Pros:

-Inexpensive
-Removes excessive oil
-Softens skin
-Shrinks pores slightly
-Helps get rid of zits
-Leaves you feeling refreshed

Cons:

-Messy
-Can sting for a bit
-Can cause dry skin if not used carefully

I've used this for years, and it works well for me. Don't be discouraged if some zits look worse after initial usage, because that means it's doing what it's supposed to. Being clay based, the mask is supposed to draw oil and other impurities out of the pores. Sometimes a zit will look larger at first because the impurities were drawn closer to the surface, but not out of the skin completely - I've seen this before with spot on treatments designed to "dry up" zits. A repeat spot on treatment with this mask the next day will help to further draw the gunk of the problem zit, thus shrinking it. I recommend using this product as an addition to one's face washing regimen. It has worked well for me.

Pros:

Tighten and clears skin great smell and better price

Cons:

NONE at all!!

I LOVE this product!!! It does wonderful things to the tired look under my eyes, smoothes out the blemishes and leaves my face soft and clean.. I cant find it anywhere in Brooklyn it drives me nuts!!! next time I find it I'm buying about 5. I found a reasonable replacement made by Queen Helene, but I'd rather have the mint julep.

Pros:

This stuff is great. I have extremely sensitive skin and this helped a lot. It closed my pores and my blackheads on my nose faded immediately. I have used it twice now and its great. Way better than the egg mask if you ask me. Try some, you won't regret it.

Cons:

None.

This stuff does what it says it will and does not upset sensitive skin. Try it.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
I've been using this since I was a kid (probably before I actually needed it). I perspire a lot on my forehead and my nose and as a result my skin gets very oily in the T area of my face. I have horrible blackheads on my nose . I wouldn't say I have acne but sometimes I get some big angry pimples in these areas . In my cheek area however is very dry and I never get pimples at all. In the winter time this part of my face gets dry to the point of being flaky . This mint julep mask has the ability to remove the blackheads and the excess oil from my face without over drying the cheek areas. What's even better is that this mask is very affordable and you can find it practically anywhere. Any Wal-Mart, pharmacy, or dollar store carries it for just a few bucks. It's worth every penny

Best results!
My skin is extremely oily! Every day I have to wipe my face down from how oily my face gets. All my makeup has to have oil control ingredients (including my finishing spray and facial soaps.) When I break out and go out in public I get the "omg what is that on your face" reaction that makes me want to crawl in a hole. This facial mask is the only thing that helps (believe me I've tried several things.) It removes the excessive oil on my face and leaves this glowing effect to my skin. Therefore I no longer struggle with the extreme embarrassimg acne breakouts! You must try this!

Excellent face masque
I've been use this masque for years along with the scrub. It does wonders. After using it my skin feels refreshed and as soft as ever. I would recommend using it once or twice a week, not everyday. It does dry out any pimples you have which is a plus, but does not remove it completely. I would recommend using the Queen Helene Mint Julep Scrub before applying the Masque.

Best masque you can get for only a few bucks
For a while i was disappointed couldn't find this in drug stores, but was happy to see they still sell it at Sally Beauty Supply. I can't say this helps my acne tooo much, though i have seen some cysts minimize a bit after using it. It definitely pulls oil, is very calming and helps with redness.

Pulls the oil and impurities right out of your skin
I have very, very oily skin and perma-zits on my nose as well as lots of enlarged pores and blackheads all over my face and behind my ears. This mask feels so great as it's drying. Once it's dry I can see spots of oil where each pore is. It actually pulls the oil out of my skin. And, if I do the old squeezeroo on my nose, all the impurities come out so easily. After I use this my skin is smoother and has fewer blackheads and pimples for several days. I really need to start using it about twice a week. My skin is even less oily for a day or two after use. I highly recommend this to anyone with acne.

The best thing I've ever used! (:

Pros:

clears acne
clears pores
shrinks pores

I love this so much, I've been using it for less than a week, and I apply it on some acne I have during the night and when I wake up it's literally gone, and I struggle with LARGE pores and this has made them a bit smaller not too much of a difference but good enough for the price (:
