New formula
I must say this was my hero product. I think the formula has changed and it is not as effective as previously. I can definitely see the difference compared to when I used to use it in the past. The bottle got bigger and the product got worse. Sad, but I will not be purchasing this anymore. I hope th...

Good for Price and isn't irritating
I can sensitive acne prone skin so I am sensitive on which face masks to put on my face. This is one of the first masks in a long time that doesnt make my skin inflamed or so red.

Literally the only face masque that helps my skin with oil control without drying me out completely. I use it once a week, then use ceraVe SA cleanser and a light moisturizer twice daily. Within a month of this my skin went to being GREASY by 3-4pm, to perfectly dry all day. Also seems to help a bit with acne. You defs have to get in a routine of using it 1-2 times a week for it to work, so don't expect instant results, but that's honestly how it is with any product. Bought the 10oz around July 2023 and am just starting to run out in December! 100% putting the 20oz bottle on my Christmas list :)
Sooooo good
This stuff is sooooo good. Smoothing, softenjng, clears pores, eases texture. Ill forever keep this in my skincare lineup. Burns a lil at first but goes away after a min or two.
Great product - not so great packaging

I try to avoid buying the 50 mL products and I'll be buying the 100 mL next time. The tube is so stiff that I have to cut the end of it off to get the remaining product out. Photo shows how much was still in the tube after I could no longer squeeze any out.
Good product good price
This mask can be compared to expensive name brands and even works better than a lot. Contains salicylic acid which is the only thing that fights my acne. Doesnt burm, irritate or dry me out as long as you follow directions and moisturize. Works fast and comes off easily. Pretty much the only face mask I use or buy now for acne.
