Editor Review

Rated a 6

I use this simple kaolin clay mask sometimes when I'm home alone, puttering about in my PJs. It lacks a noticeable scent or exfoliating elements, but it soaks up oil effectively. After 10 minutes, skin feels dry and super-taut. Whether the spackle-like mask deep cleans, lifts away dead skin cells and stimulates collagen is debatable, but a good, warm rinse leave cheeks firm and smooth. Dry skin types, beware. This may be too drying.

    smaller pores!

    by MiSTRESSxGLAM (1 review)
    So, after my normal cleansing routine i noticed that my pores were still significantly large and open for dirt and grim so i needed something stronger than toner to close them, but gentle enough to not strip my face. I was familiar with the St Ives products so i decided to try this mask. I LOVED It. It did everythhing i nee...ded it to with a few extra pluses...it closed my pores leaving my face feeling tighter than before, AND it made my face super soft!!! i hadnt even moisturized yet and it felt like porcelain smooth. i recommend using right before bed maybe twice a week. also keep in mind..a little goes a long way with this product. Yes, it's a mask..but it does the job with out having to be spread on like frosting on a cake =] April 6, 2008, 9:52 pm

    Cheap enough to give away if you hate it

    by KrisLT (30 reviews)

    This is only the third brand facial mask I've tried. The other two were samples included in a kit - I liked the other two better. Did my face feel any firmer after using St Ives? No. Did it feel any softer after using this product? Yes! Did it feel softer than the other two mask brands I used? Not really. The good news is, ...it's definitely cheap enough to try so if your face has seen as many rock concerts and late night drink parties as mine has seen and you suddenly wake up and realize Mother Nature has stolen your youth as she did mine (Cruel woman -that Mother Nature), this is definitely an inexpensive start. You can later graduate to the big boys if you need to. I wound up giving this to my 25 year old daughter. She says "it's not bad". In her world that means "I'll use it since it didn't cost me anything". Bottom line - average but cheap enough to try. February 26, 2008, 8:36 pm

    loving it!

    by anar89 (2 reviews)
    I love this mask! I use it once a week when i have 10 minutes to spare, just apply it, let it dry and rinse off, and in 10 minutes you have soft, smooth skin. Your pores a visibly smaller and it takes off all the oils and just makes your skin look absolutely gorgeous! April 13, 2009, 7:22 am

    great mask for a low price!

    by sarahmb (8 reviews)
    I don't think that my skin feels much "firmer" after using this mask, but it definitely feels very deep-cleaned and refreshed. A great pick-me-up! And you only have to use a little bit once a week, so the bottle will last for awhile. November 30, 2007, 12:11 pm

    Like It

    by WaffleA (25 reviews)
    For a drug store clay mask, it's very cheap & accessible. I bought mine on sale for $3.99 at my local drugstore. The first time I tried it, my face felt very fresh & awake. I try not to over use this or my face will lose moisture & become uncomfortably tight. I like the minty scent it has (very invigorating) but... it makes me want to use it more & more! If I really want a deep pore cleanse, I steam my face with a tub of hot water or hot towel & follow up with this mask. My pores are steamed & cleared while the mask closes my pores & tightens my skin. I am not very fond of the ingredients though but I can't let go just yet. November 16, 2009, 11:08 am

    Great Stuff

    by nestapleton (1 review)
    I think this works just as well as some very pricey brands I have tired, plus it goes on very smoothly & does not sting. (I really hate products that hurt when you apply them so it seems like torture while you wait for them to work.) This mask leaves st very clean and smooth. It works well as a spot treatment for acn...e too. June 19, 2009, 12:39 pm

    Love Love Love It!!!

    by chrissylynn1313 (28 reviews)
    Really good product!! Use this if you can find it!! I always bought it at Target, Walmart or Walgreens but nobody carries it anymore as of a few months ago : ( .....I have Rosacea and very sensative skin and this has always been my favorite facial cleaner! If you experience dryness after just apply some oil free mosturizer...! If you have a T Zone problem or oily skin you'll be addicted.... May 23, 2009, 9:17 am

    cheap yet great

    by Jacki1982 (21 reviews)
    This makes my face look so vibrant. It's not expensive but it's sooo amazing. I've been using this for probably almost 10yrs and I totally love it!! I love St. Ives. If I get sick or just want to have a more vibrant feel to my skin. I put this on and voila! It's amazing. March 27, 2009, 8:10 pm
