Ole Henriksen Blemish Attack Purifying Mask by Ole Henriksen, Blemish + Acne Control Review

9

Love this stuff!!!

There are a lot of masks on the market to help control blemish breakouts, but this is one that actually delivers results. After you wash your face, all you need is a very thin layer of the mask--you don't want to overdo it. However, I put a tiny little dab extra over my blemishes. Then you let this sit for about 20 minutes. It's a tingly sensation, but it feels refreshing and not overwhelming. The...read morere are a lot of NATURAL extracts in this (which I appreciate), because it's good for people with sensitive skin. One of the most active ingredients is salicylic acid which is going to remove excess oil without drying your skin, and it also won't dry out the skin around your blemishes (don't you hate crusty blemishes?); it will also clean out your pores. Then it has Aloe Vera which calms and soothes any inflammation, particularly with the blemishes. Aloe is GREAT for someone like me who has rosacea. Eucalyptus is also in it which helps to kill the bacteria and prevent it from spreading which can cause more blemishes. Copper and Zinc are also VERY potent which much like the aloe will calm and soothe the inflammation and irritated skin, but it also gives you anti-oxidant protection to help neutralize those free radicals. The thing I don't like most about this mask is the smell. Although I feel like it only lasts for a few minutes before it dissipates, the copper scent is quite strong for me and I don't like it. This mask goes on semi-clear and dries somewhat cloudy on the skin, but my skin always feels refreshed and purified when I rinse this off; I do appreciate how this rinses off easily because I hate it when it takes several minutes to remove a mask and residue is still left on the skin. This is great because your skin feels clean even after washing it off. One thing to know is that this mask is becoming increasingly rare to find. Even though Ole Henriksen skincare is exclusive to Sephora, you won't find this mask on the Sephora site. You can only find it on the Ole Henriksen official website. I do feel like it is worth the money (20 dollars for 1oz or 32 for 1. 7 oz), but a little really DOES go a long way and you don't need much. Therefore a little jar of this does last a long time. It's worth it because I do feel like it works, but most importantly, it rinses off clean, easy, and quickly.

Great smell and mask.

I tried the mask and it works great. I love the smell and the mask goes on easy without being abrasive. After 20 to 30 minutes, wash it off and your skin feels great. It does help with small blemishes and calms my skin from possible irritation. It's price well and works like advertised. Definitely recommended.
