Most Helpful Positive Review Best Mask Ever! This Tumeric/Cranberry Mask is the best skincare purchase I have made in a long time. Being a full time graduate student, I do not have a lot of time to devote to skincare but skincare is still very important to me. This mask brightens my skin every time I use it (2x - 3x a week) and makes it look like I get facials every week! Not only has my skin been clear since I began using this mask two months ago, but I have received several compliments on my skin and how it is clear/glows. The mask smells good, exfoliates and leaves my skin feeling fresh. This mask will be a permanent part of my skincare routine.
Most Helpful Critical Review A bit cumbersome I love the idea of this masque, but I don't love using it.
I use some sort of treatment or masque almost every day. I've had this product for 2 months now, and I have only used it about 3 times.
I'm still unsure about the effect - I'd probably have to use it a bit more frequently to see the results, but Kiehl's claims this masque is "instant."
There's really nothing "instant" about this masque though. The description makes it seem like you can just apply, let dry, and easily rinse off. That's not the case, though. It is extremely difficult to remove, and the cranberry seeds stick to your skin. I literally have to scratch them off. Also, if I have any stubble on my face, it makes it way more tiresome.
If this was a masque you could use PRIOR to washing your face, then it wouldn't be so bad. But the fact that you're supposed to use this AFTER cleansing and toning makes it a nightmare. Its not something you can put on, rinse off, and head out the door. You've really got to set aside time - and patience - to use this product. Oh, and have fun getting the cranberry seeds out of your sink.
Great idea...great ingredients...needs improvement.

Tried a sample of this a while ago and loved it, so I bought a full size. It felt like it was giving my face a chemical burn so I had to take it off after only 5 minutes. I remembered there being a tingling sensation, but I think there is something off with the batch I must have gotten- perhaps too much menthol? I'm bummed because the sample was so great, and now i'm afraid to keep putting it on my face.
Great Mask Great Value 5
HappySkinHI from Hawaii
I've used this mask for 5 months and it's a great product. Tightens skin, feels great and exfoliates. It's a great value for the price when compared with other professional products.
Average face mask 3
Priya from MA
After the first use, my face felt clear and bright but also very dry. This mask doubles up as a gentle scrub and feels extremely soothing on the skin. A little overpriced though. I would recommend this to people who have sensitive and oily skin type as this should be perfect for them.
Great Mask! 5
Kiehluser91 from Los Angeles, CA
I got a sample of this, and I'd say it really works. After applying, and waiting for about 10-15min, after the wash, skin did look radiant and clean. I think later on I would buy the full size for this one.
Works great! 5
PkIngmi from Kingston Jamaica
Masks normally break me out between that area between my nose and cheeks. This doesn't. It helps to clear up break outs and it's my skin a glow. Yes washing off is a bit tedious but if you use a wash cloth it does the trick.
Face refresher 5
Thirtysomething from Texas
Tried this after two days of driving and no sleep. Made a world of difference! My skin felt rebalanced and looked refreshed immediately. I don't normally do face masks but I'll be using this one regularly.
After some time i've come to a conclusion lol 3
Rachel from California
I've had this face mask for a few months now, i have a bunch of different face masks i like to switch up every week for my weekly face mask. When i first got this i was impressed with how bright and glowing in made my skin look. I was really hoping for it to help with some acne spots. It doesn't really help with that. But i guess it does what it claims it's a "radience" mask but for the high price i would expect it to work and give maximum results all around. I just think there's better face masks out there that do a very good job for a lower price too.

I must say I have enjoyed the products and this by far is another favorite. After my first use I felt the difference, my skin was smooth and the next morning I felt the radiance. .
So soft 5
Feen from Jupiter, FL
Received a sample of this in my last order. My skin feels so soft and clean. Only thing negative I could say is the cost.
I loved this! 5
Jessye3000 from Sioux Falls, SD
I usually just use like Korean sheet masks, but I decided I wanted a bit of an upgrade. This mask is everything. The seeds help exfoliate, my skin felt so smooth afterward. I'm obsessed.
Your face will GLOW 5
Sbuttrey from Franklin, TN
My boyfriend even commented on my skin glowing(this is a a man who wouldn't notice if I cut 10 inches of my hair off) it's a little pricey but the best results I have found in a face mask.
Great brightening mask!!! 4
Ava from Michigan
I have very dry and sensitive skin so this mask did burn a bit but once I took it off my face was glowing and not red at all!! Such a plus. My face felt refreshed, exfoliated, and smooth. The reason for 4 stars is I would like if it was more hydrating for my dry skin but overall this is a good mask!

Perfect face mask for even the most sensitive skin! 5

Beautiful consistency, smell, and color. Could not be happier!
Difference-Maker 5
Expat Kiki from USA/Asia
This is the only mask/skincare product I've ever used that resulted in an immediate, noticeable difference. It's easy to apply, gets comfortably tight as it dries, and is easy to remove. I know others have had issues with the cranberry seeds, but I have never found them to be a problem. I like the exfoliation they provide. After using, my skin looks brighter and more even. I use it three times a week. I'm an expat, and I make sure to purchase the large pot when I'm home so it will last through my travels. This is the only specific skincare product I'm willing to pay this much for, and there's a reason for that - it works for me!

I love the texture of this mask and how it purifies everything while brightening the complexion
Amazing results on my acne prone skin! 5
Rosalie from undisclosed
I've been struggling with hormonal acne since switching up my birth control and have been looking for skincare products with turmeric--my DIY face masks and spot treatments made me look like I have jaundice. I came across this mask and have seen really great results. I use it 1-2 nights a week and before events because it makes my skin look and feel soft, hydrated, and radiant. It instantly makes spots look smaller and less red, plus the rest of my face looks so bright and fresh it draws attention away from my acne. I follow it up with the cannabis sativa oil and the next morning my spots are barely noticeable. I use the Rare Earth Clay mask as well, but I always have bad breakouts after 2-3 days before it gets better (part of the purging process), so I have to plan ahead to ensure I'm not worsening my skin's appearance before something important. I've found that if I use this 1-2x/wk, I can get away with using the Rare Earth less frequently and the "purge" acne is much less of a problem now. Seriously a fantastic addition to my skincare routine and a really great value considering what a large tub it comes in and how little goes a long way. I've been using it regularly for over a month now and have barely left a dent in the product. I just finished my skincare for the evening and I already can't wait till I get to use it again!

Messy! 4

Very good product but tough to wash off! Prepare to get a little messy.

Title says it all!
I love love love! This face mask
It really works to tighten and brighten your face!
HOWEVER it is a PAIN to wash off at the sink!
i always find myself, on my knees, bent over the tub. Washing my face off using a wash towel.
**An employee said the best way to use it, is right before you take a shower, making it easier to wash off and the smell will steam up in a hot shower.
It works!!! 5
By happy buyer from West Covina
I dont use it as of ten as I should but I've noticed my face is brighter. It leaves my face soft and awake.

One of my favorites. 5
Ty from Michigan
This mask is one of my favorites. I have many mask, from Peter Thomas Roth, Glam Glow to the regular Neutrogena hydro mask (the higher end to very drug store) and I finished the entire jar for the first time in life. I have so many mask and I like to switch it up so I never end up finishing them. However, with this one I couldn't put it down. It does exactly what it says it does and it's just a really nice mask overall. I prefer to put it on before my shower and allow it dry down because the seeds are a tad tough to get off but massage it a little and the steam helps soften it up. Oh and another thing is because it's turmeric, it actually leaves like yellow stains (washable) but don't put it on if you already dressed lol. You will love it! Just got another!
SO FRESH AND CLEAN 5
ABCDA from undisclosed
I purchased several masks over Christmas break and this one was my favorite one to use. It also was the first one to be used up because I loved it so much. I dries down pretty dry and leaves your skin so fresh feeling. I naturally have ance prone skin and it was great. Didn't make me break out at all.
Immediate Brightening 4
Ivy from Charlotte
Use weekly or more. This product is not messy or hard to remove if used properly. Once it dries; massage damp hands to soften dry mask and rub face gently for true exfoliation. Rinse thoroughly afterwards; remaining mask will come off easily after gentle exfoliation step. (This isn't explained well in directions.) My hubs loves this mask as well and begs me to join him lol
