The easy to rinse gel formula also contains willow-bark and glycerin to soothe and lightly-hydrate skin, leaving it smoother, clearer and more balanced.

The biggest difference between the Pore Clarifying Gel Mask and other Paula's Choice masks is the texture. It feels lighter on the skin and has a super-soft finish after drying. This is different from Skin Balancing Mask which has a thicker clay texture. The Pore Clarifying Charcoal Gel Mask has a unique combination of ingredients that allow for optimal oil absorption while leaving the skin feeling soft and soothed.
