Benefit The POREfessional Deep Retreat Mini clay mask 1 oz — pore-clearing, mattifying travel size

Benefit The POREfessional Deep Retreat Mini is a 1 oz clay mask designed to draw out impurities and visibly refine pores while keeping skin comfortable.

Packaged as a convenient travel-size jar, this pore-clearing clay mask combines mineral-rich kaolin with botanical extracts and skin-softening oils to address excess surface oil and clogged pores without stripping. The formula shows visible points as it works, rinses clean, and leaves a mattified finish. It’s dermatologist-tested and formulated to be gentle for regular use.

How does this mask actually remove pore congestion?

The clay base attracts and absorbs excess oil and debris from the skin’s surface and inside pore openings. As the mask sets you can see tiny dots where impurities are pulled away, then they rinse off to reveal smoother-looking skin.

• Kaolin clay: lifts oil and surface buildup.
• Sea fennel extract: targets excess surface oil for a less shiny finish.
• Visible drying points: shows where oil is being drawn out.

Will it leave my skin dry or irritated?

Benefit balanced this mask with soothing and nourishing ingredients so it cleanses without over-stripping. Bisabolol and lightweight plant oils help maintain comfort during and after use, making it suitable for repeated applications.

• Bisabolol: calms and reduces tightness sensations.
• Jojoba seed and plum kernel oils: replenish essential fatty acids to keep skin soft.
• pH-respecting formula: supports skin barrier balance.

How quickly will I see a difference and how often can I use it?

Results such as reduced surface oil and the look of clearer pores are noticeable right after rinsing for many users. Frequency depends on skin type—once or twice weekly is typical for oily or combination skin, while sensitive or dry skin may prefer less frequent use.

• Immediate effects: mattified skin and cleaner-feeling pores post-rinse.
• Suggested routine: 1–2 times per week for oily/combination skin.
• Adjust as needed: reduce frequency if skin feels tight or irritated.

Does this product work for all skin types, including sensitive skin?

The formula is non-comedogenic and clinically tested to be gentle, making it suitable for a broad range of skin types. Those with highly reactive or very dry skin should patch-test first and monitor tolerance before regular use.

• Non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested for broad compatibility.
• Gentle surfactants and calming actives minimize irritation risk.
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive skin.

Who is this for: Benefit The POREfessional Deep Retreat Mini 1 oz is ideal for anyone wanting a compact, travel-ready clay mask that visibly tackles excess oil and clogged pores without harsh dryness. It suits people with oily, combination, or congestion-prone skin seeking a comfortable, easy-to-rinse treatment; those with sensitive or dry skin can use it cautiously and less frequently. The small size also makes it a good option for trying the formula before committing to a full-size jar.
