A pretty pointless product,does not do anything and looks quite offensive too if you know what i mean! It has an opaque gloopy consistency and doesn't even feel like a mask,i see no difference in my skin after using this and taking a look at the ingredients its just full of cone's and the only nice ingredient is Aloe Vera which you can easily pick up in a Healthfood shop for less than £2. I just can't believe this product can even be on the market,its doesn't do anything and doesn't have the ingredients to do anything. Please do not waste your money!

This product didn't work for me as well. Purifying? Yeah right. Radiance? Slightly. I hate it's texture. It's like white melted jello or something like that. I don't feel my face clean whenever I use this mask.. I won't buy it again for sure.

This did not purify or help my oily, acne-prone skin.
Maybe those with nearly perfect skin would find this helpful but I'm sure there are better masques out there.

Quite a useless mask, to say the least. I don't notice any purifying effect, and not sure about the radiance-effect either… the only good thing is that it's not irritating, but that doesn't mean that the criteria of a good mask are met. One look at the ingredient list reveals that it contains drying alcohol and just lots of silicones. Sure, it does contain a few antioxidants – tocopheryl actetate (vitamin E), camellia sinesis (green tea) and potassium ascorbyl tocopheryl phosphate (a blend of vitamins C and E) – but they are low on the inci list, which just means their portion is minimal. And the mask is on your skin for such a short period of time anyway that they don't have time to have real benefit to your skin. You're better off using antioxidant-rich moisturisers and/or serums if you like, but most of all, eating antioxidant-rich food! :)

i was looking for a purifying mask when i bought this, and i thought i could use some radiance too!!!
omg...i was so close to acctually asking my money back!!
this product is excellent for plumping up your skin and provides indeed noticable radiance (although for oily skin it may leave a dewy layer)....but purifying????? please!! you can instantly tell that this is noooo way going to deep clean your pores!!! this is a gel formula that reminds me a lot of silicon-based primers and i never feel it cleaning my face! buy it only if you are looking for a radiance mask!

Admittedly, it's hard for me to qualify why I like this mask so much, but I'll try. First, the texture is awesome - it's a smooth gel-cream, and the scent is lovely. It was very refreshing, and I feel like it works at really cleaning out my skin. I tend to use it for a couple of nights straight to really flush my skin from deeeeeeeep down, and it really pulls all the scum to the surface, resulting in initial breakouts, but more radient skin in the coming weeks.

It has been discontinued at my Shoppers' Drugmart, so I have a feeling it won't even be available much longer, but I quite enjoy it and would buy it again if I can find it.

One of the major drawbacks is the price, there is probably only enough product for 7-8 masks in the tube, and considering it doesn't work miracles, I think the price is a bit steep for that. But it's such a unique mask, I'm very much sad to see it leaving the lineup.

Didn't work for my oily skin.Leaves an oily residue film-like on the skin and turns my skin red and irritate.Didn't notice any radiance or purifying effect on my skin.It's not ''strong" enough for my oily skin,for someone with drier skin maybe this stuff will work better.As for the antioxidants,that I ve red in other reviews,there nowhere in the ingredient list.This to me seems more hydrating that cleansing mask

In simple, this is a nice mask and my skin love this only in the cold season. For summer, it made my skin overly dewy and not the nice kind. Yes this does smell nice and it fades off quickly. Packaging is very travel/shower friendly.

I just love it!
I do once a week (twice in summer with the oilies to be kept under control) a kaolin /clay based mask, in addition to my daily exfoliation/scrubbing & to an hydrating mask to replenish (well, here you have my home facials, at which I have recently added the aspirin mask!!)
Prior to Dior Masque Magique, I went through a tube of Dermalogica - finished some weeks ago - but I was not satisfied at all, too drying, very unpleasant smell and average results. It was a pain to finish this tube (and too little left to swap it up).

So I was looking for a good alternative: I bought this Dior mask.
Yep, it is more expensive (retails here in Italy at 30 Euros) but it is a SUPERIOR Mask.
Texture: gel, creamy and very smooth. Non drying. it is sheer, not opaque as the other clay based (those that make a crust when they dry up).
Smells DIVINE (to me smell it very important: I think that cosmetics is about pampering yourself and a smell must be pleasant to me in order to pamper!).
Action: deep cleansing, radiance-boosting.
Plus: it not only cleanses but it is packed with antioxidants (white tea, green tea & red tea extracts) and other skin-nourishing nutrients. So you take it off after the classical 10 minutes and you are left with clean, vibrant, evenly toned, and radiant.
A real at home beauty SPA facial!
A must have, definitely.
