I first discovered this mask when I was in dire need of an some skin TLC and found this tube in my mom's cabinet. After using it, my skin was the smoothest it had ever felt after using a mask. I was surprised when she told me she had gotten it at Henry's. That was my first foray into the more natural beauty products. I have been using this peel for about 3 years now. Trust me when I say its absolutely amazing!! Especially for the price! But even if it was $50, I would probably still purchase. It leaves my combination/super oily/sensitive/acne-prone skin (yeah, I know...) feeling soooo smooth and soft and refreshed. Not at all tight. I have really big pores too and this mask is the only mask I've ever tried that literally makes it look like I don't have any pores at all. A must try for any girls with any combination of the skin types that I listed above.

I LOVE this mask. I use it weekly, and my skin is as soft as a baby's afterwards. Seriously! The only problem I have with it is that it leaves my skin a little red after applying it. It's also hard to find. But otherwise, I love it.

AMAZING. HG HG!
I use this as an overnight mask (I warn you it's messy using it overnight because the mask dries then peels off) however, I love how I look when I wake up in the morning. Great for people with acne/ oliy skin.
Warn you smell is strong. AT first I couldn't tolerate it but, gave it a go- I use the mask and take the smell because of how clear my face looks after.
GREAT GREAT peel.

I was in search of another facial peel to keep my skin looking in top form between in-office visits. The others are right, the smell of this is downright awful. It is nature based granted, but if you can get past the horrible smell, this works pretty well at polishing and smoothing skin. It is a little messy to use, what with the little exfoliating flakes that tend to fall on the floor and dirty my carpet. However, after using this, my face feels very nice, if a little dry (thus, the 4 lippie rating). I have used many many peels and exfoliators and I love natural products like this one. Seems to be an excellent choice for sensitive skins. Doesn't irritate nor make me break out. I will keep using to see how this fares over the long haul. So far, so good!

I've used this mask periodically for the last year. I agree with previous reviewers that results can be seen right away. I am 40 with acne prone combo skin. This mask doesn't work miracles but it helps reduce redness and leaves my skin smooth for a couple of days after use. It does smell strong, however it washes away. I can live with a little stink for better skin overall. I will continue to repurchase.

I really liked this product. I agree, the results can be seen as soon as you wipe the product off, and last for a few days. The smell isn't the best; it smells very witch hazely, but at least the smell is natural, not some synthetic chemical smell. Great price! Will definitely repurchase.

Good but not great. Made my skin smooth but that's about it. I'll stick with my aspirin mask.

First of all it smells HORRIBLE! It also made me break out every time I used it, but I do believe it is doing the job it promises to do, so for that I give a decent rating. I will not buy it again since it consistently made me breakout.

This used to be my all-time favorite mask before trying the aspirin mask and the honey comfort mask. It does make my skin feel smooth afterward, and it makes my skin look somewhat brighter and healthier afterwards. I gave it 4 lippies because it's not my HG of masks but it's still a nice one to have in the cabinet to use when I get tired of doing the same thing all the time.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! Skin texture is noticeably smoother after the peel and nightly application of Retin-A, wish the company distributed a body peel. Purchased from a local health store but found it it cheaper online.

Before I tried lactic peels I bought this, and do it every once in a while. It does have a lot of clay in it, so if you have super dry skin this probably wouldn't be a regular for you. I think it helps smooth out the skin and exfoliates. I like it because it doesn't leave my skin pink or irritated, but it's not a miracle cure for anything as far as I can tell.

I love this stuff! It makes my skin so soft and smooth. It gives me a great glow. I used it as a spot treatment on some blemishes that were popping up and they disappeared overnight. You can use it prior to using the Mint Tingle mask or you can use it alone; it works well on it's own since they have some of the same ingredients. When used together they work wonders on my oily skin. It is somewhat difficult to get off. You definitely have to use a warm washcloth like the directions say. I will buy this product again when I run out.

I loved this stuff. At first I thought the smell was overpowering but when I rinsed it off, I was totally amazed. My skin was so smooth and soft, my pores were smaller and it seems to remove a lot of blackheads, especially from my T-zone. It was also totally non-drying and I didn't need to moisturize afterwards at all. I also love that it's completely natural with no chemicals. Amazing stuff!

Mixed feelings on this peel. It does do a good job of dissolving dead skin cells and evening out your skin tone, but it contains a lot more clay than papaya enzyme (check out the ingredients list). The clay left my face feeling pretty dried-out, and I have combination-to-oily skin. People with dry skin should probably stay away. On the whole, I like Zia's papaya peel better. It has a higher concentration of enzyme and no clay to dry you out. UPDATE: Jason's papaya peel is even better than this one and Zia.

This stuff really surprised me. I applied a very thin layer. It was hard to apply evenly, because it is not very fluid. It did not burn or sting at all, but when I rinsed it off I could see a difference instantly. The uneven redness left from blemishes was reduced (not eliminated, but reduced). The little bits of gunk that were blocking my pores were standing up above the skin. It was really great. It is a peel though, so you have to be careful not to overuse and to were sunblock after using it.
