Pink is simply a mix of white and red and has their combined benefits. At the core of it, the minerals within the clay are behind the effects you experience when masking up.
When wet, the molecules in the clay swell and binds to water, sebum, and impurities in your skin. As the mask dries, the likes of water and oil are drawn out of your skin and absorbed by the clay , which is what gets rid of all of your excess sebum. In some cases, this effect can make your pores temporarily shrink.
In addition, with water and oil, the clay draws the impurities and dead skin cells towards the surface, which is why your skin may break out after use. No need to stress, though—these breakouts will subside as long as you treat your skin accordingly. First things first, you'll want to exfoliate before applying a clay mask to reap the maximum benefits. Using a chemical or enzyme exfoliant, or non-abrasive physical exfoliant to gently remove dry flakes and dead skin cells will allow the mask to work more efficiently.
