In-depth Review

One of the first higher-end skincare companies that I invested in was Anthony Logistics For Men. They have a great product range, a very high customer satisfaction ratio, and a great business philosophy (i.e. supports prostate cancer research, uses natural ingredients, etc.).

The Deep Pore Cleansing Clay was probably my first purchase from Anthony Logistics and it has served me well for four years. The product comes in a short squeeze tube that contains a bright, rust-red liquid that is in an easy to spread consistency and has a light citrus smell. I use this 1 to 2 times a week and its effects are immediate to very short term (1 to 2 days). First, the mask instantly gives you smoother, softer skin right after you wash it off. Second, my pores, especially on my nose, are noticeably smaller and breakouts are reduced overnight. And third, oil on my face is drastically reduced for the following day or two.

The application of the clay is simple and may tingle (never stings) depending on how sensitive your skin is – it rarely tingles my skin. After 10 – 15 minutes I rinse it off and apply my moisturizer. One thing to keep in mind is that the bottles I have purchased in the last two years have been of a different consistency than that of my first two. Most notable is the runniness of the latter bottles that require some shaking to mix the ingredients before application – a minor setback.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Deep Pore Cleansing Clay and see myself buying this product in the near future. A bottle does last 4 to 5 months so it is a very affordable product at ~$20 CAD. My only complaint is that its effects are so short-term, an issue that all masks suffer from!
