Been dealing with painful acne since my teens, and only in the past few years have I gotten it really under control. Not only is my acne mostly gone, but I've also been able to improve my PIH/PIE and my dry rough skin. Now I'm a skincare addict, however I've given myself a $30 limit for each product (there are a few exceptions as occasionally I buy something on sale for $30 or less when it's normally more). So feel free to explore my routine and liked products for affordable recommendations.
AND SUNSCREEN IS A MUST! I'm very fair and experience sun allergies when outside without protection for very long. The bumps are itchy and can be red and painful. They can take up to two weeks to go away completely so I try to be very diligent about sun protection.

Commonly disliked ingredients that DO NOT bother my skin:
โ€ข Fragrance (I don't go overboard and will still avoid it where I can)
โ€ข Astringents such as alcohol, witch hazel, or birch sap (when formulated into products)
โ€ข Citrus extracts (I do try to avoid citrus oils however)
โ€ข Tea tree oil (if formulated into a product I enjoy it, but I still try to avoid other essential oils)

Commonly liked ingredients that DO bother my skin:
โ€ข Vitamin C (especially in higher percentages, it often stings)
โ€ข Glycolic acid (especially in higher percentages, often makes me red. I prefer PHAs or BHAs with less than 0.5% strength)

How I personally rate and review products:
โญ๏ธ Terrible! Who was this product even meant for? I cannot recommend that anybody use it.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Absolutely did not work for me at all, but it might for some people. Still, I canโ€™t say I recommend the product. I believe there's a better alternative out there.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Itโ€™s not awful and didn't do anything terrible to my skin, but I personally did not enjoy using the product or see many results. Although, I imagine it could work well for some people.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Product works, but thereโ€™s just something about it I wish was better or different.
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Amazing! Product works very well and is enjoyable to use. I highly recommend!

Maybe this mask would suit someone with oily skin better? For me, I just didnโ€™t notice any difference in my skin when I used this. I definitely was expecting a hydration boost but all I really experienced was a having a green gel on my face for 10 minutes. My skin felt pretty much the same after washing this off. I guess itโ€™s cooling, but thatโ€™s really all it has going for it. Plus the scent is odd. Not bad, but it is kind of a masculine scent. A weird choice for a tea mask in my opinion. If you are on the hunt for a hydrating wet mask, I recommend the Honey Mask by Iโ€™m From. It is fantastic and always leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. Or you could always just opt for a sheet mask too. Either way, I think both of those options would give you better results then this green tea mask.

Notes

Just not for me. Maybe would work better for someone with oily skin. I wanted more hydration. I didn't notice a difference. Plus the scent is odd. Not bad, but it's kind of a masculine scent. Odd choice for a tea mask in my opinion.
