I also received Refining mask:
formulated with sulfur, this mask reaches deep down into pores where blemishes begin.
My take: Now it says for best results use for six weeks. i have not been using this for six weeks. it has helped out a little it has helped shrink down some of my existing acne, but i still get acne every now and agian. It says use morning and night, i have only been using once a day due to irritation of my skin if used 2 a day. It has helped a lot, I still have a lot of scaring from previous acne though. the refining mask is great, you leave it on for 10 minutes and it tightens and shrinks your pores. The only downside is it smells like sulfur and i could still smell it even after i washed it off. They also have another product i ‘ve seen advertised green tea mask!
overall i give this product a 9 out of 10, it did help with my existing acne, and made my face pretty much clear.
