Pairs with
Ingredients that sit well beside bentonite in a routine.
Use apart
What we recommend keeping out of the same session as bentonite, and why.
AHAAvoid together
A bentonite mask draws out oil, and an AHA the same day can leave skin feeling stripped. Keep them to different days.
BHAAvoid together
A bentonite mask and BHA both clear out oil, so together they can leave skin tight. Save BHA for the days you skip the mask.
RetinolAvoid together
A bentonite mask leaves skin drier than usual, so give retinol the night off whenever you use one.
