    I HAD THE SAMPLE. This had a tint that people will have mixed feelings about. If you wear makeup wait until after you wash your face because the tint could clash with the makeup. The good thing...

    I have tried 2 samples of this mask, and I cannot recommend to sensitive skin. I have a fair, combination skin. I don't have any allergies, but my skin to some ingredients could be very...

    This was a great product! I was so sad to see it go. I would put a little on my face underneath my foundation, and it would absorb oil all day. I would put my makeup on a 7 a.m., and my face...

    I prefer the newer Skin Balancing Mask to this for my oily/combination skin. I got this in a swap, so no complaints about price. I am not sure how old this product was, though. Visually, it...

    This mask definitely absorbed, but had a horrid smell, almost like an ingrediant in it had gone bad. I will continue using my homemade MoM & aspirin mask.

    I have combination skin--very oily T-zone, especially my nose, and drier (maybe normal) cheeks. I found that I cannot use this mask all over my face because it dries out my drier areas, including...

    I still have most of the 2 oz bottle I bought last summer. I tried it after Retin-A Micro and an especially humid summer made me greasier than the grease trap at Denny's. It DID absorb oil but...

    This mask is a very effective oil-absorber. I have sensitive skin that occasionally gets oily and/or breaks out around the T-zone. Just a very small amount of this mask spread thinly over problem...

    Tell me it's not true. I read that this, one of my favorite PC products, is on "Closeout" sale. My experience with Paula's products is either great or horrid, but this is one of the great ones. ...

    I was NOT impressed with this mask. It did absolutely nothing for my skin, and was pretty much impossible to get out of that crazy little bottle that all Paula's products seem to come in. Waste...

    This is the best mask in the world! I have very oily skin, and I use this as a full-on mask about twice a week. It sucks all the oil out of your face without drying you out. It's awesome as a...

    This is a really great, no-nonsense mask for oily skin. Of course my noise still oils up but it takes longer and there isn't as much oil. The mask also leaves my skin very soft and smooth though...

    Boy oh boy does this mask absorb oil!! The truth is, this mask is too strong for my combo/oily skin. But it works as promised which is why I rated it so highly. I only use it occasionally on my...

    It is just like slapping a white clay onto your face, it does not perform any "things" at all . Wont buy it again.

    I give this product four rating becuase it's a bit drying for my combo skin. I would like to buy Pauls's Carbon Mask which I think would be better for my skin.
