My sister recommended this product to me and I thought I would try it because it is a very reasonable price. This mask is not for the faint-hearted or sensitive-skinned. It is very abrasive, and does a fantastic job in removing impurities, black heads and anything else sitting on the surface on your skin. I would not recommend that you use this mask more than once a week - and be sure to moisturise properly afterwards. Nonetheless this mask is great and certainly does what it claims to do .
