I have been using it about twice so far. I am very surprise with it's texture as a clay mask. It was more of 'watery sand' type compare to the normal 'clay' type. It doesn't really dry out even after 15mins. I had a messy start with this as the mask doesn't really stick onto my face when I apply it and it glides down fast. I doesn't feel tightening after this and yes it does its' hydrating part well. I'm still looking forward on my pores' result!
