I have had bad experiences in the past with masks because of my very pale, sensitive skin. Every mask I've tried has turned my face blotchy, red, and painful. Well - I was pleasantly surprised with this one! The texture is creamy but is meant to help fight zits (it also contains salicylic acid). It dried quickly. When I rinsed it off, my skin looked SO even-toned and smooth! The ruddiness was gone and my whole face glowed. The reason I gave it a 4 was because it stung a tiny bit around my nose. Otherwise, this is a great product for sensitive, oily skin.
