Take the skin testTarget congestion and uneven texture with Ameliorate Clarifying Face and Body Mask (100ml), a multitasking treatment for clearer, smoother-looking skin from head to toe. Formulated with lactic acid, white clay and the LaH6 Skin Hydration Complex, this mask draws out impurities while maintaining moisture balance. Niacinamide and nourishing oils team up to help soothe and condition, leaving skin looking refined, fresh and brighter.
Clarifying Face and Body Mask is a cushioning wash-off mask from Ameliorate. Its job is UV protection, with the rest of the formula working on hydration. The ingredient list runs to 49 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Glycerin and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
It is a mineral sunscreen, filtering with Titanium Dioxide. Between them those filters cover UVB and UVA II. They stop short of UVA I (340–400 nm), the deepest ageing wavelengths, so this is not a broad-spectrum filter system by the strictest reading. Every filter in the formula is photostable, so its protection does not fall away over the first hour in the sun — reapplication is still about sweat, water and rubbing rather than degradation.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Water and Stearic Acid.
Oil control: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Kaolin and Sulfur.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and no animal-derived ingredients. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top. It carries UV filters, so it belongs in your morning routine.

Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
Several ingredients here carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive or you have rosacea, introduce this slowly, or ask a dermatologist first.
Based on the curated benefits documented for this product's ingredients.
Attracts and locks in moisture to keep skin plump and dewy
Boosts collagen and cell turnover to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Brightens and balances complexion for a more uniform appearance
Calms redness, irritation, and inflammation for sensitive skin
Targets breakouts by reducing bacteria and unclogging pores
Regulates sebum production to reduce shine and greasiness
Tightens and refines the look of enlarged pores
None of the ingredients in this formula are associated with these benefits. This is not unusual, as most products are designed to target a limited number of concerns.
Mineral filter system · does not reach UVA I
Strong UVB and short-UVA protection, but it stops before UVA I — a mineral formula leaning on titanium dioxide alone needs zinc oxide beside it for deep UVA.

It filters UV with Titanium Dioxide (titanium dioxide).
Not in the strictest sense. Its filters stop short of UVA I (340–400 nm), the deepest ageing wavelengths.
Possibly. It filters with mineral UV filters, which sit on the surface and can leave a visible cast on deeper skin tones, especially at high SPF.
It contains none of the filters named in the Hawaii and Key West reef legislation (oxybenzone and octinoxate). "Reef safe" is not a regulated term, so treat that as a fact about the filter list rather than a certification.
Yes. Let it set for a couple of minutes before foundation so it does not pill, and reapply over makeup with a stick or powder rather than rubbing more in.
