I have combination skin with blackheads and acne. This mask has worked wonders for me and I absolutely love it. It reduces my pores temporarily, as well as whitens my skin. Although the two effects aren't permanent, my skin still feels absolutely wonderful after using it. Im not sure if it actually cleared any of my blackheads, but it does seem to be pulling them closer to the surface so I can then easily remove them with a pore strip. This mask does not dry out my skin and s extremely easy to spread on the face. I also love the smell :)
