    This basically is Milk of Magnesia (Paula's recommended face mask) packaged for skincare. Not glamourous, but proven to absorb oil. Dries me out too much, though and don't like the consistency at...

    I got this as a sample and I did did make my face feel nice and non oily at first, but it seemed to get oiler later on. This mask did nothing for me. Just a waste of time.

    This and the milk of magnesia are the worst ideas for masks ever. It feels like a good mask..but it overdries your skin AND makes my acne much much worse, and is very irritating. Don't USE this,...

    Yes, it definitely has a weird smell on it. But it does seem to work in the sense that my skin looks and feels much cleaner afterwards. However, it is unclear to me whether this is a very essential...

    Not a bad mask but Paula needs to improve its smell. This is what turns me away from it... I had a small bottle and used only twice in the past one year. I am very turn off by the smell of this. :-(

    This mask is simple and very effective at absorbing oil. It makes my face feel clean and dry after. It's easy to apply, tightens and dries up quickly(5min), rinses off easily, so you don't have...

    Didn't do a thing for me - felt really greasy and even clay masks which dry me out do more.

    This mask is good for absorbing oil, but Milk of Magnesia (which Paula also recommends as a drying mask) not only does this, but also works as a mattifier on its own or under makeup. Paula's Oil...

    A great mask. Helps to absorb oil from the face. Only a lttle bit is needed to cover the entire face. Also helps to minimize the appearance of pores. It is a little more expensive than drugstore...

    This mask certainly works. It absorbs oil and leaves the face slightly dry, but has never stung or irritated me to the point that what I put on afterwards stings. But the sulfur-like smell and the...

    After using this mask, my skin felt clean and perky, but not taunt and dry. It seemed to clear up some of the oil for a while, but no prolonged effect.

    I really love this mask for my 33 year old oily skin. it is not too hard and feels cooling when it is applied. Then it dries down and makes my pores feel clean and my skin feels fresh afterwards....

    Ok I like this mask. It goes on like a moisturizer and then tightens as it dries. I used to love that same thing with Mary Kay masks so this one sold me with that same appeal.

    This isn't bad. It smells horrid but I did like how it really felt like it was working. It's not very creamy and the fact that it doesn't use clays made me a little wary after all those other clay...
