Works quickly, you don’t have to leave it on for long. Can be a little messy. Right after you take it off you can see your face looking smoother and refreshed.

Not impressed at all. Have been using it for almost a month and no difference in look and feel of my skin.The texture of this mask is very gooey and seems like it's mainly just aloe. I would not...

I love this mask! It is gentle yet I do feel tingling after a couple minutes. It smells fantastic and makes my skin feel soft and refined. I will always use this mask, as long as they make it!

Guys, seriously. Use a spoon to get the stuff out, it's not rocket science. Anyway, I really like this mask so far. Did not bother my skin and seemed to help fade post acne marks. I have very...

I've used this mask for years; it's a staple. My skin hates physical exfoliants, even gentle ones, so I'm an acid peel fan. Pineapple, pumpkin, papaya, bring it on. This is a thick, translucent...

I love this! Quick drying mask, I could feel and see the effects in 5 minutes - my skin did look clearer and feel softer. It does sting/burn a tiny bit, but it's letting me know that it's working.

For the price point, this product does a great job of clearing skin of flakiness, dullness AND maintaining it that way for a good loooooooong time. It helps me get rid of my chin acne and with...
