The product's texture is somewhat soft so I was surprised when it left tiny scratches around the sides of my nose and on my cheek. I don't know if I was applying too much pressure but I didn't think I was, I'm quite gentle with my skin. Even after I noticed that, I didn't see much improvement of blackheads on my nose. It does make my skin feel very soft, and I think it has brightened my complexion over time, so I continue to use it, I'm just careful when massaging it. I also like the scent which doesn't give me a migraine like most fragrances do.
this mask is one of my favorites. it hydrates my skin very well.
