It’s alright
I’m a huge fan of LRP products and have several in my routine but this mask just isn’t a stand out product for me.. I could easily go without or switch to another brand’s product. I just feel it really dries out my face and there’s no other noticeable impact on my skin using itNew addition that doesn’t disappoint
I’m only giving 4 stars as I’ve recently added this into my routine. This mask does the job: it unclogs and minimises pores, and brightens dull skin. Reduces shine on my skin which is very important for me. You can definitely see it working at clearing out pores. Love how it’s in a tube as well, minimises the mess versus other masks.Purifying
Face is purified and cleaned well with this but it dries the skin a lotCan I use this if I'm using Differin Adapalene 1mg/g cream (retinoid)?
Can I use this if I'm using Differin Adapalene 1mg/g cream (retinoid)? I Loved using once a week to keep skin looking fresh & pores tight but now I'm using adapalene cream 1-2 times a week.Not as good as this brands products usually are
I am very disappointed with this mask, doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything or having a positive impact on my skin. If anything I found to break out more after using it and that it makes my skin oily after use. There’s better mud masks for a similar price I’d rather buy than this one.Average
Not as purifying and deep as others I've tried, I still feel my skin could use more after this.good product
my skin felt smooth and clean after using this mask. when on sale i stock up on it! i highly recommendEffective mask
I find this mask to be quite clearing as a clay mask, I purchased it for a friend and she thought it was also very effectiveClearing
I bought this mask on recommendation from a few of the AB blogs and other IG posts. Plus the price point was very attractive. Pretty happy with the results, clears up the skin well and reduces the size of larger blackheads too. I've started using twice a week for my oily/combo skin that gets congestion under the surface. Definitely helps to regulate my oil production better.Not bad
It was ok... I would try for the price point but I definitely prefer the Innisfree volcanic mask over this.Nice and calming
Nice on skin cert calming but no major changes will keep using it. So far so good:)Bargain!
I bought this as a part of an effort to make my skin care routine a little bit less $$. I was worried it would be too drying on my skin but I love it - it has been just as good as the product I was previously using which was double the price! Nice and quick to use and I have found it very effective when used once or twice a week to keep my skin breakout free.Gentle clay mask
This is probably one of the most gentle clay masks I own, doesn't leave my skin feeling dry but more refreshed (worth noting that I have combination skin). I like to use this weekly, especially in warmer months to help with oily skin.Perfect
This is fast asking and affordable. I use it daily and my face has noticeably cleared up.Great!
Great mask ! There’s a visible difference after applying it . Skin appears clearer and brighter.Deep clean
Good product, gives a very deep clean. Can dry the skin out though.Deep clean
Good product, gives a very deep clean. Can dry the skin out though.So goooood
I LOVE this mask! Sorts your face right out - you can even be lazy and leave it on for ages without any problems. A must in my skincare routine!feels good, smells good
I expected high quality from La Roche-Posay, I have their sunscreen and I love it so I was confident I was going to love this too.
This mask feels really good on, doesn't sting but feels clean (you know?), it smells good which is an added bonus and you don't need a lot of it, so it will last you a while (maybe a $1 coin is enough for the whole face!! It is not like other masks where you nee...Read MoreNot good for dry skin
This gives my skin a deep clean but if I'm feeling dry it will dry out my skin. This is great for people with oily skin.does what it says
its a good mask if you want something that isnt too harsh, need to use really often to notice any differenceGreat staple product
Does exactly what it’s meant to do! Which is good since it’s such a reliable brand. I’ve owned the same bottle for maybe 5ish months, using it intermittently - once or twice a week at first and now probably much less. It’s quite gentle in texture for an anti blemish mask and you don’t need much product. It also only needs to be left on for short time, so it’s easy to put on before a shower, or how...Read MoreNot bad
Cleans my skin and dries my acne too but it also dries my skin unfortunately. I still use it but not as often.Just a clay mask
I bought this because I was using the rest of the Effaclar line. It's good, however it's just a clay mask, nothing particularly special about it. It works well, is a nice texture, good clay mask.Great for acne prone and sensitive skin
After using this product, I always notice my skin looks less red and blemishes look flatter and feels very smooth and hydrated. I have sensitive skin and this product has never been a problem for me.gentle mask
This mask is really good when my skin is feeling sore and congested. It gives my skin some time to calm and doesn't sting or burn on application. It doesn't seem to draw out the impurities as effectively as some other masks (I also use glam glow) but for me it feels like a combination of purifying and calming, so I really like it.a bit drying but good
I found this a bit drying on my skin but it did leave it feeling smooth and fresh. I just don't use it that often so it doesn't dry my skinWorked well
I love a mask and going to add this to my list of favourites. It is great for sensitive skin and noticed visible effects after use, would recommendAMAZING!
One of the best masks I have used. My skin feels amazing for days afterwards. I use twice a week in conjunction with the 3-step anti acne system and my skin looks better and better everyday. Highly recommend.Great for sensitive skin
This is one of the few masks that (1) really purifies your skin, and (2) doesn’t irritate and burn on application - great product!Great Mudmask for oily skin
I use this with the Effaclar Anti-Acne gel cleanser. It doesn't have the best smell but it works for acne and oily skin. The smell doesn't bother me as the product does what its meant to do.4th time purchasing
this mask has helped keep my breakouts at bay for over a year now! it says to use for 10 minutes but i found it actually works 100x better if i leave it on for 40 minutes. doesn't irritate at all, i wash it off with a gentle muslin cloth and lukewarm water and my face is super clear after!!! can't recommend enoughdid not like it
it made my skin red and it took forever to wash offFor acne
I’ve had this for a long time and I use regularly only on congested areas and it seems to help control a break outhorrible
I found this very drying and the smell was disgusting!For the blank canvas of your dreams!
This was one of the first face masks I ever used as an adult and I still use today! I apply it to clean skin in the evenings and let it dry into a clay-feeling cement on my face and neck and wipe it off with a warm damp towel. It leaves my skin with a blank canvas ready for my night time skin care steps. Wonderful product!not in love
this was my least favourite la Roche posey product! it smells awful and did nothing but dry out my skinGreat
This mask helps to control my sebum. I have combination skin type so I usually just apply it on my T zone. It helps to clear my acne and leave my skin clearer. Definitely recommend.Significantly reduces a breakout
This mask reduces the severity of my breakouts! It is pretty drying I found so I only use it on certain areas where I have pimples (usually t-zone and chin). Very happy with the results from this, definitely worth the money.Love
Such a nice mask. Comfortable while on your face and easy to rinse off. Didn’t dry my face out felt really clean and smoothLeaves my skin feeling good
Easy to use and leaves a clean, clear refreshed complexion. Happy with the price point, currently using it once a week and first tube has lasted ages.Perfect mask for oily skin
A go to mask for me and my oily skin! It leaves your skin feeling so soft, smooth and clean! Perfect for claiming breakouts, and cleaning out your pores.Leaves skin smooth and clean!
My go-to mask is usually Origins Charcoal mask but Mecca have increased the price + decreased the or quantity so it’s become less affordable.
I’ve just been using a large sample size of this and am adoring it so far, it’s very similar to my Origins mask but more affordable! It has a lovely texture, so easy to apply and leaves my oily skin really clean and clear. I will definitely be b...Read MoreHelps with blackheads and large pores
I have pretty dry/sensitive skin over most of my face except for around my nose, where I have more noticeable pores and blackheads, and I usually get breakouts consistently on my chin. This mask really helped with the large pore, blackheads, and my most of my breakout! I feel like my blackheads and pores have significantly reduced after using this mask, particularly after using pore strips before ...Read MoreGreat
This mask has saved my skin so many times during bad breakouts. It's an effective mask without being drying, doesn't have a strong fragrance, and comes in convenient packaging. If you have oily or combination skin, give this a try.Do yourself a favour
Get a clay mask! Clay evens out moisture and is smooth on the skin. I use this product often and I love it.Not good
This broke my skin out so badly and has a really strong floral smell that I really didn’t likeGreat face mask!
I love this mask! It feels great on the skin, and I feel like it makes a difference to my acne and other imperfections on my face after I use it. Not too drying either! I definitely recommend this face maskNot suit for dry skin
I bought it coz I have black head on my nose. I tried on my whole face and found it dry my cheek very quickly. I felt tight and uncomfortable after using. Now I use it only on my nose, it works well and has good value.Not great for dry skin!
I bought this to treat my hormonal breakouts and blackheads on my nose. It does feel very nice (texture, on the skin and to remove). However, it dried my skin out, which wasn't great for my already dry skin. I can imagine that this works well for oily skin! I didn't continue to use it for long enough to notice a difference to the hormonal breakouts and blackheads.Top quality mask
I bought this mask for my teeanage daughter who has sensitive skin along with acne. She has been on medication to treat acne and this product has been able to be used at the same time with no side effects. It is working wonders on her skin to keep it calm and take away the excess oil. Will definitely continue to purchase.Fantastic
This mask really helps keep my oily skin under control and has definitely softened my blackheads. It feels cleansing and isn't too drying. I definitely notice a difference in my skin when I remember to use it a couple of times a week.Best mask I’ve ever used
I’ve tried a lot of La Roche Posay products over the past couple of years and feel that there are some definite hits and misses in their range, but this face mask is definitely the biggest hit with me. I have oily, acne prone skin which has become normal-oily in recent years as I have perfected my skincare routine. If I’m having a breakout, I pop this mask on and I know that the next day, my skin ...Read MoreBest mask ever
Ever since using this my skin doesn’t break out anymore! brightens your skin too really well. This is the only mask that I will continue to buy foreverExcellent mask for acne prone skin
I have been using this mask for 2 weeks and it has made a remarkable difference, with less breakouts. It also doesn't dry out the skin. Most recommended.great mask
I have oily skin, so was looking for a product to help reduce that.
This mask was a great choice. Its clay based, which helps to suck up all the oils deep in my pores. It's not overly drying as its gentle, so my skin isnt over producing oil after I use it.
It leaves my skin extremely soft and looking clear. It feels firm but plump at the same time. I can see this tube las...Read Moregreat!
a good mask for congestion, makes my skin feel much clearer and less breakouts afterwards. only thing is I wish it didn't have fragranceGood for price
I picked this mask up as I have some clogged pores on my nose and chin. While this mask helped my skin to feel smooth after use, I dont believe that it has made a difference in the long term or to the size of my pores in those areas. I will continue to use this mask right before events or applying makeup as it does leave the skin feeling soft and very clean.Calms my irritated face
This mask is lovely and cooling and soothing on an irritated face. Skin feels calmer and under control after using, which I do about once a week. Feels as good as clay masks that are a lot more expensive. Very impressed with my LaRoche products so far and will continue to reorder as foundational skin care.So good!
I only use this about once a month, but I always see such great results every time! I’m not oily after use, and it definitely doesn’t make my skin dry at all. I find it helps with making my pores look smaller too.good product
really great for clearing congestion and blocked pores, my skin feels very clean and fresh afterwards, I wish it had no fragrance though!great mask!
My skin felt soft and clean after using this, it definitely helped get rid of blackheads! it also didn't dry my skin out at all, I am super happy with this product :)very nice
I love this mask! It has helped with my breakouts so much!
I have been using this twice a week for a couple of months now and my skin appear much brighter and clearer after washing it off.Miracle mask!!!
This mask was a true miracle!!!!!! Not even joking, my face has cleared up 10000000x since using it. I use this and then their redness serum for moisturising. Wow, is all I can say. My skin feel smooth, and the acne has halved in size. i used 1-2 times a week, and put it on while I shaved and washed my hair. Soooo nice and cooling, and easy to remove with a towel.
Love, love, love re...Read MoreA great mask for all ages.
I bought this mask for my three daughters, 23, 19 and 15, and then stole it from them! Granted, it does them more good than me and has been great for break-outs and congestion. I do like to use it occasionally though as it seems to really smooth out even skin that is not experiencing acne-type problems. We've added it to our little basket of favourite masks.Excellent
Like pretty much everything La Roche-Posay makes, this works. The Effaclar Sebo-Controlling Mask is a really effective clay mask for clearing the gunk out of your pores and reducing oiliness, without stripping your skin of moisture. I found this a really good and non-irritating product.Fantastic!
I have combination skin with dry acne on my cheeks and I get quite oily through my T zone so that's where I use this product. Goes on really lovely and I can feel my skin is much less oily for a few days. Very happy!Best face mask I’ve used
This would have to be the best face mask I’ve used ..
Light weight, doesn’t make my face itchy or feel weird
Makes my skin feel soft and clean
Will buy againGreat mask
I bought this after getting a sample and i love it. I have used the Effeclar range for close to 5 years and this is the perfect addition. I got oily and acne when i was pregnant and i tried other brands but they were too harsh on my skin but this is perfect. I love that it is quick and very effective, with 3 little ones i don't have time to lay around but i can do this in the shower.Gentle and effective
I'm a huge fan of the Effaclar range which I use every summer. My experience of the range is that all the products are very effective but gentle, not drying out my skin like many other acne products do. This mask is no difference. It's creamy and not dried on my face after 5 minutes as per instruction. Washed off very easily. My skin stays matte a few days thereafter. As someone who's lazy t...Read More
