For a brief moment I
thought this was the one. The mask that would end my search for a product that would
get rid of the impurities and leave my pores squeaky clean. But alas, it was
not to be.
The mask is
grey with a blue tint, grainy, and THICK. So thick that is a rather difficult
to apply. Once applied, I felt a slight tingling, and thought, this must be working. Plus, it contains
Koalin clay, an ingredient well-known for its cleansing and absorbent properties.
So it has to work, right?!
It dried in
the recommend 10 to 15 minutes. There was no mistaking whether or not I needed
to wash it off because this thing dried as hard as concrete. It was very uncomfortable
as I could feel it pulling my skin. The worst part is that I could not get it
off! I tried warm water and a wash-cloth but it just would not rinse off. I
could see little white spots of leftover mask all over my T-zone wear my pores
are a bit enlarged. I had to wash my
face with a cleansing gel to remove the whitish residue left all over my face.
Despite these
cons, I was still impressed with the refreshing, tingling sensation I got when
I applied the mask (silly me), so I held out hope that it would help to unclog the pores in my t-zone. I tried the
mask 7 more times over a period of 4 weeks, but saw no improvements. Needless
to say I had to accept defeat and toss this one aside.
I think this product
would serve best as an exfoliator, but based on my experience, I would not
recommend it as a deep cleansing mask for individuals with oily skin or
enlarged pores
