I had what was probably a similar experience to many others, the feeling of horror when I saw how bad my face looked the first time on a video call with a hi-def camera. I've never spent much time on facial care but even that had slipped while working from home.I have oily, acne prone skin. I keep the blemishes at bay with 10% benzoyl peroxide applied at night, but I still get blackheads and ick accumulates in my pores too. Occasional use of pore strips on my nose resulted in broken blood vessels at the base of my nose on the sides. Soooo attractive. I tried one of those masks you drape over your face but it was awkward to put on because it was a little too big for my face and it didn't seem to do much.So I took a chance on this mask. I have sensitive skin, but fortunately it has not burned, created red patches, nor anything else that is bad. My skin is less oily for the rest of the day. With my acne under control, the mud hasn't drawn out any blemishes. For those of you who "get" blemishes after using it, I suggest you try using it for awhile longer, assuming it doesn't irritate your skin. The mask is probably not creating the blemishes, but is rather drawing out what is already under your skin and would have eventually made it to the surface anyway. They form deep down and take some time to rise.Has the mask made an overwhelming difference? The change is not huge, but it does make my skin appear brighter. On a video call my friend said she'd noticed this difference. I don't have blackheads any more. The tiny spoon applicator wasn't cutting it for me; I find it easier to use my fingers. I get better, more even coverage in this way. I use it 2 - 3 times per week. Even so, after several weeks, I haven't used much of the product. I think the jar will last for some time. I'm thinking of rotating it with a couple of other kinds of masks from this company and another.
