[make79]

Finally bought it. When it dried it smelled like the proactiv mask.

I think I am going to give this a shot. So can this be used as a cleanser then.... Did someone already say that, sorry didnt look through it all.. Im just scarred because I have heard people say this can cause an inital breakout...and that is the last thing I need.... But it does look good and people seem to love it. My pores suck so it would be nice to find something to help tighten them up a bit.

. Its a must buy or have or try and its only 2 -3 bucks and the bottle last couple of months

. And another thing it does not make my face red after I wash or feel stripped of its natural oils

. Just smooth and it reduces the size and the feel of the pimple. Yes it does, I am not lying. Just wanted to share with Yall. Give it a try you will like it = ) Yeah it can be used as a cleanser Tyler

Have they come out with a new formulation in recent years. I was a user several years ago. Liked the smell and think it really helped to dry breakouts but left my face very tight. Was worried about premature wrinkling so stopped. (Though this was in the days before I realized I should use moisturizer even if I had oily skin.)

My Neutrogenia On-The-Spot treatment already does a great job of keeping my acne at bay, so I don't think the mask was giving me any other additional benefits -- other than just making my skin feel tight right after I use it! But within a few hours of using it, my skin was back to its greasy self, just as is every day...
I think I need to try a clay mask, I think those are supposed to be better for oily skin

Mint Julep is a kaolin clay mask.

I love QHMJM is either the tube or the tub. I have been using it for years.

I love this stuff, it really cleans out the pores and it doesn't leave my cheeks feeling dry, just smooth and soft. I would love to find the tub version.

 

[mabelwan]

I just added it in my wishlist!

 

[SumtingSweet]

I adore this mask...I actually have it on at this very moment. It's excellent for clearing up pimples and blackheads. I broke out all over my chin this afternoon (I think its beacause of stress

) and this was the first thing I reached for. Yay for Queen Helene! (I need to meet her one day!

)

 

[janetsbreeze]

i love my QH mask! i've never tried it as a cleanser though - i might just have to go do that right now

Hi,

When I would do inexpensive "express facials" on clients who'd never experience having a facial before, I would use Queen Helene products.

Hi,

I am now a fan of "green" products as cosmetic applications. The best mask I've ever have done is a sour creme mask. Its way cheap and it works better than any other mask I've bought over the counter. I buy sour creme made with a live culture of enzymes (pretty much organic food stores would sell this) and simply place a nice layer (maybe 1-2 tablespoons of this stuff) on my fact at night. Actually this is what I do:

1) Place a warm/hot washcloth on my face to open up the pores

2) Smother 1-2 tablespoons of sour creme on face

3) Wait 10 minutes

4) Remove by placing warm/hot washcloth on face, then rub off

The enzymes from the culture acts as one of the best gentle and very effective facial peels. Your skin will feel so soft for more than a day or two and its good at taming acne. I am black, so I suffer from hyperpigmentation and this is more effective than any over-the-counter bleaching creme I've ever used and it works quicker too. It helps even out skintone.

For intense treatment, sleep with the sour creme on overnight, each night, for a week. The only downside to this is it can smell, so don't do it the morning of our you will smell like sour milk outside in the elements. There are tons of sour creme mask recipies on the internet which probably have other natural ingredients which helps tone done the smell.

How quickly does it work to get rid of hyperpigmentation?

 

[lael]

i love this product as a spot treatment! It shrinks blemishes overnight for me.

 

[4getmeNot]

I love this mask! I use it once a week, every Sunday night actually. It's a cheap but good product! It can't hurt to try it either for 3 bucks!

Where can you buy Queen Helene? I've bought the cholesterol treatment for my hair before at Sally Beauty Supply... I'm thinking that might be my best bet as I've never seen it in drugstores or Wal-Mart.
