my latest Tropic Skincare discovery to share with you all. This saviour featured in my April Monthly Favourites and it is the Tropic Radiance Clay Mask; my current go-to product for calming down my problematic skin. Like all Tropic skincare, this mask is made from 100% natural plant extracts, is vegan, cruelty free and is ideal for anyone battling with combination, oily and acne prone skin.


An aspect that initially sets this mask aside from other brands is the packaging. Rather than being encased inside the usual annoying tube in which half of the product is left abandoned and unreachable at the bottom; these masks are packaged inside a round, sturdy glass pot that is not only practical but also a lovely addition to your bathroom counter.


It also doesn't disappoint in terms of formulation and results. It will help to tighten and unclog pores for a clear and radiant complexion. As well as drawing out impurities, it also acts as a gentle exfoliator meaning that my face is left feeling smooth and it is the perfect solution for dull, congested skin. Among the hero ingredients that the effectiveness of this mask can be attributed to is olive leaf; the active ingredient in fighting blemishes, willow bark; which naturally contains salicylic acid, guarana seed; to exfoliate and green clay; which draws out impurities. 

To apply I use the wooden spatula that accompanies the mask and spread a thin layer over my face. It initially applies as a dark green, then within 5-10 minutes the mask hardens to become a pale, mint colour. At first you feel a slight tingling sensation as the masks dries and the tea tree oil sets about decongesting your pores. 


When I wash the mask off I use warm water to gently massage my skin. As you add water, the mask reverts back to a dark green and transforms into a rich, creamy exfoliator. After exfoliating I wash the mask off and I am left with a soft, radiant and decongested complexion.

I love this mask and find that it is the perfect match for my skin type. However, if you are someone with normal to dry skin, this mask could be a little too harsh. I would suggest only applying it to the areas where you are suffering with breakouts or to try out the Tropic Warming Mineral Mask; perfect for anyone with dry or sensitive skin. 

I hope you enjoyed this skincare post and I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below as well as the face masks that you swear by. If you wish to learn more about Tropic skincare then you can read my previous post reviewing they basic ABC Skincare Line
