This mask is really awesome. I've been looking for a good mask for a while now due to some acne issues I've been struggling with and it has really helped. It doesn't irritate my skin and I even use it as an overnight mask on any troubled areas. When you wash it off, your skin feels soft and refreshed. I highly recommend it!

My favorite deep cleansing mask ever! It will not become dry on face even for a long time! And do the clean very well! Highly recommend! Only one drawback is difficult to remove & clean....
I am a guy that cares A LOT about my skin! So I've been using this once a week for years. My skin has never looked more refined but fresh and radiant! And sometimes I leave it on for up to 2 hours while watching tv. That shows how gentle it on the skin. I'm into good quality, concentrated skin care and this is a part of my routine! A little bit of this mud mask goes a long way so it lasts for months. Great when having a spa night at home!

Prosmessy, overpriced
Ok, I have read lots of glorious reviews about this mask before buying it. I am in my middle thirties and straggling with adult acne for the last four months. Basically my last acne outbreak is truly the worst of my lifetime (believe me, it's not a couple of pimples before the period: it's much, much worse...all the time). I did not expect this mask to fix my acne. But it's always a good idea to use non-drying face care after thirty and especially while using medicated acne treatments that are drying by nature. I tell ahead that this clay mask did NOT clog my pores. Below I am going to list the reasons why I gave this Detox mask one star.
My main complain is the mess it creates while using it. The Mask's texture is a bit of greasy-gooey and color is greyish-dark blueish. After I applied a generous amount of it onto my cleansed face, I noticed that I had great difficulties washing it of my hands (even using soap!). My hands had grey tint, and at the closer look the mask particles were stuck in those thin lines of my fingers. Reading reviews, I did learn not to use white wash cloth to remove the mask. Instead I used large cotton pads for removing makeup. THIS MASK LEAVES GREY TINT ON THE SKIN! It means your pores are NOT clean. I had to use heavy duty cleansing balm to remove this mask. And lot's of toner afterwords to make sure that my skin is clean.
After using Detox Clay Mask with Rosemary and Honey from Chantecaille skin on my face was very smooth and soft, but it feels this way every time I use my cleansing balm. I did not see any difference in my skin tone neither right after this mask or the next day. And using cleansing balm after masking makes no sense to apply mask on my face to begin with. It did not eliminate blemishes or blackheads. It simply did nothing, but a mess in my bathroom. Needless to say, the sink basing in my bathroom needed to be cleaned...
If you are looking for a similar cleansing and non-drying mask, you may try Revive Masque de Glaise. It certainly costs more ($145) but it comes in 5oz instead of Chantecaillle 1.7oz for $75. Masque de Glaise has similar color, but different texture, and washes with water beautifully. And yes, Chantecaille mask is going back.
