A nice, thick, smooth mask. It left my skin looking and feeling good, and it didn't exacerbate my dryness. I'm using it once a week after Eve Lom's cleanser, which I love. I use it after the cleanser and exfoliating, and the mask did not sting or hurt. Using it is very pleasant, which I'm glad to say as I have sensitive skin.

The smell is a bit funny but you get used to it. At least it is a fresh smell.

For me, masks come in 2 types – the super deep cleansing ones that you know will result in a few zits right after using, and the ones that you put on when you skin is a bit crazy to make it better. This is in the latter category, I know I can use it as a ‘rescue mask’ to calm down my skin in emergencies, which is great, as I’m often too scared to use stronger clay masks in case they cause skin mayhem (I’m looking at YOU, Dr Hauschka mask!) This is good to have on hand, it’s no miracle cure, but I feel that it helps.

I first tried this when I received a sample from a beauty shop. I was very impressed with the results and I have since purchased a 100ml size. It left my pores refined and my skin glowing and plump. It doesn't leave skin feeling parched unlike other deep cleansing masks that I have tried. I am an Eve Lom convert. I love her whole skin care line and since I have adopted her less is more approach my oily/combo skin has never been better! I would definitely repurchase this mask again.

This is a clay mask that smells like crap! tried a sample (managed to get 3 uses) so far not too sure if its the effects of the mask or am allegic to it but after use, the next day will always have a few pimples i need to extract in addition to the exfoliation, extraction and mask that i usually do. plkus side it really cleans up the face - radiant . gives a tingy feeling...i think it should be used before extraction rather than after extraction cos of the campour which might further irritate skin. sensitive skin might want to get sample to try first. doubt will repurchase cos its expensive and it definitely smells like crap.

I've used it twice from a generous sample pack. I have combination skin with tendency towards clogged pores. This mask smells very stongly of menthol (is it the camphor?). I also see from the ingredients that it has denatured alcohol in it. Neither of these are good for the skin. I know some people like to feel a 'tingle effect' but that tingle is actually low-level irritation. The mask feels slightly astringent as I put it on and it dries hard like a very basic clay mask. I don't like the crusty feeling as it dries and much prefer my other clay-based masks which don't dry hard (Chanel and PC). Also, the rubbing off I feel is totally unnecessary and will just make skin red - it does mine. Rescue Mask does not make my skin any smoother, but it does make it look very dry. All in all, a big thumbs down for such an expensive and mediocre product.

My brother bought this for me as part of a starter kit - it wasn't spa quality like you expect from such expensive products, but it did do a good job of deep cleansing my skin. I don't mind rubbing the mask off (even though it was messy)and my skin always looks better after using this. It is similar to Clarin's Facial Peeling mask which comes in a tube. My jar dried up after a while (I had it for a long time as I rotate between several masks), but pleased to know it is now packaged in a tube. All Eve Lom products are expensive, but I will repurchase this.

I thought this was a good and effective clay mask. You definitely feel the tingle of the camphor which brightened the skin. I would either leave for 10 mins and wash off for a quick stimulating fix or 15-20 mins and gently exfoliate with the almond grains for a deeper cleanse. Eve Lom says in her blurb that this can be used under the eyes in the morning to reduce puffiness but I think the camphor would be too strong for me.

I absolutely love this mask. It is the best product ever! I have tried quite a few different masks which seem to make absolutely no difference whatsoever. But when I use this my skin looks so radient and revitalised. I have sensitive skin which seems to becoming more prone to breakouts, especially around my chin. Because of this I am always careful about the products I use on my skin. I find that this takes away redness, improves blemishes and calms the skin, plus you also get the exfoliating action of the grains in it.
The only thing is that I do not like the new packaging. Before it used to come in a pot. Now you can only buy it in a tube. You don't get as much product out of a tube which seems a little wasteful as this runs out pretty quickly. It also seems runnier in a tube. Nevertheless, I love this product so much that I think it is worth it and will purchase again and again and again. Buy it, buy it now!

I love this product! I tend to breakout on occassion(once a month around "that" time) and when I do, I use the mask and leave it on overnight. In the morning, what used to be horrible red spots are hardly there at all. It's the only product I've ever used that has this result everytime.

While I love the results when my skin's problematic, the mask doesn't seem to do much for normal skin - i.e. it doesn't make normal skin great skin.

However, I would recomend this mask to anyone for a quick fix for tired skin or to put a quick end to a spot.

Very good deep cleansing mask, I use this 1-2 times weekly. skin becomes soft and smooth after rubbing the product off. However this does not remove blackheads, only makes them easier to remove. Has a very strong medical methol smell, once I got used to that it's not so bad. Will purchase again.

Interesting mask, and exciting to use (it IS Eve Lom after all), but results are not stellar for me. I've used this product five times now (about half the jar is empty) - DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU ALREADY EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN REGULARLY/USE AHAs DAILY. This product has little exfoliating grains, and some camphor/menthol ingredients that pack quite a sting on sensitive or treated skin. Further irritation can happen too since this mask is supposed to be "swept" or rubbed off the face (comes off like eraser shavings once dry) before rinsing. The scent is a strange blend of camphor (?), and something like cereal or oats. It's unusual, but it's pleasing for me. I feel like I'm using a true spa-like product. Overall though, this mask is definitely not for sensitive skins - I experience a bit of a sting after every application/while it's on, and it requires quite a lot of massage to remove all traces of the mask. Afterwards, my skin FEELS smoother, but looks slighlty red/chapped. I'll use up my jar, but won't be repurchasing.

I've used up the whole pot now and I must say I am not really impressed. To me it seems to be a mediocre product, much like all the other (cheaper) cleansing masks out there. My skin did look smoother after using it, but I didn't really feel it deep-cleansed much, also it didn't help with zits at all. Unfortunately it also dried out my (sensitive) skin.





The packaging is not very practical IMO. By the end the product dried out completely since it comes in a srew-top jar and not a tube that restricts air-contact. Not only is this less hygienic, it also makes application more and more inconvenient when you come close to finishing it up. At the end it just stuck to my fingers!
I must say I much prefer my Shiseido The Skincare Purifying Mask where I see real improvements after each use.





Eve Lom products are also available from her website at the UK-price, you needn't pay anything for shipping costs! I definitely won't repurchase this product!

This really is a great skincare range. This mask really does deep clean the skin without drying it out. The only downside is the smell but if you can put up with that its worth trying it.

A very good mask which cleared my skin well and left it more radiant, soft and supple. Didn't completely get rid of blackheads around the nose, but mine are quite bad. I would buy this again for use as a deep-cleansing mask.

I like this mask. It is one of the few mask that I can run through the whole jar completely. This is not a miracle mask thou. I DID NOT take away my blackheads but loosen them for easy extractions. A good way for exfoliation as well because of the rubbing off action. However, balancing its result and the limited availability, it is not superb enough for me to go through the hasszle and order it again from UK.

Ingredients: kaolin, aqua(water), glycerin, alcohol denat., mel(honey), prunus amygdalus dulcis (almond meal and extract), camphor, magnesium aluminum silicate, sodium chloride, allantoin, aluminum chlorohydrate, propylene glycol, magnesium chloride, methylparaben, calcium chloride

This is a lovely mask - the camphor smell and the gentle tingling sensation make you feel like your skin's really getting clean, then when you rinse it off, the evidence is all there. My sensitive PPP skin's glowing, rosy and soft; it's great for clearing up problem areas like noses and clogged chin pores. I use this once a week for a Sunday night pick-me-up. And it's not actually all that expensive, considering that a small pot does last quite a long time.

No miracles here, but I will likely buy again. This is the best clay mask I've use. So far, I've done the mask about 12 times, and my blackheads haven't disappeared but they have lessened more than with anyother non-acid product. Since I am trying to stay clear of toxic ingredients like AHAs and BHAs, this mask is a nice alternative. My skin can't usually tolerate alchohol but for some reason, this mask still feels gentle and doesn't cause my skin irritation despite its ingredients. I just use on my t-zone.

A good face mask imo. The camphor can be a little strong when you first apply this, but you get used to it and it doesnt bother you while you have the mask on. I do use this from time to time to clear up the blackheads on my nose. However, last time i used this mask i found it dried up my normal-combination skin so I think Im going to give it a rest for a while.
