Bentonite, found in Canada and the Midwest, is a colloidal aluminum silicate clay. It is used as a suspending agent in a variety of skin care formulas including lotions and makeup.

I have to admit that I have just been introduced to Kiehl's products. After having tried dozens of products from other brands and almost giving up on controling my horribly acne-prone skin I accidentally wandered over to the Kiehl's counter at Nordstrom. After having stopped using oral contraceptives and trying to get pregrant, my skin all of a sudden morphed into one giant permanent oil slick. for 7 weeks. I had been breaking out daily and my usually combination skin had become permanently oily, especially in the summer heat. Anyway, I stopped at the Kiehl's counter just to have a look at the various products. The salesperson was very helpful and friendly and told me she had heard of similar things happening to many women, and that it even happened to her. She recommended the Rare-Earth Oatmeal Milk cleanser and I also asked to try the Tea Tree Oil toner, having had some success in the past with pure tea tree oil. I took both home and tried them out. When I first used the cleanser, I didn't have high hopes because the formula was so gentle and milky, it just seemed much too mild to have any effect. Boy was I wrong! This deceptively mild cleanser really washed my face effectively, and it even made it feel squeaky-clean. Yet, I was amazed at how soft my skin was afterwards, like I had washed my face with pure cream. The most surprising thing of all was how effectively it actually clarified and seemed to diminish my existing acne. Despite the fact that the cleanser was so gentle and didn't irritate my skin, I actually could see it drying up and shrinking some of my blemishes before my eyes. Although the cleanser didn't dry or irritate my face overall, I could literally see it drying up nasty stubborn zits that just wouldn't go away. And this was before I even put the tea tree oil toner on. I am incredibly pleased so far and so surprised that this creamy milk cleanser could clean so effectively that it actually fights acne on the spot. I have hope now that I didn't have before, and I will continue to use the cleanser as well as the Tea Tree Oil toner, which is also working very well. Now that I've seen such good results in such a short period of time from two Kiehl's products, it makes me want to try more of them.
