Mario Badescu Clay Face Mask for Men and Women, Pore Minimizer Skin Care Facial Mask Formulated with Nutrient-Rich Key Ingredients, Purifying and Hydrating Clay Mud for Face

I love my Mario Badescu products! I use this mask every other day and my skin tone is even, soft and i often get compliments on my skin. I find this product to be effective and the size is of great quality.

First off, I’m 50 with years of religiously studied and tailored skincare routines and my personal esthetician background experience. I have used this mask once a week so far and decided to add maybe a quarter of a pea-sized spot of this into my skincare cream for the daytime and have watched my forehead creases that bother me become less prominent and softer. I add a lot of stuff into my routine(estriol estrogen cream, raspberry seed oil, castor seed oil, sweet almond oil, natural coconut cream, volufiline, and a very high end anti aging cream containing hyaluronic acid for the day regimen). I combine that and add that tiniest amount of the mask to it and let that set in for about 25 mins before I get ready. At night I use retinol serum, raspberry seed oil, castor oil and coconut cream and wake up plumped every morning. I forgot to take before and after pics but I can tell you this mask has made my usual routine work better! As a nighttime mask you can use it once or twice a week. I did and after just under a week I’ve noticed great improvements and this is the only thing I newly added. I also have sensitive skin and this didn’t irritate it. I recommend this product and do eat a lot of fruits and veggies. Your skin WILL glow as a result in my opinion! :)

Supposedly Martha Stewart uses this brand. The mask is okay, nothing special. Won’t order again. Very drying.

This is an amazing oil control mask. I really only need to use it in the summer as my skin gets incredibly oily normally, but living in the north I actually get much dryer in the winter so I definitely don't use it as often. I've been using this for 6 months or so now and still have plenty left as you can see. I've read most of these reviews to see what others thought about it and the negative ones while true, they give the product the ability to do its work. Yes, the mask is watery as you can tell and can get quite messy. It's easy to clean up with a wet washcloth though...the liquidiness is due to the product settling. It's got a clay like substance that sinks to the bottom, so if you don't feel all the way down it will seem like straight water. I actually vigorously shake it up for a second and everything is well mixed. When I remove the cap, it's got a coating for the mask and what's in that cap is ALL I NEED for my whole face. As for the smell..no it isn't like frolicking in a freshly rained upon meadow of tulips and Poppys but if you don't use any product unless it smells good you're not giving your skin the best it deserves. GOOD SKINCARE SHOULD NOT SMELL GOOD! If it doesn't, it's generally a good indicator that the product is all natural and not too harsh for your skin. Fragrances are a lot of the time not natural, they can cause allergic reactions, and can be too harsh or strip the skin. Once you can warp your brain to understand all that stuff you'll never want to go a few hundred dollar Chanel product that smells like roses. (Not saying they have products that don't work at all! I'm just way more turned off by those synthetic scents now!) for the price, this is worth a try!

It's a great facemask. Little goes a long way so I think it'll last quite a long time. It dries fast once on the skin, doesn't sting, washes off easily. Leaves my skin soft and visibly brighter after just one use. It doesn't smell bad to me, it has a light minty smell, it's not a strong scent. It's consistency is kind of like a watery mud..? Not as firm as a mud mask but not gel like either. I'd definitely buy again, great value for money.

It definitely did help clean my skin and keep the moisture in, but I don't think this is something that I would use often, just for the fear of clogging my pores when I have to wash off the mask afterwards. It also doesn't really have an extra plasticky piece to seal in the moisture, so I've been noticing that the mask has started to dry out in the jar.

This is the best face mask ever for my mature skin! Instant difference that I can feel and see. Martha Stewart, who has fantastic skin, is said to use this as well. Even though she can afford much more expensive ones. It really is a great value for skincare.

A gentle clay mask that will not leave your skin red and depleted, it has a hydrating quality that makes it nice on the skin. Better than a harsh charcoal mask, and cleans clogged pores. Also good value at $20, it will last a month or more if used once a week.
