Pros:

It feels really nice after using it. I love the mint smell.

Cons:

It is kinda hard to wash off. Also it has perfume in it which can make some people break out.

I would just recommend this to be more like a monthly thing for stress relief instead of a every night basis........

Pros:

*Reduces Pimple Size
*Reduces Oil
*Tightens skin
*Clears Blackheads
*No known ingredients that can cause acne

Cons:

*Dries Skin out
*Can make skin red or irritated
*Hard to wash off completely

I used this product about nine months ago, and I stopped using it because it made my skin irritated(I left it on too long). I started breaking out due to my period and stress. I decided to give this another try. Before I went to shower, I washed my face, then applied the mask. I let it on my face for about 15 minutes then washed it off in the shower. After I got out, I noticed my skin looked bright and more clearer. I then used my clinique toner and wiped my face down. The cottonball was really green, so make sure you wash it off completely! After, my toner dried, I used my oil-free moisterizer from clinique with BP. That made my skin feel super dry and irritated, so use a good lotion to help with dryness. Overall, I'd recommend it only use it once or twice a week. Anymore than that will cause dryness, which can lead to more acne. I got my mask at the dollar store, so its cheap! Try it out, for sensitive skin, like mine, only leave it on for about 10-15 mins. I'll continue to use this once weekly to see anymore improvement, I'll update on this!

Pros:

Cheap
Temporarily dries your skin and closes your pores

Cons:

Skin broke out more afterwards
Tightening of skin is temporary

I have used this product in several ways. I have tried the entire mask. I have also used this as an on-the-spot treatment. Although it does tighten the skin, close pores, and draw out impurities (my pimples would dry out faster) I found that MORE pimples would form underneath. So as soon as one was gone, another was already forming. I am still searching for something. I guess if you are looking for something short-term and you don't have severe acne, this MIGHT work for you.

Pros:

- cheap
- good for spot treatment

Cons:

- faint, weird smell (tolerable)
- drying

Not useful for whole face. It will just make everything worse. Overnight spot treatment is awesome. Leaves pimples smaller and helps bring up cyst type of acne. Does not do anything for blackheads and large pores.

Pros:

Smelled pretty nice
Nice cool feeling

Cons:

Did absolutely NOTHING for my acne/pimples or even blackheads.
Spot treatment? Not at all.

You either love it or you hate it. At least it's cheap, so if you want to try it, I'd say go ahead. It didn't do anything at all for my skin, and not talking about just acne-wise.

Pros:

- Cheap!
- Draws out impurities.
- Contains Kaolin and Bentonite clay, Zinc and Sulfur which are great acne-fighting ingredients.
- Product not tested on our furry friends :)

Cons:

- Initially the smell got to me. But now I kinda like the minty scent.
- Not available in Australia, so I had to order it online.

We use home-made clay masks with similar ingredients at beauty school, so it was great to find a packaged product so similar. Really helps draw out impurities. I also use it as an overnight spot treatment.

Pros:

-works great for oily skin
-tightens pores
-inexpensive
-smells minty
-reduces redness
-shrinks pimples overnight
-nice tingling sensation

Cons:

-if you sleep in it, it can crack in little pieces off of your face and into your bedding
-if bought in the tube, the product can dry and harden faster, I recommend buying it in the tub

Wearing the masque right now :) I have been using this product since I was 11 and now I am 23! My aunt used this masque all the time and she had oily-acne prone skin so I decided to give it a try. Being African-American, not only did I get acne, I got the dark spots from scaring and I had the large pores. I would wear this mask at night and I noticed the HUGE difference in the morning and other people comment that my skin looks great :) I have less breakouts which results in less dark spots and smaller pores! My friends noticed and now they all buy it too! My beauty bar is not complete without this masque!!!!

Pros:

makes face geel great.
has visibly reduced my acne in just 3 days.
smells nice.
very inexpensive.

Cons:

None

I have used this for about 4 days now. It has visibly reduced my acne tremendously. Before I started my current regimen, which is cetaphil and this, I had some huge pimples on my cheeks and chin, and now they are merely small bumps, which is a huge improvement. I am very happy that I found this. I found mine at a dollar store, and didnt expect much, but it is truly amazing and I will definantly keep using this.
