Title: I love it
Review: Okay, I am really in love with this stuff now, lol. I normally use a gel mask several times a week. It’s been a Korean collagen gel for a long time. Still, this time I wanted to try something different because I already get collagen daily through micro-needling, sonic massage, and supplementation. Enzymes are in my cleanser, but nothing else, so I thought this might be something nice to try.I love it. It’s kind of hard to explain, though. It is mildly acidic, but not as irritating to my skin as retinol, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide can be. I can go over the 5-minute specification without much if any skin irritation. It’s VERY nourishing and hydrating, which I wanted it to be so… YAY to that! But unlike other gel masks, this one does something a little different: it helps break up dirt and sebum in your pores, so when it gets rinsed off… perfect 10 skin. It even has helped minimize my pores a bit. But the major reason to use it isn’t that it helps keep pores clean or nourishes the skin. The major reason to use it: it makes your skin glow up like a lightbulb! More even skin tone, and definitely – visibly – brighter after just one treatment.It smells like papaya but I wouldn’t recommend eating it, lol. Kind of sticky feeling like glue with glucose mixed into it or something… first time I used a gel that was sticky and not just slippery. A little goes a long way. It can be a bit difficult to spread with a silicone applicator in comparison to other masks because of this… it’s thick and takes some work to thin and spread out. I recommend placing it in several places on your face to begin instead of just starting at one spot, then spreading all those out to cover the entire face. Easier that way!You can leave it on as long as you want… probably overnight even, though I haven’t tried that yet. I have sensitive skin though that has a lot of bad reactions to skincare products, and I’ve been able to keep it on for 15m so far. I haven’t tried any longer than that – don’t need it, actually, lol.I do highly recommend using a mud mask prior to using this mask if you want to avoid any chance of breakouts. This mask is very rich, and not only will you want your skin to soak up as much of it as possible, but also adding this on top of clogged pores might make them worse. This is not a one-shot or even a primary solution to clogged pores. It just helps break anything down that was too hard and stuck to get out of your pores before you used it. Follow up with a facial oil to keep it from becoming hard again, and you will be in the clear within a week of daily treatment.Highly recommended to any woman over 35 just for how well it brightens the complexion even when you’re tired. And also recommended to anyone that wants to use an acidic product like retinol, salicylic acid, etc. but has sensitive skin preventing it.

Title: Always keep this on hand!
Review: Such an amazing product, it may burn a tad but it’s nothing major and the results are always worth it! Leaves your skin feeling very smooth and silky and has a lovely scent to it as well. All you need is a good moisturizer for when you’ve completed your mask and cleanse & you’re good to go. An at home spa feeling! I use this once a week or once every 2 weeks, depending on how my skin is feeling.. but I highly recommend. If you have sensitive skin I’d be careful and be sure to monitor the time that you have it on because it DOES NOT dry on your skin. My skin is not to senstive so I leave it on 5 minutes or 7 if my skin is need of a deep treatment. Worth every penny!!

Title: Great mask for the price
Review: I’ve been using many other high end “luxury” natural brands – Tata Harper, Dr Alkaitis, May Lindstrom, etc – but am looking to save money and find some good masks that are non toxic and cost less. It’s hard to beat the Tata Harper exfoliating enzyme mask, that thing is like magic. But for inexpensive cost of this Alba Botanicals mask, it does a great job. The scent and color are nice and I felt a gentle tingling while it was on, but not too strong and no stinging. (I was expecting some pink/redness after, as I usually have for a short while after I wash these masks off, but that didn’t happen with this one.) It’s gentle yet effective. My skin was definitely a little smoother and softer afterwards, and my pores were less visible. I loved that my skin still felt cool and tingly up to an hour after, even after I’d slathered on my usually nightly homemade facial oil. If I needed bigger results – when my skin occasionally goes haywire – I would probably want something stronger. But for maintenance, gentle “clean up”, and after long flights, this mask is a winner! I will purchase it again when I’m done this first jar.ETA: I first tried this mask at night before bed. My skin was so soft and smooth when I woke up. Since this is a gel mask (doesn’t need to dry and its gel, so water won’t immediately dissolve it) – to amplify the effects you can put it on in the shower (for the steam effect to keep pores open) or use it as an actual steam mask (towel over head over hot bowl of water). I’ve done this with other gel masks and it makes a difference! Will do with this one next time.

Title: a keeper!!!
Review: So i was in the market for a masque ( i suffer from acne and i do have a lot of acne scars) when I came up upon this. After reading the ingredients and several reviews I decided to make the purchase. I liked the ingredients and I try to use effective yet gentle products on my skin and this sounded perfect. With this product a little goes a long way, so while the package may not be huge it will last you a while, it is easy to apply, does not run or drip and has no strong scents. I have notices my face feeling a tad warm when i apply the product but it is nothing uncomfortable or strong so I don’t mind. To remove the product from my face i simply rinse with water and another thing i like is that even though it’s thick it isn’t difficult to remove and isn’t difficult to rinse. I’ve noticed my skin feeling much healthier after use and I have a nice glow going on whenever I use this product.This is the first product I’ve used from the brand and I am impressed, i’m actually considering purchasing a few more items from them and trying them out.
