Adovia Purifying Mud Mask

I have oily, acne-prone skin so a nice mud mask is in my weekly routine.  This mud mask was created using mud from the Deep Sea, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin C.  The packaging is a simple squeeze-tube and the formula is quite thick.  You get a lot of product, 5.1 oz to be exact.

The bottle says to apply a thin layer onto the face and let sit for 10-20 minutes.  As it dries it draws out the oils, impurities, and toxins that can be causing clogged pores.  I found it quite difficult to spread an even thin layer.  It seemed to move entirely instead of spread thinner.  In the future I plan on using a thicker layer and swipe it on area by area instead of laying down a dollop and spreading around.

I applied this mask after cleansing my skin. The texture of the mask itself is somewhat gritty, like fine sand, but not abrasive.  I noticed that it felt cool, calming/soothing immediately.  My face did not get tight like it does with most mud masks.  I feel that it actually stayed quite moisturized throughout the entire 20 minutes I kept it on.  

I used a warm, wet washcloth and gently removed it from my face.  It washed off extremely easily with no pulling or tugging at my skin. Immediately afterwards I used my toner and then applied a serum.  While I was doing those two steps I noticed that the products felt like they were absorbing more quickly, as if my skin was receiving the benefits of the toner and serum more thoroughly.  I also noticed that my pores around my nose and mouth looked substantially more clear.  Upon waking up the next day my skin felt smooth and my pores looked smaller.  

Here is the list of all the ingredients:
