I have heard good things about this mask and the other products in the Astara line. This particular product was extremely irritating to my face however. The mask smells rather like Vick's VapoRub, and burns quite badly when first applied. My eyes were actually watering it burned so badly. I left the mask on for 10 minutes though just so no one could accuse me of not giving it a try. My pores and acne looked absolutely no different afterwards and the next day my acne was worse. Way worse. I cannot recommend this product to anyone, sensitive skin or not. It also contains cajeput oil which is listed as a known skin irritant.
