Description

5 Minutes to Renewal

For over forty years, Borghese has been the mud authority—working with mud, refining it, understanding it, mastering it. Not to overwhelm skin. But to reset it. This timeless, Italian mud mask defines the at-home spa ritual, infusing detoxification with deep nourishment and microbiome support for visibly renewed skin in just five minutes.

A blend of Avocado Oil and essential vitamins (E, C, A, D) deeply nourishes and restores hydration, improving tone and texture. To defend against premature aging, a Skin Vitality Booster and Radish Root Ferment promote a healthy microbiome, reinforcing the skin’s natural defenses against environmental aggressors and supporting long-term skin vitality. Powered by mineral-rich Bentonite Clay and an anti-stress adaptogen complex, including Chaga Mushroom, Rhodiola, and Siberian Ginseng, the formula works to gently remove dead skin cells, refine pores and rebalance stressed skin to reveal a glowing complexion.

What It Is

Fango, Italian for “mud.”

A five-minute mud mask for face and body, Advanced Fango Active Mud helps detoxify congested pores, hydrate dry skin, and restore smoothness to dull, uneven complexions. Since 1985, Borghese’s mineral-rich mud formula has delivered visible renewal with a soft, comfortable finish.

Why it works

The five-minute Fango experience begins with a refreshing cooling sensation and a light tingle as the active ingredients get to work. The formula does not dry, allowing mineral-rich clay to help draw out impurities, excess oil, and debris before barrier stripping can occur. As you rinse, the creamy mud gently exfoliates without drying, leaving skin hydrated, supple, and visibly replenished.

Mineral-Rich Bentonite Clay

Mineral-Rich Bentonite Clay

Drawn from volcanic earth and rich in magnesium, iron, calcium, and silica, bentonite clay is the foundation of Fango. It has a negative electrical charge that naturally attracts positively charged impurities like excess oil, heavy metals, environmental toxins, dirt, and dead skin. When it rinses away, so do they. The result is a temporary tightening effect that leaves pores looking smaller.

Plant-Based Anti-Stress Complex

Plant-Based Anti-Stress Complex

We selected four botanical adaptogens for their resilience under extreme conditions. Here they work together to build the same resilience in skin, diffuse discoloration, defend against environmental damage, and address visible signs of stress-related skin aging over time. Selaginella Pulvinata, known as the Resurrection Plant for its ability to survive near-total dehydration and revive, contributes deep hydration and cellular recovery support to the complex.

Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil

Too often, mud masks do not account for the moisture they remove while cleansing. Nourishing avocado oil solves that. Rich in oleic acid and vitamins E, C, A, and D, it shares the fatty acid profile of skin's own natural oils. This allows it to penetrate deeply and integrate with your barrier, reinforcing it from within and locking in hydration after the bentonite clay has done its work.

ATP and Radish Root Ferment

ATP and Radish Root Ferment

Two technologies support cellular renewal; together, they help brighten skin and build resilience. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule cells use to fuel their own repair. Here, it helps re-energize the skin metabolism that stress and time slow down. Radish Root Ferment delivers probiotic-like benefits to the skin microbiome, the ecosystem that strengthens the skin barrier, immunity, and defense. Meanwhile, collagen derivatives provide a surface layer of hydration for temporary plumping.

What everyone is asking

The Advanced Fango Active Mud Mask is a five-minute mask that detoxifies pores, defends against stress-related skin damage, and smooths uneven texture. It combines mineral-rich bentonite clay to draw out impurities and excess oil, botanical adaptogens to address the visible effects of environmental stress, avocado oil to deeply hydrate, and ATP to support cellular repair and renewal.

Reviews

Luxurious Product

"Great product — smells luxurious and left my skin soft and even. The texture is perfect. I've been using it once a week, and so far I'm liking the results. I have dry skin, so it requires a bit more hydration afterward, but during sweaty summer days, it's a great product for unclogging pores."

Fidan A. (5/5)

Life Changing Mask

"I get horrible hormonal acne around my time of the month and this mask has been an absolute game changer. I’ve been using it for about a year, and the results i’ve seen are incredible. I use it both all over my face and sometimes as a spot treatment mask on any big stubborn cystic pimples i feel brewing. I typically put it on before I go to sleep, making sure it dries completely before I lay down. When i wake up in the morning my hormonal acne has settled down significantly, lots of my blackheads are completely gone, and my redness has faded. It leaves my skin so smooth as well. My only note is that it is quite drying, but that’s expected for how long i leave it on and what the goal of the mask is. This mask is so perfect for when i’m having a flare up but have a big day the next day where i have to look my best."

Mildred (5/5)

I've been using this mud for 40 years!

"I love this mud! It is the absolute best for my oily skin. I was given a big jar back in the day (which it no longer offered I'm sad to say). After I used it once I was hooked. I love this product."

"I worked as an artist for Borghese and the 80s and 90s and department stores in Indiana. I probably sold thousands of this product. I am sorry to say I do not like the size of the jar and the one I just received had air pockets. Jar should be a little larger. I've used Borghese for many years. I still refer people to Fango!"

Q&A

After I cleansing my skin should I use a toner and mask booster before applying the Advanced Fango Active Mud Mask? Then after removing the mask do I need to use the moisture booster and then my moisturizer?
Thank you for asking! Yes, it is recommended to use a toner following skin cleansing to restore the skin’s PH balance and to condition the skin. You may apply the Effetto Immediato Spa Soothing Tonic to sooth and calm the skin and restore skin suppleness. Or you can use the Energia Daily Vitamin Toner to brighten, firm and clarify the skin. Then you can follow up with the Active Mask Booster before mask application. For dry skin types, you may apply a few drops of Mask Booster following your mask application with any Borghese serum to offer enhanced and boosted hydration.
Are there any fragrance/parfum in this product? If so, are they derived from essential oils?
Thank you for asking! The botanical spa scents in Borghese products are derived from natural sources and mixed with light fragrance. The percentage of fragrance used is very low to prevent skin sensitivity.
