Not for my skin.

I used this brightening mask on my cheeks and I really liked how easy it was to apply. I left it on for the reccomended ten minutes and like most clay masks I have used in the past it left my skin feeling really tight until I rinsed it off. It did give a slight tingly, burning sensation which lasted for quite a while after removing and it left my skin red and irritated. Perhaps this wasnt good for my normal to combination skin and would be better suited for someone with oilier skin. As for cleaning out the pores I already have very small refined pores so I didnt see the difference in that regards. This is a brightening mask but unfortunately it irritated my skin and left it looking red and ruddy so it is a pass for me. Since it is a very affordable price and got very good reviews I would reccomend others to try it and see if it works for them.
