- Blue Tansy BHA & Enzyme Pore Refining Mask - Naturally Clarifies Acne, Blemishes & Redness, Vegan & Cruelty-Free, 60 mL / 2.02 oz

I don't write many reviews, but I had to for this product. I used to make and sell my own line of organic skincare products. Now that I am out of the game, I'm always on the lookout for great indie companies to support. I read about the Blue Tansy mask on a beauty blog that gave it such glowing reviews I immediately wanted to try it. Then I saw how much it cost, and I was gobsmacked. $50 is a lot to spend on a mask. My skin is pretty healthy, as skin goes. (Mostly genetics, folks. Anyone who says differently is selling something.) I am, however, extremely fair, so I have a fair amount of redness and sun damage. The blog I read said again and again how this helped her with her redness and sun damage, so I saved my pennies and gave it ago. I was immediately taken with the minimalist packaging, and the smell of the product. You can smell it through the box, but it is in now way overpowering. It's a beautiful cool and woodsy scent. The mask is blue in the jar, but goes on clear. The smell is super relaxing, and it feels so cool and delicious on your face. It's more like a gel mask than a mud mask, only not as sticky. The box said there could be some tingling, but I haven't experienced it. I waited the allotted time and rinsed my face. I didn't expect an immediate difference, but there was one. My skin looked calm, no redness, and dewy. I actually gasped when I looked in the mirror. I've been using it twice a week for a few weeks, and the jar still looks full, so you get a lot of product for the price. Also, it might literally be magic. I keep joking with my partner that it must be fairy blood. (Gory, yes, but that's how good it is.) I very highly recommend this to anyone who needs their skin to calm down, but especially to folks struggling with redness and sun damage. It's incredible.

This is one of my favorite products. I only wish it came in a larger size! I read the negative reviews on this product and want to give a heads up on a few things to anyone who is thinking of buying this product: 1. This is a resurfacing mask. It uses enzymes to remove dead skin from the surface of your face, and this includes removing surface-level blemishes, improving the appearance of the skin. It is not specifically intended to moisturize the skin. I do no think it is drying, but moisturizing is not the stated intent of the product. 2. Resurfacing can be slightly painful. This mask does tingle and even burns ever-so-slightly, but overall it is a very mild resurfacer and many are more painful. 3. This is not a mud mask or a paper mask or a peel mask. It is a bluish-green, runny gel. It is reminiscent of slime. It goes on in a clearish-bluish-green and is difficult to remove with just water. Gentle removal with a cloth is recommended. 4. This product is not scented with perfumes. Therefore, it smells like blue tansy, which has an earthy, almost mushroomy smell. If you are expecting an aromatherapeutic experience, you should look at another product. 5. This is not a miracle product. Like any product, you should not expect this product to revolutionize your face overnight. You should use it daily for the first week and then go to a few times per week. 6. If your expectations are appropriate, you may love this product. I have acne scars, and within a week I did notice my complexion being much brighter and smooth, with some of the scarring already fading.

This mask is really great! Nothing negative to say except, it smells like the Flinstone Fruity Pebbles Vitamins I had when I was younger but, its not an awful smell. I have acne and this didn't clear up any existing acne I had but, it made me skin smoother and softer and gave it a glow. If you have congested pores or skin that does not feel smooth to the touch I would buy this if I were you. Or if you're like me and suffer from red blotchy skin, this is a great chemical exfoliator to clear out your pores with. For your first try, use it once a week and give your skin some time to adjust to the Acids, next time you use maybe use one night and then other night 3 or 4 nights later. Using it twice in one week was when I saw the best glowing skin results. Herbivore is a great company I use their rose water as well and love the glow it gives my skin. I hope Herbivore comes out with more products and more acne fighting treatments. It's a great line for sensitive skin!

Ok I'm pretty skeptical when it comes to face masks. I've used a lot and I'm pretty sure most of the difference I've seen is just a placebo effect. But I've used this for about 3 weeks now and I can genuinely say it's making a difference for my skin. Also It's not awkward like a lot of other products I've used. No wet paper thing on your face, no mud that gets in your hair and all over your sink. It's practically clear so you won't scare anyone you live with or worry about it getting on towels or clothes. You only need a small amount so I imagine it will last me quite a while, and it comes off really easy. It's pricey, but as long as I think this will last me and how much of a benefit I've seen from it, I definitely think I will buy this again.

This stuff is magic! I love the way my skin looks after I use it. My skin tone is even, my pores are tiny, and my face is extremely soft. I was skeptical at first because of the price, but finally decided to try it. So glad I did. Annoying things to keep in mind, but don't let them detour you: It's a pain to paint on your face because it's really runny, and you can't do a thick coat or it will run down. I have a silicone brush that helps a lot. It's also a pain to wash off. I read a review about someone's face turning blue. Probably because it didn't get washed off all the way.. you really have to scrub with warm water. The smell isn't great - keep in mind it's natural ingredients. It also does give a tingly feeling, so just be prepared - it is a "resurfacing" mask.

If you have the money to buy this, BUY IT. I was mostly attracted to the color then I went to look at the reviews which looks really great and ended up getting one for myself. - Never had break outs with this (I have combination skin) - A little bit goes a really long way (I bought this over half a year ago and I'm not even half way done yet!) - I actually feel a difference; my skin feels more soft and feels VERY refreshed - It gives my skin a subtle glow! (my skin tends to appear more matte) It does sting and your face might be a little bit red, but it's temporary. The more often you use it in your routine, the less that happens. However, if you have sensitive skin, I would do more research on this first before buying.

I have bought this multiple times from Sephora as it is a gentle yet very powerful resurfacing mask that doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I decided to purchase from Amazon and upon opening the mask looked like it had mold growing on it and smelled so strong like chemicals; this has never been the case.

I love this mask. Instantly helps to reduce redness, calm any acne flare ups, and leave my skin feeling so soft and clear. The smell really bothered me at first, but I got used to it. I will definitely be keeping this product in my skin care line-up. I bought it first from Sephora, but their shipping takes too long so I tried amazon. The product I got from Sephora was a bright blue mask, however when I got it from amazon, the color was a brown-ish green. I read all the warnings about this being a natural product, so the color might change with time. Well the dark green color indicated to me that what I got from amazon had been sitting on my shelf for QUITE some time (the one I bought from Sephora sat on the shelf for months before I used it all up and never changed colors). So I love this mask, but would caution anyone from getting it on amazon because it is probably an old product.

Absolutely love it...You will start noticing difference in your skin within a week of using it.. It really improves the skin appearance..makes it clear and glowing..best use it along lapis oil of the same brand..magical!!!
