this is a great mask! it goes on with a tingling feeling and does basically everything it promises. it is a great overnight spot treatment for large pimples (especially those under-the-skin cystic ones), it smooths your skin, and it does not rinse away your blackheads but really pulls them to the surface (you should then use a pore strip to get rid of the gross black/white heads that surface). you get a lot of this for a cheap price, what's not to love?!
