The 4 products ranked here carry 13,535 reviews at Ulta and Sephora. We searched them for oiliness or tightness and read the newest matching reviews, up to 40 per product and store, posted between Feb 2018 and Oct 2026.
A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.
Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.
Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.
Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.
Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.
An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.
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.
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.
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.
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.
HiveTried earns a commission when you buy through the "See price & reviews on Amazon" buttons. It never changes the ranking: the order comes from buyer reports only, and a product gets an Amazon button only when buyers here say it works.
