I can't really say my skin is all that fussy meaning it is okay most of the time but it will certainly show it's not happy if neglected.
Weekly treatment with deep cleansing mask seems to be the easiest solution to prevent the occasional skin tantrums, so I have gone through many tubes of wash-off type clay masks.
Boots Botanics Complexion Refining Clay Mask is the one that I bought most recently.
(I actually have this on as I am writing this review. ;p)
Boots Botanics Complexion Refining Clay Mask
I like Boots toners and cleansers so I figured they make good skincare basics like facial mask, plus it was on sale at the time.
I thought it was pretty affordable being under $10, but later on I realized it was a tiny 1.7 oz tube. Hmmm.
Boots Botanics Complexion Refining Clay Mask works to "draw out the deep-rooted impurities" with white clay and rosemary extract. On top of the clarifying action, it also works to reduce oil.
(Well, it sucks up everything, I guess.)
The ingredients are relatively simple but I feel the strong alcohol when I put on this mask. The alcohol is indeed on top of the list. It is not paraben-free, either.
On the other hand, this mask doesn't smell perfume-y although it is not fragrance-free.
Complexion Refining Clay Mask works rather fast.
Soon I see the usual dots on the oily area and I'm unable to speak or laugh cause the mask hardens up quickly.
(BTW, why do I always want to sing or eat as soon as I slap some mask on? It is a mystery to me.)
It washes away easily with washcloth and of course, leaves my skin very very clean, maybe a little too clean.
In fact, the deep cleansing effect is outstanding!
Now my skin is less oily so I feel maybe I need to use this only on my T-zone, but the squeaky clean feeling is a bit addictive thing, too.
Overall, I like this mask especially since I was breakout free during my last PMS and I suspect it was the mask's doing (but one can never know, so I suspect).
I do think this high alcohol content is something to avoid for some and it is maybe too drying even for me who can thoroughly benefit from masks of the kind.
I will probably repurchase but I am also curious about other deep cleansing masks from the brand.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few varieties that Boots offer.

It has the creamy yet thin consistency.
And it applies very evenly without clumping unlike some of the clay based masks.
