I would not use this mask again. It makes my face sting and burn. My skin is sensitive and acne-prone.

I Love this stuff. I've been using it for two weeks now and I noticed that my face didn't get oily at all for 3-4 days after using the mask-my make up stay on much longer. Before using it my face required an oil removing paper every three hours; It's that oily. It feels and smell great too I like the cooling sensation.

However, I my acne still popping out sometime and it didn't help to bring out the blackheads. I still have it after using the mask. I will buy it again for making my face clean for 3 days alone.

I have been using this product twice a week for about 3 years and I love it. Because of this, my complexion is unblemished and I don't suffer from any redness. I still wear foundation because I believe makeup looks better when you apply foundation whether you're aiming for light or full coverage. Anyway, back to the Biotherm mask. It smells nice and makes my skin look wonderful. You have to remember to be consistent in using it. Only then will you see positive results.

I bought this product from internet seller.
I had been comparing a few purifying masks and decided to give it a go on this product for the following reasons:
- price is moderate if it is working
- packing looks okay

After using it a couple of times, I would say that it is not as good as other purifying masks. Every time, it gives me some breakouts the next morning.

I will not buy it again.

This mask is pretty decent, but nothing spectacular. I have oily and acne-prone skin, and this product did help with the oil, but not so much with the sprinkling of acne I got recently.

The super-clean and tight feeling that I get right after goes away after a day, so it's really nothing too awesome.

It has a tolerable smell, and doesn't sting me at all. I would recommend ONLY if you have oily skin, and not if you're looking to clear your skin of acne.

This mask didn't help balance my skin at all. It's a basic kaolin mask that left my skin feeling soft and clean immediately after rinsing, but it didn't do anything else. It contains parabens and fragrance and Biotherm conducts animal testing, so combined with the lack of results I won't repurchase.

Biopur Balancing Purifying mask is a good/above average mask - not my HG, not the perfect mask on Earth, but does a pretty good job.

I use it mainly on my T-zone, as this mask would be too drying for the rest of my face. It dries up quickly and almost pulls my face thigh so I would recommend not to let it dry more than a few minutes if you have sensitive skin. It makes my skin a bit softer and a bit clearer. It's not a miracle product but I can feel the difference when I use it. It feels like sucking out the oil and tightens a bit my pores. But this fresh and deep clean feeling lasts only one day or so.

I find the consistency a bit runny, I prefer thicker mask, because they are less messy and easier to apply but it's not a big deal. Although the consistency is not thick, you don't need a lot of product. I don't find it really prevent zits - now that I'm older my acne is more hormonal anyways so this product won't help but does a fair job when it comes to oily zones.

I bought a tube of this in October and there's still plenty of this mask inside the tube. I have to say that I alternate with my 2 HG masks (Queen Helen Mint Julep and Origins Clear Improvement).

I don't use most products from Biopur line since it's too drying for me but I will most probably buy this mask again - it will surely help to control oilier skin during summertime!

after seeing some good reviews here i decided to give this mask a try...........coz the mattifying mask from h20 that i've been using seems to make me break out more.........and god am i glad that i tried this........althought i've only used it once and i've alrready noticed a different........it calms my acne and it even decrease the number of pumps around my chin area which break out the most...........until i use it that i realized how bad the one from h20 is.............this mask doesn't burn ur face liked some other cleaning masks out there......and it's just great for me to see result right after the first time using it.....black heads are visibly gone....people out there with break out should definately give this a try..........

This broke me out terribly. I rarely get cystic acne, but this gave me at least 5 or 6 of them spread across my face. I had a huge problem with the rest of the BioPur line, and this product is no different. Never again.

Great mask for oily skin. My skin is oily and acne-prone so it works perfectly for me. My skin is smoother and really matte the day after I use this. Plus, I think it has helped me clear up a little bit. Love the product and would definitely buy it again.

However, I only recommend this for those of you with OILY skin. It dries up my oily skin in a good way, but if you don't have oily skin you're probably going to dry up majorly!

Like other reviewers have said - this is good for oily skin but on dry skin it would be too much. I left the mask on past the suggested 5 minutes and boy - it dries and pulls your face so tight that it's actually visible. But that's okay, I just soften it with a hot washcloth and it's easy to rinse off. I haven't used it often, so I'm going to try using it once or twice a week and see how it goes.

This definitely shrinks my pores and my zits.
I like to use it right before I sleep~ When I wake up, my skin is so soft!
You shouldn't sleep with it on though. You can use it as spot treatment though. If I have a huge zit, I'll put it on the zit and let it dry and then sleep~
I used to be a fan of queen helene's mint julip mask, but I hated how the sulfur smell lingered on my face for days!
This mask smells great while putting it on, and the smell doesn't linger.

This is a great mask! I love that it works in 5 minutes and its claims are true. My pores definitely look smaller and my skin appears clearer/clarified after treatment. I use it after the complementary scrub and feel that it's a quality product. Would definitely buy again and I highly recommend.

Bought this becoz the sale lady told me that it would help clearing up my acne and would reduce the oiliness of my face.. after used a several times, i didnt notice any result and gave it to my friend. This is just an ordinary deep clean mask that comes in a white clay-like texture, strong fragrance smell like other Biotherm products, and dried up pretty quickly. My face felt a bit dry after using and when the mask dried, it became pieces.

I have oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin & this mask has helped it so much. I use it twice a week & leave it on for 10-15 minutes- you only need a little, & it rinses off easily. I get ZERO irritation from this, (& my skin hates just about everything). In fact, it kind of calms it & leaves it matte with cleaner pores. My skin looks so much more clear & my makeup lasts better throughout the day. Good price, since 1 tube will last a few months (at least).

What a great mask! I used this last night before I went to bed. It is a clay-based mask that you only have to leave on for 5 minutes. I like that I don't have to leave it on for 20 min or anything. It wipes off easily and my skin felt so smooth and soft afterwards. I couldn't believe that my pores looked smaller. That was wild. If I were more oily I would use this 2-3 times a week, it made my skin very matte. This would be especially good for pimple-prone skin and that is the point of the whole Biopur line. I use this mask in conjunction w/my other Biotherm stuff but I don't just use all Biopur. I felt like this really cleaned up my skin and I will keep using it once a week and use the HydraDetox mask once a week, too. It was about $21.

This masks is fantastic for deep cleasing your pores. Very effective in keeping blemishes under control if used regularly. Best used after exfoliating face. I found that it also helps get rid of zits very quickly. A tube also lasts for ages and ages

i like this product because its really tight on your skin so it feels like its sucking out the yucky oil and dirt. I leave this mask on longer than your suppose to, about a half hour so when i wash it off my skin feels so clean and soft. I only use this mask about once a week , i usually try to leave my skin alone so that i dont get any blemishes. For all you girls who said that its a small tube , very true but you only use a little and work it over your face. I was very hesitant to buy it for the price it was and the amount you get but a little goes a long way, Especially if you only use it like once a week. Over all i would buy it again maybe if i were a little richer though.

Ive always had a misconception about masks. Ive always thought that im supposed to break out after using a mask. Not with this one. You can feel the deep cleanse, but it doesnt bring up any problems or breakouts. Most importantly, it will leave your skin soft, and it got rid of all of my blackheads on my nose after one time. I also noticed the fact that m ypores are smaller.
