    Meh for me

    I tried out this product as I had a sample and didn't really see any big difference about it. It didn't really do anything for me and I got a pimple the next day after using this. A lot of people say it works for them so maybe my skin was just acting up that day. I have oily/combination skin fyi!

    Unfortunately burned my skin

    Even though I have dry skin my skin was feeling a bit clogged and oily lately so I put on this mask. Within 90 seconds my skin already began to heat up and burn. I took it off immediately and it left red marks on the top of my cheeks and around my mouth. Very strange as I don't have sensitive skin.

    Too expensive

    This mask is way too expensive, I don't know if it did anything for my skin. The mask feels refreshing when you apply it, I did not see any other effect that this mask had

    Did not see clear improvements with this mask.

    Did not dry out my skin too much but there were no visual improvements to note. Pores were not noticibly smaller or cleaner.

    Guaranteed to make your sink messy though.

    I was excited to try this mask but was not impressed. I did not see/feel much of a difference afterwards in terms of clearing my skin. I've had better clearing masks.

    I received a sample of this with one of my Sephora orders. The amount I received was enough to try out 1-2 times a week for three weeks, so I feel comfortable giving my opinion at this time.

    I have sensitive skin which is sometimes oily in my T-zone. I also have very large pores in my nose and cheeks with sebaceous filaments -- in other words, it always looks like I have blackheads even when I don't. I thought I would put this mask on in my trouble areas and see what it would do, if it would minimize the look of my sebaceous filaments and size of my pores at all. I have to say that it didn't do much.

    I initially really enjoyed the experience of wearing this mask because it was so thick and had a wonderful cooling sensation. When it dried, however, it got extremely tight, to the point where it was uncomfortable. I found that I was scraping really hard with a wet cloth to get it off, which in turn left my poor skin feeling very red and irritated.

    Because this did absolutely nothing for my pores and because it hurts my skin when it hardens, I have to say that this mask is not for me. These types of hardening masks are probably not a good idea for extremely sensitive skin in general.

    I've been using this product for the past 2 years and it's been doing a great job clearing out my pores. It's a very refreshing cool sensation when you first apply the product onto the skin, and it dries and hardens on the face within 30 mins. It dries very tightly - to the point where you cannot talk / sneeze without hurting your face. It takes a while to rinse off, but it definitely does a thorough job of cleaning out the pores. The first month or so of using this, I would always end up with a very red face, but now that my skin is improving (and perhaps since there is less gunk in my pores), my face is not as irritated when I finish.
