REVIEW : Etude House Wonder Pore White Clay Clear
Sunday, January 05, 2014
Assalamualaikum and hello!
How often do you pamper your skin with mask? I am currently disciplining myself to incorporate mask session into my facial care routine since I have tonnes of masks to finish. Since I have oily skin, I do not only need to find sheet masks with properties that suit my skin, but I too have the privilege to try clay masks! I'd like to share with you my review on a wonderful clay mask I bought from Etude House, which is Wonder Pore White Clay Clear. Quite a mouthful name for a clay mask, I know :p But this stuff is good!
This product comes in a baby blue jar made of sturdy plastic. It contains 100g of products inside the jar. Instructions, introduction, functions, and ingredients are all written on the box in Korean and English language. As you can see in the picture below, they have the 7 functions of this clay mask on the jar as well, along with some other Korean writings on the other side of the jar.
They have been so thoughtful in including a spatula along with the clay mask. I love it coz we don't have to dip our fingers inside the product (unless you lost the spatula and don't have any others to be used). Plus point to Etude House for the concern towards cleanliness of product ;) God knows what nasty bacteria clings on our hands even after we washed it.
Consistency :
Thick cream, spreads easily like butter onto skin
Wear time :
It is written on the box that you should have it on for 15 to 20 minutes but I prefer to let it sit on my face till it dries completely. The period depends on the weather. If I wear it during the day or when the weather is hot, it dries in 20 minutes. But if I wear it at night or during wet,rainy days, it won't even dry completely after 30 minutes.
Recommended usage :
On the packaging, we are recommended to use it once or twice a week for maximum efficiency.
My experience :
As I mentioned above, it depends on the weather when I waited for the mask to dry. Applying on the skin has never been a problem as the clay mask has a thick cream consistency, I kinda enjoy spreading it onto my face, hehe! When the mask is on my skin, I felt a minty sensation, and it recedes when the mask dries completely. It gave me a tight feeling too when it dries.
Removal and after effect :
I used to remove it like the way we wash our face with cold water. There was no problem at all but I spent quite some time scrubbing it off my face. Now I am using a new method by wetting a face towel with warm water (took some effort to boil the water first since my house dont have water heater/hot shower) and wipe the mask off my face, it feels a lot better!
Upon complete removal, my skin felt very smooth, moisturized and refreshed. I can see that my pores get smaller too (not bluffing, it's really happening!). No tightness felt on my skin after removal, which is excellent for a clay mask's effect ^_^
Verdict :
4.5 over 5
Recommended for people with oily skin and large pores
That's all for now. Fyi I used this mask once a week or once in 2 weeks coz I got lots of other masks to be used >.< However, from today I'll start using it twice a week and there will be an update on my skin condition after, let's say, a month :) So stay tuned!

Looks really good! The texture seems quite interesting and I'd love to know how it works for your skin with regular use!
ReplyDeletethe texture is fun! if i were a little girl who gotta play with her sister's or mother's clay mask, i'll surely scoop the whole pot out XD thanks for visiting Arpita, will surely make an update later ;)
DeleteI love clay mask! this looks good!
ReplyDeletethis is my first clay mask i think, at least, in a huge jar. hehe :D
DeleteMask mmg bagus for your skin, guna twice a week guarantee tip top! ;)
ReplyDeletetengah mendisiplinkan diri ni, hehe! nak kulit flawless macam kak sabby jugak ;)
DeleteSounds fun~ tapi malas la nak pakai hahaha :P
ReplyDeletei was damn lazy too awal2 dulu, tapi sekarang kena paksa diri pakai. hehe
DeleteBerapa harga mask tu? Macam best je. Kita selalu pakai mask twice a week. Kita guna himalaya. Clay jugak. But sometimes bila dah bosan dengan himalaya, guna milk dengan cinnamon. Best best
ReplyDeletekita pernah try cinnamon tapi pedih muka so x berani nak try lagi sekali =_='' kawan baik kita masa sekolah dulu yg suruh pakai cinnamon, kulit dia paling gebu kita pernah jumpa (T_T) this one tak ingat la yang berapa harga dia, around 70 something i guess? kita beli masa ada promo buy 1 free 1 kat etude house :)
DeleteI see quite a lot of comments on the Wonder Pore series sia. one of it is the toner if im not mistaken. Clay mask :X not my favourite type coz i tak suka kering punya feeling XD
ReplyDeleteyeah the toner in a huge ass bottle. i wanna try but i was intimidated by the hugeness of it XD ala FurFer kulit lawa princess-like tak payah pakai clay mask dah, hehe
DeleteGreat review ! How much was it ? I would love to try it on my oily tzone.. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah ^_^ It was RM79.90 per tube.
DeleteNice blog ! I have only used the clay clear once because I was afraid it might have negative effect as my skin is sensitive + oily. My clay clear is only 10g because I got it from the Wonder Pore After Sun Special Set. Maybe I should worry less ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you Chiko ^_^ I have been using this clay mask for quite some time, they've done no harm onto my skin. if you have tried it before and it doesnt hurt, then you shouldnt worry as it is absolutely okay on your skin ^_^
DeleteYep, I love the cooling sensation, too. But had been used only once, tho. What I wanna know is can we use it everyday? Cos, since I have huge pores ( literally can see them when makeup is not applied), i wanna use it everyday for fast result. :B
ReplyDeleteSince it says use 2-3 times per week, I dare not say you can use it daily coz I myself never tried it. But I think, if I were to use it daily, maybe I'll just wear a thin mask. Try pairing it with the Wonderpore Freshner to get your pores smaller, but that too, takes time to work :) Good luck dear!
DeleteLoveee the pore minimizing effect! Might try this soon! hihihi.. Thanks for the review ^^

you're welcome dear, thanks for visiting too ^_^
DeleteDoes this also help with black heads?
ReplyDeletehi there, i don't really have a pressing issue on blackheads so i cant really say. however it does help in deep cleansing pores so i guess it will be okay :)
Deleteboleh beli on9 tak dekat etude house
ReplyDeletekalau nak beli online try tengok kat Hermo.my :)
DeleteY cuanto cuesta?
ReplyDelete$18 via amazon.com :)
DeleteApparently this product has been discontinued. =(
ReplyDeleteI love this product and the previous product as well. I would often use it before I pop my pimples, it's easier and doesnt give me the redness after use. Good for sensitive skin, especially the freshness it leaves after using it. Now it's just difficult to replace it :(
Thank you for commenting, I'll reply as soon as possible!
