The first time I used this product before my evening routine, it caused a pretty severe reaction and my rosacea flared up quite badly on the areas where I had applied the masque. I decided to give it another shot the following week and that time there was no flare-up, and I haven't had problems with it since as long as I follow the instructions (do NOT leave on your skin for more than 5-10 minutes, and even 10 is pushing it). The masque starts to tingle and even burn when I leave it on for more than 5 minutes. The only way I'm able to get it completely off is by getting into the shower and having a constant stream of water on my face -- trying to get it off at the sink is pretty hellish.
Overall I'm very satisfied with this product; it does everything it says it will and leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth each time. It does a great job of smoothing out my nose, which has a lot of sebaceous filaments on it. Sometimes I only use it on my nose and T-zone, which also works great. I highly recommend this product for those who are willing to have their skin be a little irritated at first.
i loved the ordinary peeling solution so i bought this and it said not to use if your skin starts peeling i ignored that and my skin started peeling like crazy the product removed my blackheads but even through makeup my skin looked bad so i threw out this products
this could be just cause i have sensitive skin but I'm not sure, honestly if you do not have sensitive skin this probably works fine
This is a really powerful mask. It may be a holy grail for someone with very problematic skin. The combination with clay is maybe a little bit too harsh and irritating but it's bearable when you apply aloe vera gel afterwards. I feel like it really cleans my pores and prevents me from getting pimples. I have combination skin so I only apply this on T-zone.
