About this product

The Vitamin C Clay Mask is the product that built Gleamin. It started with a simple idea: people loved mixing turmeric and vitamin C-rich fruit into homemade masks, so we set out to make that ritual work properly. The first concept came in 2017, the mask launched in 2019, and it has won two "Best Mask" awards since.

  • Why people love it

    Most clay masks do one job: soak up oil. This one is built to brighten as well as refresh. Kaolin and hydroclay lift away oil and buildup, while Kakadu plum, desert lime and turmeric help skin look brighter and more even. Aloe vera keeps it comfortable, so skin feels soft when you rinse, not tight.

  • What to expect

    • Right after rinsing: skin looks fresher and more radiant, and pores look refined.
    • Over 8 to 12 weeks of regular use: a brighter, more even-looking tone, with dark spots looking less noticeable. Results build gradually and vary from person to person.

    Many people also use it on the chest, back and underarms. Read more in Inside Our Vitamin C Clay Mask, or see how it fits into a simple brightening routine.

  • Sizes

    The standard 2.5 fl oz (75 mL) jar comes with an application brush and gives around 20 full-face uses. For regulars, there's a 5 fl oz (150 mL) jumbo jar with the same formula. Both are sold in our Amazon store.

  • Made with care

    Our vitamin C blend of Kakadu plum and desert lime comes from Australia, where the mask was first made. The mask is dermatologist tested: a repeat insult patch test on 52 adults found no irritation or allergic reactions. If your skin is sensitive, patch test on your inner arm first. Questions? See our clay mask FAQs.

How to use

  1. Start with clean, dry skin.

  2. Apply an even layer with the brush or your fingertips, avoiding the eyes and lips. Use it on the whole face, just the T-zone, or on the spots you want to focus on.

  3. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, until it dries (no longer than 15).

  4. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

  5. Follow with your serum and moisturizer. Start with 1 to 2 times a week and build up to 3 if your skin enjoys it.

Who it's for

  • Skin prone to dark spots and dark marks left after breakouts
  • Dull or uneven-looking skin
  • Normal, combination and oily skin, and visible pores
  • Anyone who wants a quick, once-or-twice-a-week reset

Questions about this product

How long do I leave the Vitamin C Clay Mask on?

About 10 minutes. Rinse it off before it dries completely and cracks, and don't leave it on for more than 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

How often should I use the Vitamin C Clay Mask?

Start with once or twice a week. Oily skin often enjoys up to three times a week; dry or sensitive skin is happiest with once. Using it every day isn't needed and can leave skin dry or irritated. Leave it on for 10 minutes, rinse with warm water and follow with serum and moisturizer.

More in Inside our Vitamin C Clay Mask.

Will the turmeric in the Vitamin C Clay Mask stain my skin?

It shouldn't: the mask is a bright turmeric yellow, but it's made to rinse off clean with warm water. Rinse well around the hairline and brows, and use a dark or dedicated towel just in case.

Does the Vitamin C Clay Mask help with dark spots?

Used regularly, the mask helps skin look brighter and more even, so dark spots look less noticeable over time. Most people see a gradual change over 8 to 12 weeks, and results vary. Daily sunscreen makes a big difference too.

For stubborn or spreading dark patches, talk to a dermatologist, who can check the cause and discuss prescription options.

Is the Vitamin C Clay Mask OK for sensitive skin?

It's dermatologist tested and made to be gentle: it was patch tested on 52 adults under a consulting dermatologist's supervision, with no irritation or allergic reactions observed. Everyone's skin is different, so patch test on your inner arm first, start once a week and skip it on broken or irritated skin.

*Repeat insult patch test, Princeton Consumer Research, 2023.

Where can I buy the Gleamin Vitamin C Clay Mask?

Right now Gleamin sells only on Amazon. You'll find the 2.5 fl oz jar and the 5 fl oz jumbo jar in our Amazon store.

    Vitamin C Clay Mask

  • Glory for my sensitive skin

    it has helped to clear my skin of acne scars, prevent breakouts, and get rid of new acne bumps. It’s also great for sensitive skin, I haven’t had any negative reaction to it even when I first started using it and was adjusting to the formula. It’s very efficient and works fast. And even the customer support is very efficient, kind, and responds fast.
