Great product should have 6 stars!
-05.05.13
Quick Take: healing, calming
Probably my 4th or 5th time purchasing. Great as a spot treatment for blemishes. Also, I recently have had several laser treatments resulting in dark purple bruises. When I used mask on blemish near bruised area I noticed those bruises FADED SIGNIFICANTLY - probably due to increased circulation. Mentioned this to dermatologist and he said he loves umbiran clay as an ingredient. Used it all over bruised areas after last treatment and they faded so much faster! I love this product.

Soothing!
-04.30.13
Quick Take: mild exfoliating
I've used this as a mask and a cleanser. Its a bit much for daily use, but I really like it as a mask or extra cleansing for those days after I accidentally slept in my makeup. Super soothing. My redness disappears after using this!

Not bad for a daily face cleanser...
-04.27.13
Okay, so maybe I expected a little more from this product because I've heard so many raving reviews about it. For me, the only thing I like about it is using it as a mask. I am fortunate to have very little skin problem other than dryness, so It's great that it doesn't over-dry my skin, but leaves it feeling soft and moist afterwards. I use a different face wash to remove my makeup because this obviously does not lather, and then I use this to clean my skin a second time but more so to hydrate while doing so.

Surprising
-04.11.13
I've been using this product for 2+ weeks now and my sensitive, acne-prone skin is now clear, smooth, soft and even-toned, which is amazing for me to say (!) I prefer using it as a twice-daily cleanser because the mask method was a bit too drying for me. The colour (sort of a baby puke green) might throw you off at first, but it's worth putting up with.

Worth EVERY penny
-04.02.13
EVERY Fresh product, while most are expensive, are worth EVERY CENT. I hope they never change or discontinue ANY products - or become commercialized and change them.
Although I have many masks (and I love every one of them in their own way), this one is one of my favorites. BY FAR.
Not only is it versatile (can be used as a face wash, spot treatment AND mask), but it works WONDERS. I have yet to use it as a face wash, because I have many of those, and this is to expensive (I think) to be used as such, every other way I've used it, it's been HIGHLY effective.
I actually just done using it (I use it about once every other week), and my face is SO SOFT. And even though it's an exfoliator, my redness has even gone away with every use.....which is unusual for an exfoliator.
I wish that I could use this EVERY day. I have to say, I have EVERY one of their masks (the most expensive being $95), and I will CONTINUE buying them. I have had all of them, except this one, for over a year. A little goes a long way - and I don't use them much because of the price.
I love every fresh product from bath stuff - to lip stuff (which is ALSO amazing). I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT LINE!!!!!

gets the job done
-03.31.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, effective, earthy
I like this product a lot since it functions as a cleanser and masks with exfoliating properties. I use it as a spot treatment whenever I feel a pimple coming on, and it's very effective. I also recommend the Umbrian Bar since it's all natural

I expected more
-03.23.13
I use a lot of masks and facial treatments. I read the reviews for this and though I'd try it but it doesnt really satisfy my expectations. It gets too dry, almost stretching my skin with it when it dries. Also I dont see/feel any noticeable difference.

Pores and Combo Skin
-03.15.13
Quick Take: oil-absorbing, soothing, for large pores
I have skin of all extremes - dry, very oily, some acne, and large pores in my T-zone. I bought this product because of all the other great reviews on here, and because I am a strong believer in the benefits of clay (kaolin or umbrian) products for the skin! This treatment as a mask is amazing! It dried onto my skin very quickly which I liked because I don't like ones that are super watery and diluted and take forever to dry and start 'working'. Because of this, it was instantly mattifying and really soothing on my skin.
I honestly could feel the mask working at getting the gunk out of my pores ... it was the same feeling as when I put a pore strip on my nose ... a sort of tingly feeling. I've been trying to find a product to reduce my pore size for forever, and I know that scientifically that it is impossible for the pores to actually shrink, however somehow I actually think this has made a noticeable difference in my pore size! On top of this, my skin the next morning was positively glowing ... like my complexion seemed healthy!! Not something I have come across in all my millions of face products purchased over the last several years!
Get this treatment! It will change your life ... and your skin! Two thumbs up!

great as a spot treatment
-02.16.13
Quick Take: milky
I apply a small dot of this whenever I have a zit and it goes away overnight! I do not have actual acne, so I don't know how it would work with that, but it is great on the occasional zit. I will also definitely start using it as a daily cleanser as I've read great reviews.

Sooths & Clears
-01.16.13
Quick Take: milky, exfoliating
I had horrible cystic acne in high school that even Accutane couldn't completely cure. I was on the pill for most of college and after it, and my skin never had any problems. But since going off the pill a couple of years ago, my skin has been difficult to manage/control (not as bad as high school, but still annoying and embarrassing for a 26-year-old). I started using this as a twice-daily face wash in October and while I might have the very occasional zit, my skins has largely been very clear. My pores are smaller, my skin is softer, and it just feels better. Pricey, but worth it.

Umbrian Clay Face Treatment
-01.12.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
This product definitely helps clear up breakouts. I have very sensitive skin that becomes very dry easily and also breaks out sometimes, and this helped clear up the breakouts. If I use this product often, my skin becomes a little too dry (also depending on the weather, etc). However, this would probably be perfect for someone with more normal/combination skin, or as a spot treatment.

Disappointing
-01.04.13
I have not found this product to benefit my skin at all. If there are any benefits to using this product, it is too small to notice and definitely not enough to prevent future blemishes. This is far too expensive for the little to no benefit I have received.

I use this product 3 times a week as a mask. I leave it on for 5 minutes, wash it off and asleep and the next day my pimples are noticeably smaller. I even use it as a spot treatment. Your pores become smaller also.
