I wasn't sure about this mask at first. It tingled and then started to feel like it was almost burning my skin, particularly my nose. When I went to check the status of my skin in the mirror I saw blackheads and oil surfacing above the mask. The burning sensation I felt (which wasn't burning at all) was the mask leeching all of the dirt and oil out of my skin. Which is both disgusting and amazing, right? After the first use it stopped tingling and really started helping my skin. It helps clear up the already existing pimples faster--something no product has ever done before and I've tried a lot of different products. After using this for about a month, I don't have as many blackheads. My skin is softer, more even in tone, and I'm not breaking out as much. Now, I still get pimples. I'm in my 30s and the hormone struggle is real. But the pimples clear so much faster with the help of this mask. I use it all over my face once a week and then as a spot treatment in between. I just love it. Honestly, this mask is really helping my skin. And I did NOT receive a discount for this product or get it for free. I paid for it and am so pleased I did.
