Pros:

Decreases poor size, good spot treatment, dries quickly, comes off easily, helps keep acne from increasing in size when used as a spot treatment, spreads easily, large amount in bottle

Cons:

Packaging (I have the tube)

I don't usually use masks but after using a bunch of different products I finally got my acne under control (by using aveeno products) and I have been trying to reduce some pores and heal some scars. I don't think the mask does anything for old scars (it doesn't claim to either) but I do use it about once a week (I leave it on for 10 minutes) and when I remove it, it makes my skin soft, I see a decrease in pore size right away, and my face feels cleaner overall. I also use it as a spot treatment when I feel a zit coming up and it usually doesn't allow it to peak (occasionally it doesn't work). I put it on every night over areas where I have larger, deeper pores (around my nose)... and keep it on overnight... I find that helps keep the pores that tend to get blackheads clearer. I would recommend this product (it is better the the proactive mask and much cheaper).

Pros:

Makes skin feel smoother and refreshed, reduces redness, makes skin less oily, drys quickly, smells good, affordable, lasts a long time.

Cons:

Drys out skin, burns a little when first applied, pretty messy, bad packaging.

I've heard great things about this product and finally decided to try it. I was a bit skeptical at first because it was soo cheap and the packaging wasn't all that great. I got the one that comes in a large jar. The first time I put it on, it felt really refreshing and made my skin tingle. It dried in like 5 minutes but I kept it on for half an hour. Once I washed it off, I did notice a slight difference. I continued using 2 times a week for a few months now and it didn't do much in clearing my skin. I have very mild acne so it drys my skin a lot. Overall I would say its an OK mask but the best one you can get for the price.

Pros:

Removes a few blackheads

Cons:

Blackheads come back immediately, left my face dry and didn't help breakouts

I really wanted to love this product but I didn't have any luck :( i still recommend it since so many people love it!

Pros:

DEFINITELY took away blackheads, n mine wouldnt go away with even those painful pore strips :(.

Cons:

i think it irritates my skin over time

i have rarely ever used chemicals on my face, thats why at first it worked well but then its been worsening bit by bit with redness (which ive never had) and i dont want my skin being dependent on chemicals either. it gets rid of my blackheads indefinitely, which i will use it for. but only for that. if you regularly use chemicals to wash your face, you will probably have a better effect.

Pros:

cleans out your pores, makes you skin feel tighter and a deep down clean! USE A wash cloth to really get all that gunk out

Cons:

Stinging for a bit and you better moisturize after removing the mask

will it completely clear your acne i doubt but its a great masque to use weekly and keep your pores clean

Pros:

NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS LIKE ALL THE OTHER ACNE PRODUCTS/ CHEAP AND EASY/ Dries up acne quickly/ smells good/ green is just a pretty color

Cons:

Burns when you put it on/
Have to wait 15 minutes and then wash it off

This product is great. I am strongly opposed to vivisection, and find it nearly impossible to get a good acne product that is not tested on animals. I've tried other products, and they just don't work. This product actually dries up my acne within a few days. I use the product a couple times a week on my whole face, but every day as a spot treatment on pimples. My pimples are gone in a couple of days. One of them disappeared after the first time Queen Helene was applied to it. BUY THIS PRODUCT AND YOU WON'T REGRET IT. Plus, you won't be supporting animal testing. It is so cheap, what do you have to lose?
