This is definitely the best exfoliate-mask I have ever tried. It leaves the skin feeling amazing and does help to prevent clogged pores. Because it's not only a face scrub but also a mask, my skin feels so soft and looks so healthy after I use it! Just a warning: i had to give it a couple of tries because the first two times I used it my skin felt like hell because I over exfoliated my face; it's important to pay attention to your skin and learn how often you can exfoliate it, my ideal routine is only once a week, even though some people recommend 2-3 times a week.
