Aveda Deep Cleansing Clay Masque 4.2 fl oz – Clarifying Clay Treatment with Kaolin & Bentonite

Aveda Botanical Kinetics Deep Cleansing Clay Masque is a cooling, plant-powered clay treatment that clarifies skin by absorbing excess oil and drawing out impurities.

Designed for all skin types with a focus on oily and combination skin, this masque blends English kaolin and bentonite clays with 91% naturally derived* ingredients to refine texture and leave skin feeling conditioned. The formula is dermatologist-tested and free from silicones, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, parabens, and other common synthetic additives, making it a straightforward clarifying step in a modern skincare routine.

How does this masque reduce oiliness without over-drying?

The dual-clay combination targets surface oil and sebum without stripping skin’s natural moisture barrier. Bentonite helps lift impurities while kaolin gently absorbs excess oil, leaving skin matte but not tight.

• English kaolin clay balances oil without harsh stripping
• Bentonite absorbs and helps remove trapped debris
• Conditioning botanicals preserve skin comfort

How do I use it in my weekly routine?

Apply to clean skin as an occasional treatment—typically once or twice weekly depending on oiliness. Leave on for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and follow with a lightweight moisturizer.

• Use on face, neck, and décolleté after cleansing
• Keep application thick and even; rinse before fully dry
• Adjust frequency to skin’s tolerance and seasonal needs

What skin concerns will I notice improving?

Regular use helps refine skin texture, reduce surface shine, and clarify pores by clearing excess oil and surface impurities. Results are cleaner-feeling skin and a more even-looking complexion without harsh irritation.

• Reduced visible oil and surface shine
• Smoother texture and refined pores
• Comfortable, conditioned finish rather than tightness

Is the formula clean and ethically made?

The masque is formulated with 91% naturally derived* ingredients and excludes animal-derived components, silicones, mineral oil, SLS/SLES, synthetic fragrance, parabens, phthalates, and petrolatum. Aveda is vegan, a Certified B Corp, and Leaping Bunny approved.

• 91% naturally derived* ingredients
• Free from many common synthetic additives
• Vegan and cruelty-free credentials

Who is this for: Ideal for people with oily, combination, or congested skin who want a clarifying treatment that’s plant-forward and dermatologist-tested. It also suits those seeking a weekly detoxifying masque that minimizes irritation and avoids common synthetic ingredients. Not recommended for people with clay sensitivities—patch-test if you have very reactive skin.
