Pros:

Reduces redness and pimple size. You can see where it's sucking the oil out of your pores when its dry.

Cons:

I think your skin might become immune to it if you use it a lot, but that can be with any product.

I love this product. It's one of the few store bought skincare products I use, since I use mostly natural, home remedies. It's definitely a holy grail item. I remember the first time I used it, which was a few years ago, the next morning my skin looked so much brighter and my scars went down so much. I still get fantastic results but my acne is a lot worse now then it was then, so it's hard to see a large improvement. Even though my acne is worse, if I have a bad breakout I use this and it helps so much. I definitely recommend this product.

Pros:

dries out pimples
it tightens the skin
after applying face is really smooth

Cons:

it dries out your skin,especially on the pimples that have been astracted

This is the best product I have used yet. Ive tried proactiv,and marykay and it didnt work to my liking.If you have dry skin I would not suggest.And if you have severe acne you really need patients or a dermatologist I use it at night also for a spot treatment and thats the best cause when I wake up either its gone or its alot smaller the pimples that is

Pros:

dries up pimples, better skin tone, greatly reduces oil, tightens pores

Cons:

smells strong, a bit of stinging

I love this stuff, I have been using it forever. It is not a miracle cure that will make your pimples dissappear. It does however in my case greatly reduce the redness and size of my pimples and makes my extremely oily face significantly less so. what I've learned to make it work the best, is to use it immediately after washing my face, and I only put it on problem areas and do NOT leave it on longer than the directions say! 15 min does the trick! over all its very cheap, available at all the walgreens in my area and quite effective. I have moderate acne and extremely oily skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin I do not reccomend.

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.

Do not recommend
One of the products that caused my breakouts was this masque. Before using this masque i had some tiny bumps before but nothing too serious, i went to walmart thinking this would help. Little did i know a few days later after i used this product i started breaking out. My bumps got red and worser i even started getting bumps on my jawline and forehead which i hardly ever got some. I already knew my skin was going to react horribly to it but i wanted to give it so many chances even though i hated the itchy and stinging feeling i would get everytime. I thought i would get over it till my skin couldnt handle it anymore.

Pros:

smells great,
dries out oily pores,
smooth fresh skin

Cons:

may tingle/sting a bit when first applied
a bit tough to remove without using a washcloth
can stain wash cloth, but not skin.

works great as a weekly or bi-weekly mask. Make sure to use warm water and wash cloth to remove, otherwise it can be tough to get off. and use a moisturizer to keep from overdrying. worked great to help clear out pores and flatten pimples.

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:

makes my pores a little smaller (not much), skin is supper smooth, can use daily, did not break me out. Cause pimple to be flatter

Cons:

none really, the stinging was bad at first, but not so much now.

I have been using this product for 3 days now, I/m using it daily, and it does help with oily skin (I have very oily skin). I am soooo glad there was no initial breakout, it reduced size of pimple on my forehead. I have been cleared up well before this product due to change in diet, and taking my herbs and braggs organic apple cider vinegar (which is really good for acne). I ran across this product in Dollar General, and remembered all the great reviews about it. Ever since I started using it, it has made my skin more firmer, and helped with my pores which are extremely large. I'd recommend this product as a topical use. I use to have moderately sever acne. I cannot credit this product for clearing me up completely because acne has to also be battled internally. Thanks to my diet change and other supplements I take I went from having moderately severe acne to very light acne. This mask however has helped the one pimple I have on my forehead flatten out, and my skin feels great. I will keep using :)

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!
