I’m not impressed. I’ve used it three times, the latter two during a significant breakout, and it didn’t move the needle at all. The thing that saved my face the most was the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and Paula’s Choice BHA Liquid Exfoliant. Immediately after using those two products I saw a difference overnight. This mask, didn’t impact my skin in any way.

I’ll continue to use it, until its empty - but as of today, I won’t be repurchasing.
