    Great mask! I ordered a sample on line and tried it last night. It did sting pretty badly for the first minute or so. But then the stinging subsided and I did leave it on for 15 minutes. Then I...

    Let me preface by stating that I love Paula's skin care line. I spent my teens and most of my twenties with painful acne. I did visit dermatologists on occasion. Also I achieved great results, I...

    After reading the reviews on here, I was hesitant to try this mask because I have somewhat sensitive skin. I expected my face to burn or be red but that did not happen. I left it on for the...

    WOW. I never really believed in masks before, but this one actually makes a difference immediately after use. I have really temperamental skin. Sometimes it dries out and becomes flaky all over....

    Tingles like hell for the first four minutes, but when I'm breaking out like mad, I use this a few times over a week's period and my skin inevitably clears up. Love it, love Paula's Choice!

    Ouch! This stung the crap out of my face. My skin is sensitive, but not overly so. My husband thinks it helps dry him up (he's oily) but clay masks do a better job for me and aren't as irritating.

    The first time I tried this product it made my face sting so badly that I only left it on for about 3 minutes. It did make my face feel soft and less oily, though, so I thought I would try it...

    I bought this based on the good reviews, but after I finish the tube, am not going to purchase again. I consider my skin kinda "tough", but this mask stings. In the past, I'd just ignore the...

    I love this mask! It leaves my skin feeling soft and helps calm the redness from acne and scars. It also absorbs oil without drying. It tingles a little and the color is scary, but I never planned...

    Really really good mask, gets rid of oil and minimizes the blackheads on my nose and chin. I use it once a week and it is great. Doesn't burn or tingle at all. Will repurchase.
