I use a lot of masks and face products and this is okay. My skin felt a bit softer but not as soft as if I use a clay mask. That being said, when I added some of the powder to a clay mask it made the clay mask a lot better. So while this may not be a great stand alone product, it's totally worth getting as it makes any mask I have added it to wayyyy better. Highly recommend as an addon to any mask that you already love.
