I LOVE this mask. I've got very oily skin, and whenever I'm having trouble with breakouts, I use this mask. It really peels off excess dead skin cells, leaving my face baby-soft. With new skin exposed, this allows my acne medicine to work even better. This mask is not for the faint-hearted; it IS uncomfortable to peel off, but for me, it's totally worth a little bit of pain to know I'm getting rid of all the gunk clogging up my pores. I highly recommend this mask!
