AcneFree Acne Clearing Mask, 3.5% Sulfur Acne Treatment, Absorbs Excess Oil and Unclogs Pores with Vitamin C, Bentonite, and Zinc, 1.7 Ounce

I've been using the AcneFree Acne Clearing Mask for a few months, and it's made a noticeable difference. The 3.5% sulfur helps reduce breakouts, and it really absorbs excess oil without drying out my skin. I love that it also has vitamin C and zinc my skin feels cleaner and looks brighter. Definitely a must have in my skincare routine!

The AcneFree Acne Clearing Mask works great at unclogging pores — you can actually see it pulling out oil and gunk! I mainly use it on my nose to keep stubborn whiteheads away, and it’s been super effective. It has no bad odor, applies smoothly, and is really easy to use. Definitely a go-to for targeting oily areas and keeping pores clear!

I really like this as a spot treatment & for the t-zone. It works well & shrinks any breakout bump. Skin feels clean w/o feeling stripped or over exfoliated. I have very sensitive combination skin. I use Retinoid/Retina & AHA/BHA products and there was no adverse interaction with using one after the other or vs. versa with my skin & again I have pretty sensitive skin. I am not really sure of the blue beads in this; some dissolve but most just stay a hard. I suspect the bead is the copper & vitamin E ingredients in the mask, so it would be nice for the beads to dissolve more readily to get that benefit (although not sure of the type of Vit e & copper used, so it may be a good thing they don’t desolve 😉🙃). The mask itself is really great overall; especially for the t-zone area or as a spot treatment w/o stripping or over-drying (aka doesn’t seem to damage the skin barrier while the sulfur goes to work). Smell is very subtle sulfur but nothing which would impede me from using this mask as a regular adjunct product in my skin routine (as far as a mask or spot treatment, used as needed dependent on the state of my skin). Plus less fragrance to try to hide the sulfur in my opinion, the better; fragrances are notorious skin irritates which we often overlook as such. The tube is small but don’t let that deter you from getting this little gem of a product; it’s cost is low per ounce overall (in comparison to some similar products) & this tube actually lasts (with the way I use it) a decent amount of time.

Edit: This review only applies to the old formula of this product. The new formula I just received does not turn blue at all.This listing makes it sound like the mask turns blue on its own after it sits on your skin for a while - this is not the case. The comments make it sounds like the mask doesn't turn blue at all - this is also not the case. The mask turns blue (and needs to turn blue to be fully activated), but you must follow the right steps.The instructions on the package have you apply the mask to wet skin (important) and massage it until the mask turns blue. You then leave the blue mask on for 10 minutes before washing it off.What happens is that there are little blue beads in the mask. The water on your skin of pressure of massaging crushes/dissolves these little blue beads and mixes them with white portion of the mask to turn it a light sky blue. Sometimes you need to find and intentionally crush the little blue beads with your fingers. Mixing the blue beads into the white portion of the mask activates the ingredients - the mask is not as effective if it is not fully activated.It is a small bottle and the mask is a thick consistency. However, applying it to a wet face does make the amount go further than you'd think.With that PSA out of the way I'd like to say that this mask has been a game changer for my skin. I'm currently using it daily on my whole face and I'm seeing real improvement in my severe acne. I may be able to use it less often to maintain once my skin is clear.

Skin feeling soft and effective furnace treatment, it takes time though but now I feel great.

First of all, this product is GREAT for people who suffer with chronic acne/oily skin issues (unless you are allergic to sulfur). It tightens pores and is wonderful as an overall mask or just spot-treatment. It would rate 5 starts...However!Inevitably the tube splits at the bottom and causes the product to dry up and be useless. Typically I get to use half or less of the product which is unfortunate and makes it more expensive. I'd rather pay a *little* more for better packaging instead of doubling the cost by being forced to buy it twice as much.Other than that issue, this really has been one of the BEST products for my complexion!

Works on senior skin and does not dry I use only on nose and the surrounding area

I bought this mask while desperately searching for a spot treatment for my hormonal acne. My acne has flared up lately - I'm the type to usually have one active pimple a month, but lately it's skyrocketed to about 3 active pimples at a time. (Maybe not so bad for most acne-prone skin, but I didn't know how to deal with it!) I was wary that the mask would smell like sulfur - it has a FAINT smell but not enough to bother me, even when it was applied around my nose. I tried this mask for 5 nights in a row, massaged it into wet skin for a few minutes and then let it dry for a few minutes before taking it off (never letting it fully dry), and the results were amazing! Obviously it didn't clear up my acne 100% overnight, and I wasn't expecting that, but it did work faster than expected. Not only did it reduce the size and appearance of any active spots, it also helped fade the appearance of some post-breakout marks. I used the mask only on problem areas for the first 2 nights, then used it all over my face the next 3 for exfoliating benefits. It never dried out my face noticeably, but I did follow up the mask with CeraVe moisturizing cream and rosehip oil every night. Overall I'm really satisfied with the product - it worked better than expected and has consistently provided good results so far.
