In general i really like this product. It does everything it claims (except refreshing, personally i really don't feel like it refreshed my skin in any sort of way)

Also, it was hard to take off and I was soaked in water by the time I took the product all off, but that's basically it.

Overall, I really like this alot :) and I love love love the packaging and everything about this so its a complete favorite!

I bought this after I ran out of my Queen Helene Mint Julep mask; it had been my first drugstore facial mask and I loved it so much it made me want to try more.

I like the way this mask goes on; its texture is very smooth and it makes the product spread very easily. It has a pleasant, soft smell and it leaves my skin visibly brighter and softer after I rinse it off. It's fairly easy to rinse off although it will be more resilient on oilier areas of the skin, so just make sure you rinse those parts well. After I rinse if off I can see little white spots where the mask has purged my skin, which lets me know it works effectively. It's also the perfect time to pop stubborn zits and extract blackheads, at least for me, without messing up your skin. All in all I'd say this is a very effective mask at a great price. So, after all that's said and done, why'd I only give it three lippies? That would be because, unfortunately, the fumes from this mask irritate my eyes horribly, even though I specifically don't apply it anywhere near my sensitive eyes area and even if I'm in a well vented area. It's tolerable enough (for me at least) where I can use this once a week until I run out, but unfortunately I'll be leaving this one on the shelf when I see it in stores. Despite this, I'd highly recommend it for anyone who doesn't have a sensitive eyes area.

This mask goes on smoothly and isn't irritating to my semi-sensitive combination skin. My pores look smaller and my face looks brighter after I take it off. It doesn't irritate my eyes at all, but then again I don't put it very close to my eyes in the first place. It says on the back of the bottle not to put it too close to your eyes in the first place.

It was really inexpensive at Walgreens and you get a ton of product that lasts a long time. The bottle is easy to open and close and if it gets too messy you can just wipe it off. I would buy it again but at the same time, I'm also eager to try more of Freeman's masks.

Good basic clay mask, but the scent/fumes irritate my eyes to the point where they're painful and watery. I'd recommend this for people with oily skin and not so sensitive eyes.

The mask is average but since the price was so cheap
(3.80 USD), I brought it.
The packaging is also very hygienic since it's in a tube.
On the flip side, I didn't see any results when using this. My face also itches while wearing the mask, maybe that's normal?
It also contain two types of parabens and they are pretty far up the ingredients list( greatest to least amount used) which I consider to not be good at all.
All in all, I would not be buying this product again.

This is okay. Nothing special. Just a simple clay mask that tightens as it dries. It's not difficult to wash off, though you should make sure it's completely gone (I know this isn't always easy with masks like this). I didn't notice anything special after using this, but I also didn't notice any skin issues. What I did see was that the blackheads on my nose were unaffected -- not that this is supposed to remove them.

I got this clay mask (kaolin main active ingredient) at Walmart on sale for like $3.55CAD.
It is really quite wonderful! I use it when my face feels really yucky, oily, and has breakouts. This may sound a bit gross, but it brings my blemishes to the surface, so they can then dry up. I find it effective to use this as a local topical treatment on blmish ares, as it is quite drying to your skin! Overall A+ effective product! I have purchased other masks from this brand with the same satisfaction.

I used this product on and off for 6 months and realized when I use it after I do a face scrub, my face is clean from dirt, oil and makeup. I even notice that it removes blackheads, through wish it would remove my pesky whiteheads. Now that I know it works I will use it more frequently to see the outcome of them as I am on a mission to remove all the whiteheads off of my face once and for all!!!! Only issue that I have with this is that it leaves my face a little on the drier side when I have oily skin. So a moisturizer is a must after using this. The price is great, as someone on a budget can afford a bottle and I love items that squeeze out instead of dipping in a pot. I remove a lippie because it dries after use. Overall not bad.

They changed the packaging on this one its much prettier! I just bought this and after just one use I had to come write a review.. because I fell in love. It stopped the pimple on my forehead from growing and shrunk it, helped with excess oil and blackheads, and made my skin just look superrrr awesome!!!!!!! MUST TRY! its only 4 dollars too!

I used the sample size and fell in love. It worked better than my mint julep since it wasn't harsh on my skin like the mint julep. It is a one week use kind of thing. With this though your acne might not get rid right away like mint julep BUT it will give you a clean look and soft to touch face.

I was looking for a mask that wouldn't irritate my sensitive, dry skin. At first, I tried HQ's Mint Julep Masque but it stung like crazy. Fortunately, this one didn't sting or irritate my skin at all, and it seems to really clear out my pores. However, I'll probably just use it up and not buy again only because I found another that I like better and is all natural (both this Freeman Mask and HQ's mask are NOT paraben-free).

This mask is great! It really reduced the size of my pores after using it just 4 times. It has a nice pleasant smell, makes me feel like I am in a spa :) I picked this up in CVS while looking for a good acne mask. Although this is not meant for acne, it does help with deep cleansing. I have always heard that oatmeal is great for soothing acne prone skin and this does its job! I only took off a lippie because my nose gets more oilier after using it. I think that's because the pores get cleansed, so oil gets a chance to seep out? But nothing that a oil absorbing sheet can't manage! And its very cheap :) Just $2.99 at CVS! Beats the more expensive brands...

Love this mask! It has a mild smell.I have really oily skin,so this baby sucks up all that oil and dirt out of your face! So I use 1-2 times a week or two weeks depending on how bad my skin has been. I thought it would be moisturizing as well since it has avocado in it but it dry my skin quite a bit, so I use an oil free moisturizer right after.It dried up my zits and reduced the their size as well.
It can be a little hard to wash off, but I have found that to be the case for most clay masks.

Shockingly, this stuff really works. It's so cheap, about $3 - $5. It's 150 ml, so you get a good amount for very little. This mask really does "purify" your face. As soon as you apply it, you feel your pores tingling, opening, and shrinking under your mask. If you look closely, you can see it (it has little bumps that you can observe) . The only negative things about this mask is that it's annoying to wash off, and it's slightly drying. The positives out weigh the negatives by a long shot. This mask will cleanse your face and do everything a good mask should do. Buy it!

When I saw this mask at my local grocery store i was pretty skeptical on whether or not it would work, but for $4 canadian, i wasnt going to be upset if it didnt do anything. i used it that evening and i did not feel any tingling or watering of the eyes like some reviewers are mentioning at all and i have combination of oily and dry/sensitive skin (FML)
When i washed it off, it became almost like a nice cream and 10 minutes later i looked at my skin and i was absolutely astonished. For the first time the results were real and not because i like to think it did something but the proof was in the mirror. Over HALF of my blackheads WERE GONE. My medium sized pores were gone in most places and the rest were shrunken down at least half the size. It soothed my other pimples and the results have so far lasted over 24 hours. SO PLEASED!!

This is such an awesome mask. I love all the Freeman masks, but this one might just be my favorite. It smells really nice surprisingly, and it's very refreshing. It makes my skin SO smooth after, I've almost contemplated putting it all over my entire body! And the best part is, it's usually only about 2 dollars at walmart!
