Pros:

You're skin feels tight
You're pores become smaller
Acne begins to dissapear after a few days (for me)
Skin feels refreshed

Cons:

Nothing

I've had acne for so many years, and this is the only thing that's ever really helped. To so many people, this is just a product, but for me it's a life-saver :D And unlike many other acne cleansers, its cheap. I'm no longer embarassed because I have acne, because it has dissapeared.

Pros:

♦skin feels tighter
♦skin feels cleaner
♦good every-week mask
♦comes in a convenient tube
♦good for sensitive skin

Cons:

♦does not do anything drastic to improve your skin

This mask is a really good mask if your on a budget and you want to use a mask every week to keep your skin looking well. It has this tingly cool feeling on the skin that comes from the mint that can feel very soothing. I've also noticed that afterwards my skin feels tighter (which is my favorite thing about this mask). However, if you are someone who is trying to improve your skin conditions quickly and very drastically, i would not recommend this. It does not do anything for my acne scars (it may over time). Overall, this is something i would repurchase because for the money and quality, it is a great product.

Pros:

It really does shrink pores, dries up visible acne, and leaves skin feeling cool and refreshed. Perfect on a hot summer day, and great for scaring boyfriends and small children.

Cons:

Scares boyfriends and small children. The process of wiping it off with a washcloth, as recommended, can irritate sensitive skin.

I tend to get breakouts caused by hormones around my mouth and generally the lower half of my face. I've tried all kinds of special cleansers in the past, but I've found that using this mask twice a week in conjunction with noncomedogenic (spelling?) face wash, moisturizer, and make-up keeps me as clear as I'm seemingly ever going to get. Break-outs last less time and leave less visible scars with my current routine. I am going to try what someone else suggested and hit the shower to rinse off the mask afterward instead of using the washcloth. Thanks for the heads-up that it will dry skin out if used too much; I was considering moving to 3-4 times a week. By the way, the CVS brand of this product works just as well, but it's much thinner and takes a couple coats. (My pharmacy is often out of the real thing.)

Pros:

- Clears my face.
- Leaves my skin clean.
- Smells SO good.
- Cheap.

Cons:

- It's messy.

I have been using this product for about 2 months now and I can totally see a difference. This is really cheap, but effective. I recommend this to anyone who has breakouts or acne. This product will change your life. I have noticed my pores shrinking and my blackheads are gone and I have CLEARER skin :) Yay!

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:

Fun, classic green face mask
Skin feels smooth afterward
Doesn't dry me out

Cons:

No benefit for acne

A fine mask for fun, but didn't clear up my acne. Doesn't worsen it, either, thank goodness. Never used it regularly, just once every couple of weeks.

Pros:

Smells great
Immediately saw results
So fun to put on!
Good for sensitive skin
leaves your skin super soft

Cons:

None :)

I just took this off about 10 minutes ago and immediately I noticed my skin didn't look as red as it normally does! My skin is so soft!!! I have very sensitive skin and this left my skin just a little bit dry (But not as much as other products I have used) and i have a great lotion to not the dryness!

Pros:

This product smelt minty and fresh, it was very inexpensive for about 3.50 at Ulta. I saw results after the first use my skin was soft and clean and it shrunk my pores dramatically. It was a great alternative to a more expensive product.

Cons:

Almost none, it took about 15 minutes to completly dry.

This is an amazing must have product to any girls make up bag. It didn't irratate my sensitive skin. MUST TRY!!!!
