I've been using the Fango for over 5 years and love it!!!! I use it at least once a week as my normal facial mask. I've also learned it has other uses other than a mask. It can be used to soothe surface burns (although I probably wouldnt use it on sunburn) and poison oak and/or ivy. My brother accidently found himself in some poison oak right before my sister's wedding and I put this on his arm - it healed in no time! Not in time for the wedding, but faster than it would otherwise. I will say, however, the first time I used it there was a strong tingling sensation, but afterwards my skin felt clean and refreshed. Also, since it lasts so long, should it dry out - just add some water. If youre wanting to try this product, I say go for it! If you dont like how it makes your skin feel, then you have something to help treat minor bumps, burns, and even poison oak!!! And who couldnt use some of that on occasion?!

Oh! One more thing: it comes in a squeeze tube as well - dont get that. It dries out quickly and when you try to add water, its a mess! The jar is best!

I use it as a cleansing mask, it is very strong and smells good. I like it, but I think it is too strong for sensitive skin, sometimes make my face a little painful.

Be careful when purchasing this item - Borghese Fango Active Mud for Face & Body (17.6 oz - 500 g). There are four varieties of this item for use on skin - for delicate dry skin (Fango Delicato), Fango Restorativo, Fango Brilliante (puts the "pink back in your skin"), and the original. The ad for this product shows the original but it came in as Fango Delicato. Since we would have purchased this product any way, it was no problem. However, the ad should display this important detail.

This is one of few products that I would recomend to all women at any age except you have super sensitive skin. I use this once or twice a week. Just apply on your face after removed makeup, wait 5 to 10 minutes as watching TV. I love the smell of the mud and it's really relaxing. Your skin feels all the good stuff in the mud kicking in to your skin.
Then go get some wet kitchen papers and wipe it off. (Kitchen paper really works! No mess, no mud on your sink compared with rinse off with water.)Result? Just great!!(See it for yourself, you'll love the instant result.) As someone else wrote one jar lasts 2 years or more easily. (There's a smaller size, if you are not sure about it then you might want to buy a small one first and use it for a year.)

Make sure you put a fairly thick layer on your face. It works best when the mud is wet and when the tingling feeling lasts for a while. I discovered how different my skin looked when I started to apply larger amounts.

it's awesome! I noticed improvements in my skin's tone and texture after the first use. I am excited to see what this product will do with continued use!

I absolutely love this product! I have been using it off and on since I was a kid. I am in my 30's, have very oily, sensitive acne-prone skin and this product works wonders. I apply it very thick and leave on for 20-30 minutes, never letting it dry out. Then I wash it off with warm water and my skin looks so much tighter and smoother, pores and lines are all smaller. This mud can make your skin look red for a little while after use, so I don't recommend using right before you go out if you have sensitive skin. Overall, it's a great product and you get a lot of it for the price. One thing I have noticed-it seems to stain a wash cloth, so I would advise using the sponge when removing.

I've used this product twice, just to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke. I've used many bentonite-based clay mask before and never had a problem, but this made me ill. My skin burned, and the second time I got a bad headache in my sinuses that lasted 24 hours. And yes, I washed it off within the 5 minutes recommended. Looking at the ingredients, I don't see anything obvious that I would be allergic to, but maybe it's just the "fragrance", whatever it is. And, no, I'm not seriously chemically sensitive, not that I've noticed. But this product makes me ill, and I won't be using again. I just wish I didn't have a mostly full tub of it sitting in my bathroom.

I am fan of face masques because they make my tired face feel refreshed and rejuvenated feeling and this product is one of the best I have tried so far. I have tried various other brands before, but some take a long time to dry, others become itchy as they dry, but Borhese is comfortable to wear and the consistency makes application and clean up easy. Mine came with an applicator sponge, but I feel that I would waste too much and just use my fingers to apply it. Like other reviewers I have noticed some skin sensativity after use, but applying a nice moisturizer with shea butter usually takes care of the problem quickly. This item comes in a very attractive box and so would also make a nice gift that is easy to wrap. I like the glass jar much better than other brands that come in a tube because it is easier to use and you need only take how much you need at a time preventing waste.

I am very glad that I bought this mud for my wife as a gift. After using it, my wife was fully satisfied and very happy.
