This is a simple, clay mask with kaolin as first ingredient, but it works nice on my skin to keep it clean. I don't know if it dries as it is only supposed to be kept on for 3 minutes and beware! if you leave it longer it begins to sting, so sensitive skins should probably stay away. It comes in Cucumber and fragrance-free formulas, I've got the latter. I think it is better than most masks I've used.
