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...

I just used it today along with everything else I was recommended and I really Iiked it. -it was a thick creamy smooth texture when allying - on my skin (yours can react differently) it tingled at first (almost like it was going to start to burn) but then it cooled down after a few minutes. - once dried, it tightened on my skin (like all masks do) - after 10 min it came off easy and went back to a creamy smooth texture when I was washing it off. - once its all off my skin felt like I just splashed cold water on it so it feel refreshing for a little while (are supposed to wash off with warm water btw) and my nose especially felt less textured and soft. All and all the instructions were very straightforward and helpful on the back and it's super easy to use after washing and drying my face.

this stuff is amazing. i don't have acne, but it really puts an extra shine to my complexion. i tried another mask from niod and it was disappointing ( the flavanone mud one - it's not on the website anymore, so it must have been d/c - the metal tube split and the brick red product went flying across my white bathroom...nice! had to throw it out - cs told me not to bother mailing anything in to return and to drive over 2 hours instead). at least i have the old faithful SA 2% mask in a plastic container. big ups to plastic.
Help what? … nothing
I was so excited to use this product for my stubborn blackheads but did it help? Nope! It helped my mind rather than my skin. Pass, pass, pass! Save your money
Poor packaging

Like many other have said, it's way too hard to squeeze the mask out of its tube. For the first use it worked fine but after that it hardened. If I wanted a workout I'd be at the gym, not buying skincare products.
