What They Say: "A deep, pore controlling and normalizing mask formulated with carefully selected botanicals to regulate and balance excess sebum and promote healing of blemishes. Acneic and problem skin types should use 1-2 times a week. Active Ingredients are wasabi (fights bacteria and is deeply cleansing) and vitamin E (anti-aging, moisturizing, antioxidant properties)."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I really do love this mask. In addition to having an incredibly nice and subtle non-fragrance-like scent, it feels instantly cooling and calming on my skin. Leaving it on for 10-15 minutes is not uncomfortable at all, as this formula feels almost whipped in texture. I noticed after I rinsed it off that some sensitive areas on my face and a couple of "almost pimples" that were trying to peek out had calmed down. My skin was so refreshed. I did feel the need to go ahead and apply moisturizer afterward, but that was okay. I can't say that if you have very difficult problem skin that this will completely eliminate that for you, but I can say that when you use it you just KNOW you are doing something very good for your skin. I swear mine was more supple after use. You also get a sufficient amount of product, enough to last for several months worth of usage or more.

*Updated to add: I wouldn't recommend this for very dry skin, because of the ingredients' pore-tightening and sebum-reducing properties. You just may feel like all the moisture you want to try to keep in your skin gets sucked out! But for oily/problem skin this is better-suited.
