    This is a great mask for my sensitive combination skin. I use it once or twice a week and it keeps my face soft, clean and radiant. Don't let the colour bother you, it's really worth the try....

    This is my favorite mask. I agree, it looks pretty ugly on... it's a very dark green color. When I wipe it off my face, I see an instant difference. My skin is brighter and smoother. It...

    This is one of my favorite masks. It absorbs oil, but doesn't leave skin parched, calms irritation, and helps with blemishes. Although, I think this is uglier than a standard green clay mask.. the...

    I'm not exactly sure how this works, but when my skin starts to feel a little too oily or I'm having a breakout I slather some of this on, wait for about 15 minutes and then wash it off. Voila! ...

    This is my favorite mask. I use it about twice a week, although I am considering using it more often. It absorbs excess oil without irritating or stripping my skin, and it leaves my skin feeling...

    This is a pretty nice mask. It really does seem like it is a good product for balancing combo skin. It tightens and refines skin while on but rinses off very easily and leaves skin feeling...

    Fairly ordinary mask on my skin. I have dry skin prone to the occasional blemish. This mask stung my face and does have a greyish cast when used - the carbon!! It rinses off fairly easily but...

    So far, this is the only one of Paula's products I didn't care for. I only used it once and it felt ok on my chin, but burned on my nose. I don't think I will be using this one anymore.

    This does sting a bit but it is refreshing after a while. It feels like it cleans my skin and slightly moisturizes it, which I do not need. This is a good mask if you need the extra cleaning and a...

    I tried a sample. Unfortunately, it stung like crazy upon application. I could not bear leaving it on more than a minute and washed it off right away. What a relief! I can't comment on how it will...

    Well, I have dry sensitive skin, so I wasn't sure about this product. I bought the 2oz trial size because in the summer months I tend to get more blackheads. Boy was I surprised! It doesn't...

    Not a bad product. For the cost you get quite a lot of product in the 4 oz. tube. I would have to say it did a good job on reducing the amount of oil on my face and my skin did feel clearer and...

    I had high hopes for this mask and I should have returned it but unfortunately it made my face sting. I ended up throwing it away.

    Great mask for combo/oily skin, yet it doesn't leave skin tight or dry. Pores look great after using this mask.

    A decent mask that didn't irritate my sensitive skin. I use it on days when I feel I need a deeper cleansing or on oily days. I find that it's quite soothing, and reduces any redness. It does smell...

    I've only used this once, so it might be too early to judge, but so far I am very impressed. For me, I felt it absorbed oil just as well as the PC oil absorbing mask without drying my skin out. ...
