Pros:

-makes skin smooth all day
-feels great , smells great
-cleared up all blackheaads and pimples

Cons:

-um.. none!

i saw some other reviews said that it didnt clear up their pimples , only blackheads , but for me it cleared up both! and its not something you have to do for weeks until it actually starts working. the first time i used it i was amazed. its reallllly cheap and i have it in the jar, its much better than the tube. i saw some people were having trouble finding it, but they have it AT SALLY BEAUTY! look there they have alot of great masques. also, it feels amazing if you rinse with cool water, just saying (:

Pros:

Sucks up the oils from my face

Cons:

Hard to wash off

It really sucks up the oils from my face, which is good for my oily T-zone. Also, this stuff seems to draw out the blackheads from my skin; I could see the blackheads coming out of my nose after I use this. It's sort of hard to wash off, and I always manage to get some in my eyes after I try to wash it off (the green stuff ends up in my tear duct... so I have to wash that out as well). I found that using a small amount of exfoliater helps when washing the mask off.

Pros:

Works great, smells okay, cheap, skin feels soft & clean after use

Cons:

It's kinda hard to get out of the tube

I've tried everything- proactiv, clean & clear, neutrogena, acne free/acne free severe, biore, every spot treatmeant.. nothing worked, so I was a little skeptical to use this at first, but I was surprised when I used it for the first time & I could already tell a difference in my skin! This stuff is amazing. I will definately keep using it!!

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).

Pros:

It really work! Don't apply all over your face because it to dry! Just put the mask on the spot of acne or pimple. Just spot treatment and leave it oer night. Tomorrow my pimple complete disappear or it fade alot.

Cons:

It just dry. I never put all over my face. I just put it on the spot of acne.

This product really work, remember just put this mask on the pimple only and leave it overnight. When you wake up tomorrow the pimple going to disappear for sure. If it not disappear just do it again for the second day! If your pimple not disappear in one day just do it again, but your pimple will be much better condition.

Pros:

It's cheap, and I like the smell!

Cons:

I broke out badly - cystic acne, which I haven't experienced in years. It did, however, dry out some whiteheads and allow me to gently clear them manually.

It seems to really work for some people, and I really wanted it to work for me, but it didn't. My skin hasn't looked this bad since I was 18 (four years ago).

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..

Love it
This face mask makes your skin soft and smooth. It helps unclog pores and it has a good smell! I would recommend to anyone with sensitive skin who wants a good, refreshing facial mask. Just make sure to moisturize after using.

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]
