I have suffered with moderately severe, inflammatory acne for over 7 years now. I was able to keep it under control with antibiotics and topical retinoids until January 2011 when my skin just exploded. I used a facewash that did not agree with my skin and not even my prescription medication could help decongest my pores. I started using this product at the end of February 2011 when my skin was in the worst condition it had even been. My entire face was broken out, even my eyebrows. This product really helped to decongest my pores. I have been using it at night, every night for the past three weeks. I mix it with a few drops of tea tree oil and I use either rose water or witch hazel to make a paste of it. I know that most people recommend that you don't use a clay mask more than once or twice a week, but my pores were all so blocked that I would have at least 10-15 new pimples each day. My skin is also desensitized due to years of Retin-A usage as well as super-oily, so it did not cause any irritation. When everything is 100% better, I do intend to reduce my usage to every other day and then down to once or twice a week. I have found that the clay shortens the lifespan of even those red, inflammed bumps that never come to a head and usually last at least a week to about 2-3 days. It also helps it to heal without leaving a very hyperpigmented spot where the acne was. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone suffering from severe acne and has found that prescription drugs are not giving the desired impact.

I purchased this face mask, along with the green and rose varieties, when Burt's Bees stopped making their Green Goddess face mask. I was looking for a new clay mask...and I found it! While I like the green and rose clay masks, this one is my favorite. I have problems with moderate to severe whiteheads and red,raised bumps on my face. This mask dries up my whiteheads without drying out my combination skin and DRASTICALLY reduces redness in my face. I am a frequent face mask user and this has become my favorite one!
