Category: Beauty > Face mask. Updated 2026-10-11. Based on 124 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Feb 2018 to Oct 2026.

**Question:** Which face mask is good for oily skin?

**Short answer:** Caudalie Pink Clay Mask has the best record for oily skin, with 13 of 13 shoppers saying it left their skin clean and less oily without stripping it. Benefit Deep Retreat Clay Mask follows at 9 of 10, then Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask and innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask at 11 of 13 each, though every group here is small. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have oily skin.

## Ranking (buyers who said whether it worked)

| Rank | Product | Clean, less oily | Share | Amazon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Caudalie Pink Clay Mask | 13 of 13 | 100% | yes |
| 2 | Benefit Deep Retreat Clay Mask | 9 of 10 | 90% | no |
| 3 | Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask | 11 of 13 | 85% | yes |
| 4 | innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask | 11 of 13 | 85% | yes |

Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% Wilson confidence interval, so a product needs a high share and enough reports to rank high. An Amazon link is shown only when at least 60% say it works.

## Questions

Caudalie Pink Clay Mask has the best record (13 of 13), followed by Benefit Deep Retreat Clay Mask (9 of 10). Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask and innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask are tied at 11 of 13 each.

**Which of these face masks are sold on Amazon?**

Caudalie Pink Clay Mask, Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask and innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask are sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and Caudalie Pink Clay Mask is both the leader and the best pick sold on Amazon. We found no official Amazon listing for Benefit Deep Retreat Clay Mask, so it has no buy link here.

**How many shoppers are behind each record?**

The second number in each record is the group size. It runs from 10 shoppers for Benefit Deep Retreat Clay Mask to 13 for each of the rest. The order builds in group size, so a record from a bigger group counts for more than the same share from a smaller one.

**Do these records test what is in each mask?**

These records are not a test of ingredients. The counts are what shoppers with oily skin said after using each mask, not a measure of how your skin will react, so follow the label directions on whichever one you pick.
