My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Pure Mint Clay Purifying Mask from Yves Rocher is primarily intended for combination to oily skin prone to blemishes, excess sebum, and enlarged pores. Its formula aims to purify, mattify, and tighten the skin's texture. My expert opinion is that this mask is part of a targeted skincare approach for acne-prone or congested skin, while respecting the skin's balance thanks to the combination of purifying and soothing active ingredients.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Kaolin and Bentonite These two natural clays absorb excess sebum, unclog pores, and remove impurities. Their mechanical action mattifies the skin without damaging it.
• Peppermint Leaf Water It provides an immediate feeling of freshness, while also having antibacterial and soothing properties, ideal for calming skin inflammation.
• Prebiotics (Fructooligosaccharides, Inulin) : They help maintain the balance of the skin microbiome, thereby strengthening the skin's protective barrier and limiting the proliferation of bacteria responsible for blemishes.

The presence of vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) and glycerin ensures good tolerance and limits dryness, which is an advantage for a purifying mask.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this mask once or twice a week to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. It is compatible with moisturizing or soothing skincare products (hyaluronic acid, panthenol), but I do not recommend combining it with other powerful exfoliants (AHA/BHA) on the same day to avoid irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This mask stands out for its purifying effectiveness, freshness, and respect for the skin's balance. Its creamy texture is pleasant and easy to rinse off. The only downside is the presence of fragrance, which can be irritating for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an excellent choice for purifying and mattifying the skin without drying it out.
