Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Pore-Clearing Mask — Travel Size 1 fl oz, Bamboo Charcoal & Kaolin Clay

This compact 1 fl oz version of Origins' best-selling Clear Improvement mask brings deep-cleansing ingredients into a travel-ready container. Designed for normal, combination and oily skin types, the formula combines bamboo charcoal with kaolin clay to target pore congestion, surface oil and rough texture without harsh stripping. It’s vegan and convenient for occasional use or for maintaining a clearer complexion while on the go.

How does this mask work to clear pores?

The mask uses bamboo charcoal to attract and lift dirt, pollution particles and other debris from pores, while kaolin clay helps absorb excess sebum from the skin surface. Together they create a balancing action: charcoal acts like a magnet and clay provides oil control.

• Bamboo charcoal draws out deep-seated impurities.
• Kaolin clay absorbs oil and environmental particles.
• Gelled cream texture spreads easily for even coverage.
• Travel-sized tube for single or repeat use while away from home.

What results can I expect after using it?

Clinical testing on 30 women reported noteworthy improvements after a single application, measured by reductions in surface oil and visibly clearer pores. Results vary by individual skin type and condition, but many users notice smoother texture and a mattified look after use.

• Clinical testing showed substantial oil reduction after one use on tested subjects.
• Most testers observed improved skin texture and less visible pores.
• Visible changes are typically apparent immediately after the first treatment for many users.

How should I use the travel size for best effect?

Apply to clean, dry skin avoiding the eye area, leave on until the mask dries or for the time recommended on the package, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use 1–2 times per week or as needed to manage oiliness and congestion depending on your skin’s tolerance.

• Squeeze a thin, even layer over affected areas or the whole face.
• Leave on until mostly dry, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.
• Follow with your regular toner and moisturizer to restore balance.

Is this safe for sensitive or combination skin?

The formula is created for normal, combination and oily skin; those with sensitive skin may want to patch-test first. Because it contains absorbent clay and active charcoal, occasional use is usually well tolerated, but reduce frequency if irritation occurs.

• Vegan formulation without animal-derived ingredients.
• Recommended primarily for normal, combination and oily skin types.
• Patch-test on inner wrist or behind ear before first full-face use if skin is reactive.

Who is this for: This travel-size Clear Improvement mask is ideal for anyone who wants a portable, deep-cleansing treatment to tackle occasional breakouts, excess shine or clogged pores—especially travelers, gym-goers and people with combination to oily complexions who need on-the-go oil control and smoother-looking skin.
