Pros:

It clears up my moderate acne quickly. I can find it easily at Family Dollar in this small town.

Cons:

It may sting if you have an open cut an apply it.

I usually get my face cut, so it can slightly burn at times when I put it on. I use it everyday for a little over a week, and my skin is acne free. It doesn't help scars though (it really isn't supposed to, but still).

Cheap & effective
Older than the hills but still works great. It won't clear up bad acne, but it will noticeably shrink large pores if kept on overnight and it smells and feels great. At such an inexpensive price point, it's a no-brainer. I'm trying to move to more natural products, not tested on animals, but this one is still a keeper.

Awesome
I starting using this mask because it was on sale for about $2 at walgreens. When you put it on it smells like spearmint gum. At first the mask burns/tingles and you want to take it off but after about a minute the mask tingle starts to feel amazing. I don't really have much acne, but I have very oily skin and this helps so much. I would not recommend this to someone who has normal to dry skin just because it pulls out all oils. I personally love this after a nice face wash.

If it's drying out your skin to much, don't let it dry completely before rinsing it off. If you let it dry completely, it pulls to much moisture from the skin..

Pros:

Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque offers twice the product at one fifth of the price of most other skin purifying masks on the market. And, while saving some major bank is always a plus, the real reason this little baby has reached Holy Grail status at the WallStreetBeautyBeat household is simple - it actually works! For someone like myself - combination, acne-prone skin with large pores and blackheads (so lovely) - this stuff is literally a miracle worker!

Cons:

After using this product, I'm left with skin that's thoroughly cleansed, refreshed and visibly improved. Blackheads are banished and pore size is temporarily reduced (score!) And, on top of all that, my face feels pleasantly tight. Temporary redness subsides after a few minutes. The only downside of this miracle product is that overuse can cause excessively dry skin (flaking, peeling, ugh - that's why I suggest you don't indulge every day).

I like to slather the thick, clay-like mask all over my freshly-washed face approximately 2-3 times per week. I tend to leave it on for 30-60 minutes, but I suggest you start with just 5-10 minutes in order to avoid irritating your skin. When the mask is completely dry I hop in the shower, rinse off the minty green goodness, and followup with my normal evening facial wash. As part of my weekly skincare routine, this Queen Helene mask has helped keep my skin pretty clear for the last four years. Added Bonus: Applying it as a spot treatment on a pimple speeds up the drying and healing process to have you looking zit-free and fabulous within mere days! Read more at [link removed]

Pros:

Smells minty
Keeps oily skin away
Clears up blackheads
Can be used as a spot treatment
Leaves skin feeling soft

Cons:

Can burn at first

This is one of the only products that works on my skin. My skin is very sensitive and has negative reactions with most products. I have one stubborn problem area that tends to get acne. I tried Epiduo which broke me out and left me with very red splotchy skin. This helps me keep the acne away. I also developed blackheads on my nose after using Epiduo and this has cleared it up. It may not work for everyone but it is definitely worth trying!

Pros:

Closes pores, leaves your face fresh & clean, cheap, doesn't dry skin, you'll LOVE it;)

Cons:

hmmm...burns a little when you first put it on in sensitive areas, but it goes away after 5 minutes.

Ok, well likee 3 months ago I bought this at the Dollar store which is where it's the cheapest. I had never seen it, & it looked good. & soo cheap hhaa :) so i got it. I used it & didn't see a big diff.& gave up on it. so the other day i was just roaming around & found really good reviews on it. So i decided to use it today, right now. I just washed it off. when you first apply it all over your face it burns. I only have acne in my chin & forehead. & blackheads on my nose. my chin burned & so did the sides of my nose. but it was gone after 5 minutes. it's reaally good, I like it. it feels nice on your face :D It doesn't dry out my skin (most masks do!) so i just rlly like it. it helped with my blackheads a bit too & INCREDIBLY shrinked my pores. I might post back after having used it for about 4 weeks. (it's once a week, if you use it more than that it will IRRITATE your skin!!) well good luck! (: Hope you use it because it's good & you have nothing to loose. <3 -Angelica

Pros:

It works fairly well

Cons:

I'm not really a fan of the spearmint smell...

Try it. It's cheap. It works. Oh and I don't know why people are saying the tube is hard to work. It's easy... if you have trouble with it I don't know what's wrong with you. Even when it gets near empty it's not hard. I've bought 3 tubes so far, I've had my first one for a while.. so four dollars for that is good. Then the other two were buy ne get one free, this stuff acn't get any more affordable. Anyway, it's not a miracle product but it's good to keep skin clean. I try it as a spot treatment too, better than nothing.

Pros:

Nice smell, great non gloopy consistency, helps clear up your acne, drys up excess oil.

Cons:

It can dry out your face if you don't use a moisturizer after washing it off.

This is definately worth a try. I've tried both prescibed treatments and over-the-counter treatments for my acne, but this has worked the best out of everything I've tried. The price is great and it smells amazing! I think this works really really well.
