I tried this, quite good. It will not make my face dry and not cause allergy even I have
sensitive skin.

Cheap and good!

This mask is still raved about on Makeup Alley.

It is great for a spot treatment if you have a spot. Clay is good for absorbing oil

Can be hard to find. In Canada; at health food stores. (Ask to have it ordered in.) I did buy it at Sally's but I no longer see it there.

Recently purchased at Ulta when I was in the US.

I'm always surprised at how inexpensive it is, only C$3.84! Shock Smile

I would rather use the aztec clay. Same stuff except it doesn't include zinc/kaolin/sulfur + ETC stuff (paraben :\ ).

It's also cheaper than the Julep Masque (lb/$).

You can get 2 lbs of it for $10.50 (as of 12/26/2012) on amazon.

Swanson also sells a mask called Bavarian Mask. Which 2 boxes last a whole year.

Now has a european clay as well which is touted to be pretty good. Don't think it's better than bentonite though.

LOL, this was the first mask I used as a teenager when I started to get acne. That was over 35 years ago! Suprised it is still around. I remember liking it, but as I got older I thought the more expensive stuff would be better.....not so much, I never found anything that actually got rid of my acne. Well, except menopause!

I went through a phase of trying to replace my more expensive items with drugstore ones that were getting raves. This mask was one I tried, and it left my skin red and irritated. Sad I was disappointed because I'd really wanted to like it.

I haven't seen this mask in a long time. If you like the mask, you should try their facial scrubs. Very gentle and yet effective.

I have tried the Queen Helene mask. Sulfur seems to really help with breakouts. Controls oily t-zone (with regular use).

I think this mask is better formulated.

-blemish-clarifying-mask $12.00 jar

I can't post links. It is under treatments under PSF (Pure Skin Formulations.)

Very reasonable cost and available at EDS. I have tried this and other PSF products. I have been very happy with the products.

I think I'm the only one that doesn't care for this. Its very unremarkable.. has a nice tingle to it but thats all. It seems harder to remove than other clay masks and makes my skin feel chalky.

OMG! I used this in High School. I kind of forgot about it. I think it might be a little harsh for me now.

I just purchased this recently, but been curious to try it for a long time. I agree it's overhyped. I've only used it a couple times and it just seems ok to me. I make my own clay masks and that works better for me, but the convenience is nice. I've only tried a couple other premade clay mask products, they were ok, but DIY is cheaper and better.

The product is nothing special, though the price is really friendly, the result is just so so. It dries out my skin rather than clean it.

I love the mud mask as well.. I have used it for years..it tightens my skin..just gives a great look before you go out. I buy the big jar at Sally Beauty.

If I were to put together a basket of my favorite beauty items..it would be in there.

Don't want to be a snob but $3.80 is rather inexpensive!
