I've been a big fan of clay masks for a long time. I've tried Caudale, Paula's Choice & Lush (if you can handle fragrance, they're quite nice btw). An esthetician friend of mine suggested this mask as I have adult-acne from clogged pores, stress & other hormonal problems. I FLIPPIN' LOVE THIS MASK! It's magic, I can't even explain it. After ONE USE my skin looked visibly clearer and calmer. I ran out of the bathroom to show my husband and force him to feel my face and all it's smoothy-goodness. This mask has given me consistent results from regular use and I couldn't be happier! Great for the price too - never going back to expensive masks after this!
