All the power to you.
Through and through, Youth To The People continue to pursue their mission to create innovative formulas and power a community through skin care. Today, I introduce to you and review their latest creation, the Superclay Purify + Clear Power Mask. A true diamond in the not-so-rough of their beautiful array of products, the Power Mask is one of the quickest performing products I’ve ever tried. From a powerhouse of ingredients to shockingly dramatic before and after results, this is the first clay mask to be supercharged with high-performance niacinamide to purify pores and improve skin clarity. I’ve been testing this for a few weeks now and I’m thrilled to be reviewing and sharing my stellar results of the mask with you on launch day.
Youth To The People is 100% vegan, sustainable and clean cruelty free made in California. Created for all genders, all skin types, all skin tones—all people—backed by three generations of skincare expertise. Skincare for All® — Read about Youth To The People here.

Product details:
The Superclay Purify + Clear Power Mask is the first clay mask to be supercharged with high-performance niacinamide to purify pores and improve skin clarity.
Instantly — Deep cleans pores, absorbs excess oil and gently exfoliates.
With continued use — Pores are less visible, clearer complexion, even skin tone and strengthens the skin barrier.
Product claims:
Purifies and tightens pores
Clears skin and complexion
Absorbs excess oils and mattifies
Dessey tip: Although this claims to mattify, I can confirm that it leaves the skin with a soft-to-touch, radiant finish, all things considered with it being a clay mask.
Texture and scent:
Texture — Creamy.
Scent — Fresh and clean like superfoods.
Both the texture and scent of the Power Mask are reminiscent to the Superfood Skin Reset Mask, which is now discontinued. (But hello, the upgrade here!)
How to use:
Apply an even layer to the skin and leave the mask on for 10 minutes. Rinse off the mask and pat dry, following up with your favourite moisturizer. YTTP recommends their Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream. Use the mask 1-3 times a week or as needed.
Key ingredients:
— French Green Clay (Kaolin Clay): Absorbs excess oil and extracts impurities from the skin without drying out active acne.
— White Clay (Kaolin Clay): Draws away excess oils while smoothing and softening the skin without stripping, drying or sensitizing the skin barrier.
— Volcanic Clay (Bentonite Clay): A mineral-rich clay that detoxifies the skin by removing environmental stressors, excess grime and congestion that leads to blemishes.
— Niacinamide (2%): Visibly tightens pores, promotes elasticity and improves skin clarity.
— Kombucha Black Tea: Contains potent peptides that’ll work as prebiotics to enhance the skin’s natural microbiome.
— BHA: An oil-soluble exfoliator that helps unclog and clear pores.
— Red Willow Bark: Soothes and calms the skin while helping reduce visible redness.
— Blue Algae: Rich in antioxidant vitamins and minerals to help get rid of environmental stressors and free radials.

My experience + thoughts
It was the instant results that did it for me. I mean… look.
To rewind, the Superfood Skin Reset Mask was my all time favourite face mask. When I found out it was discontinued to be upgraded to something more innovative, I hope I’d fall in love with it just as deeply. And to my not-surprise, I did. After just one use, I knew this was top shelf status for me. The Power Mask holds its own weight beautifully.
With a heavy amount of congestion with our face masks accompanied by environmental stressors, maskne is inevitable. Not only did the Power Mask instantly decongest my skin, (especially the cheeks and chin), but it helped soothe redness and calm down any active breakouts by “flattening” them without drying them down. What’s super cool is that you can SEE the mask working while it’s drying down on the more congested areas of the face. For a clay mask, I’m almost shocked at how soft and hydrated my skin feels after rinsing it off.
Quite frankly, the Power Mask is the quickest performing product I’ve ever tried. Not only do I just freaking love it for how rapid I see results, but I love that it’s an upgrade to my favourite OG Superfood Mask packed with tons of incredible ingredients. So, if you’re a Superfood lover like me, I know you’ll absolutely fall in love with this one too. I use the mask about twice a week while incorporating my other YTTP favourites within the routine. (The Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Oil after rinsing it off — trust me.)
The message of power manifesting within us translates so well not only with this launch but the company as a whole. Power to the people. Power to love. Power to you. Power to me.

Price: $36.00 USD / $47.00 CAD for 2.0 oz/ 60 mL
Please keep in mind that I’m in Canada which means I review my products with a Canadian price tag/conversion in mind.
Does a little go a long way? I mean, not really since you need to get an even layer on the entire face, but it spreads easily.
Would I repurchase? A million times over.
Do I think it’s worth $47.00 CAD? A mask with this innovative of a formula and rapid results? Absolutely, yes. It’s high quality and incomparable to other decongesting masks.
