[Routine Help] Do clays really help "absorb" and eliminate oil from pores? Or is it just pseudoscience?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've seen clay mentioned here and elsewhere, but I have to say, it's not as often as others. For instance, when reading how to unclog pores, I mostly see BHAs mentioned.Don't get me wrong; my go-to to unclog my pores is salicylic acid, but I was wanting to know if clay was a weapon that I should be adding to my arsenal, one that could make a big difference.I know that YMMV, but, generally speaking, am I severely missing out by not using clay, or is it just something that will further dry out my skin and not do me any good?For what it's worth, my skin type is oily.
