Wonderful! I have used this once a week for about two months, and swear by it! Acne is instantly gone, pores are shrunken, and it's better than anything else I've tried! At $4 a bottle, it simply can't be beat! Have you ever heard that toothpaste will get rid of acne, but the "extra" things in it irritates your skin? Well, this is pretty much toothpaste, without the "extras". You feel a tingling wherever you put it, no matter how much you put on. It's green, thick, and it smells very minty. It almost feels like a spa visit! Go out and buy it right now!
I'm in the minority here on this Queen Helen Mint Julep Masque....oh well. I don't think the minty smell is nearly as nice as the St. Ives Firming Clay Mineral Masque and I find this one a lot more drying than the St. Ives one as well. I really prefer the St. Ives one over this one. This is one of the few clay masques I really did not like at all.
This mask does most of the things it advertises, like clearing up pimples and shrinking pores. It is pretty thick and a little hard to completely wash off. It also has a kind of strange smell that is kind of good but still weird. But It really dries out my skin so I can't use it often. Also I am kind of a sucker for a well designed product and I feel like this bottle is very easy to overlook and definitely needs a redesign.
I bought a big tub of this at Sally Beauty for about 6 dollars I think. It's a harder to find product, but when you do find it, stock up! It really helps to dry up any blemishes, shrink pores and I see a big improvement in the amount of oil on my face. It tends to tingle and sting a bit but it dries quickly which makes it great to use in a pinch when your skin is inflamed. It is quite drying but when used every so often and with moisturiser you should be fine. Definitely follow the instructions for this product- don't overdo it and don't leave it on too long. 10 minutes is perfect!
I'm so glad that i found this product when i visited my cousins in the states! i couldn't found in my town. This product is amazing. it dried all my acne fast and also give my skin soft! One thing that i don't it's the smell. Recommend to everyone!
I love this product and will definitely be repurchasing this!
My skin was just going crazy, I was breaking out along the jaw and even on my cheeks where I never get acne. I suspect is was due to a L'Oreal cleanser. I switched to Cetaphil and it helped calm my skin down a lot. I took a chance deciding to try this out but the benefits were instant after using the mask twice over the span of a week most of my acne was gone. I continue to use the mask twice and week and my face has never stayed this clear for this long. Usually I break out a bit during my period but for the past 2 months no major breakouts just a pimple here and there.

I purchased this mask for a dollar simply because I love the idea of a mask. I have normal/dry skin but my pores do need clearing from time to time. The feeling of this mask going on is very creamy and the dry down time is not too long as with some others I have tried. I love the tingling sensation it gives my face and when rinsed I find that my skin feels clean and not stripped of moisture.
I like to use this as a spot treatment because it contains sulfur. The sulfur is excellent for treating zits but I am afraid it might dry out my cheeks which are not as oily as the rest of my face. I also use it on my body when I get the random butt or back zit [try not to be too grossed out with my honesty ladies]. It feels AWESOME! The minty smell is fabulous and I love the tingling sensation you get as it dries. It takes around 20 minutes for a good thick coat to truly dry out. Wash it away with warm water other wise it can be slightly difficult to get off but any good mask is this way. I have not had any problems getting mine out of the tube and you can not beat the price [around $4 US]. I found it at my local Walgreens. The tub from Sally looks pretty good and seems to be a lot bigger but only a little bit more money. Once this tube runs out I will definitely get the tub. For my WHOLE face my favorite is a home made kaolin clay mask. I add 5 drops of tea tree oil, 7 drops lavender oil, 2 drops of camphor [menthol's essential oil cousin], 9 drops geranium rose oil & mash up hibiscus and lavender buds. It is the most amazing mask and is good for all skin types.
this is one of my very favorite mask and part of my skin regime .
mine comes in a big fat tube thats too hard to squeeze out when theres only a little bit of the product left. the product itself is thick and green like a clay mud type mask. its easy to spread around on your face and dries up after about 15 mins . it smells really minty !!
i use this twice a week . make sure you cleanse your face thoroughly before applying this so that its your impurities that the mask is pulling out, not the grime on your skin. this product actually controls that extra oil on your face ! really !! i can tell that my pores appear smaller as well . but but what i love the most about this is that it gets rid of the redness away from those annoying pimples that i get during my time of the month . it dries them right up and prevent it from getting any bigger .
when i do use this, i make sure to let whoever is at home know that i will putting on a facial mask and my face will be green . if i dont, i scare them and we burst into laughter . thats not good for a mask that dries up hard ! haha they probably will still laugh at you but ignore and proceed . its worth it !!! they dont know what theyre laughing at !!
i absolutely LOVE this mask but i do wish it was easier to find since sally's is pretty out of the way for me .
