This is a terrific product. When I was much younger I was a model (both print and runway). One of the "tricks of the trade" used to keep skin fresh looking and healthy - for both men and women - in my profession was Queen Helene. We had info. and access to the best products available, but always came back to this one.

Don't waste your money on overpriced masques; this is the real deal! Great for all types of skin. Queen Helene products have stood the test of time and will make you look wonderful. Great prices, too!

This is one of the only beauty products I've ever found that ACTUALLY DOES WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO. It removes oil and blackheads like nothing else, and HOLY COW, IT ACTUALLY DOES SHRINK HUGE PORES!

I am "blessed" with really large pores -- enormous might be a better word, and I've always felt self-conscious about them. Whenever I'm going to go out, though, I apply the mint julep masque and give it plenty of time to thoroughly dry. I've been using it regularly for about a year and I am still thrilled to see how tight it makes my pores, and how smooth it makes my skin appear. Of course the effect is not permanent -- I've found that it lasts for about six to eight hours. I can extend the shrunken-pore look by a few hours by frequently blotting my face with blotting papers.

My skin is extremely oily -- you don't even want to know how oily. As a result, I've always had acne that is impossible to control. I'm 30 now, and have struggled badly with acne since my early teens. This product has significantly improved my acne situation, primarily by helping to extract blackheads -- it never quite gets all of them, but it definitely removes a significant amount. The rest I am able to get out by manually extracting them. Plus, the way it sucks up oil -- oh my gosh, it's amazing.

I use it three or four times per week, but in the past during really bad skin times I've used it as often as twice per day. It is a great product. I use it along with daily niacin and zinc supplements, Cetaphil cleanser, and daily use of a 10% glycolic acid lotion to finally, finally achieve great, healthy, ALMOST-clear skin. I love this product!

I tried other Queen Helene products and bought this one for my husband as he has dry skin problem. So, one day I decided to give it a try though I have combination skin. First of all, I loved the rose smell and it didn't cause any breakouts or bad reaction to my skin. After I washed my face, I was almost gonna cry as my face become very smooth. This mud masque even cleared some blackheads. I thought only the Mint Julep masque and the other peel off mask by QH does that. I am very happy about this product and now planning to buy the big jar so it can last longer. If I had known about Queen Helen products in my teens,then I would start using them right after I had my very first breakouts. I am confident that within couple months, my oily and acne prone skin would become clearer and brighter. I am happy that all QH products are very cheap and affordable unlike those organic products out there. So give it a try and you won't regret your purchase.

If you have problem skin, there is nothing you can buy that will exceed this mask. I was having my makeup done at a Chanel counter and was asked what I did to keep to keep my skin so clear. When I told her, sort of embarrassedly, that I used this mask, she smiled knowingly and said "I tell all my clients to use it." This, coming from someone who works for one of the more-sophisticated skin care brands out there.

You put it on, and within minutes it has literally vacuumed your pores. I don't know what is in this stuff and frankly, I don't care. I'm 26 and I'm still dealing with acne--this is the only product that knocks out a breakout with no fuss. I'm in med school so I have zero time to fret about the status of my skin. I slap this on, study, take a break to take it off and voila. Invisible pores, shrunken zits, the works. If I could give it 50 stars I would. And, can it get any cheaper than this for a skin care product that WORKS? Probably not.

A little goes a long way, I don't put a thick layer on my face and it still has the same effect. It feels funny on my skin at first but after rinsing it I can really feel it making my face tight, I feel very refreshed after using it! After a hard days work, use this and you will feel very refreshed right away!

I enjoy using this once or twice for my facial and love it! It's recommend if you need some pamper and don't judge it's prices. It's smell nice and turn harden as I leave it on for awhile then wash it out, result in smooth, simple nice smell on my skin. =)

I am 23. I never had acne until recently due to a hormonal disorder. I now have a small amount of scarring (red & slightly pocked) on one side of my face. My friend gave me a bottle of this & WOW! It is so wonderful. I use it every few days & my skin just glows.

My skin type: oily T-zone yet dry with medium sized pores. This does NOT dry out my skin at all & it reduces the oil as well as the size of my pores. It also really helps clear pimples as well as pimples that are already dried out/ flaky- it REALLY speeds the healing process.

Of course everyone has a different skin types but I think I have found a product that I will use FOR LIFE. I have tried all sorts of produts- Neutrogena, Aveeno, Clean & Clear, L'Oreal, LANCOME, Arbonne, Mary Kay, Clinique & more. This is by far my favorite of everything I have tried, even over the ones that I already loved.

Thanks to this I have clear skin, smaller pores & a MUCH more even skin tone!

I seriously love this mask. It smells sooo good (like roses), and it's not too harsh on my face. My face feels so fresh after I use it, it's like a salon experience.
Love it. It's cheap too!

****Update - January 2012****
So I've had this mud mask since Oct '11, and I still have yet to finish it :) This tube lasts forever, even though I've been using it a few times a week. I still love it and one thing I've noticed is that my face looks a lot clearer. I've also purchased the Mint one, which helps with pimples and shrinks pores. I don't know why I haven't been using these masks all my life.... but I'm 21 so I guess it's not too late!

This mask is amazing! When I use it, I feel exactly as refreshed as if I had a salon facial! :) I recommend it very happily.

I love this product!!! It has the most AMAZING mint smell EVER, and you can actually feel it pulling out the dirt and junk out of your skin. The only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5 is because depending on the products you use and your skin type, the first minute the mask is on can sting a tad. I found it bothersome the first time I used it, but the second and after that were great!!! I will buy this product again!
