• 10-minute clay mask
  • Kakadu plum + desert lime
  • Turmeric for glow
  • For dark spots, uneven tone

What it is

Gleamin's best-selling 10-minute clay mask, from a skincare brand built for skin prone to dark spots, with melanin-rich skin in mind. It pairs vitamin C-rich Australian fruit (Kakadu plum, desert lime, finger lime) with turmeric in a soft clay base that rinses off without leaving skin tight.

What it does

Lifts away excess oil and buildup in ten minutes so skin looks brighter and fresher. With regular use it helps dark spots and post-breakout marks look less noticeable over time. The included brush lets you paint it on evenly, full face, T-zone, or as a spot treatment.

Who it's for

Skin prone to dark spots, post-breakout marks, dullness, or visible pores. Suits normal, combination, and oily skin; dermatologist tested, but patch test first if you are sensitive.

How to use

How much: An even layer over the face (or just the T-zone), applied with the brush or fingertips. Start 1 to 2 times a week, building to 3 if your skin enjoys it.

1. After cleansing, apply an even layer to dry skin 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.
2. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, until it dries (no longer than 15).
3. Rinse with warm water and pat dry, then follow with your serum and moisturizer.

Where it fits: A weekly reset, after cleansing and before serum. Patch test first if your skin is sensitive.

About the brand

Gleamin

The vitamin C mask that went viral

Gleamin was started by New Zealand founder Jordan Smyth, who struggled with rosacea and spent two years perfecting a mask inspired by homemade turmeric-and-vitamin-C rituals. The result was their Vitamin C Clay Mask, blending Kakadu plum, desert lime, and turmeric: vegan, cruelty-free, dermatologist tested, and comfortable to wear instead of tight and cracky. Now based in Los Angeles, the brand has earned the trust of over a million customers.

We stock Gleamin because their clay mask actually brightens without that tight, cracked-face feeling, and the reviews speak for themselves.

Skincare questions, answered

Where does this go in my routine?

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then SPF in the morning. This product's How to use section above tells you its exact step.

When will I see results?

Give it 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use — that's one full skin cycle. Hydration shows up in days; tone and texture take weeks. If your skin reacts badly (stinging, new breakouts that don't settle within a week), stop using it.

I have sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?

Patch test first: a dab behind your ear or along your jawline, wait 24 hours. Fragrance-free formulas are the safest bet for reactive skin — check the highlights on this page.
