My husband and I both use this mask when our skins are out of sorts, burnt, sensitive and dehydrated. This is an excellent multi-tasking product. Cream is colour, fragrance and paraben free and contains a high content of Aloe Vera which naturally calms and soothes all manner of sensitive and irritated skin conditions. The pot is a simple and clear colour and the cream is a thick consistency and pure silky white. The mask applies easily to the skin and does not absorb immediately or totally for that matter. It is designed as a thick treatment that allows your skin to absorb as much of the product as it wants depending on your skin condition. You can leave this mask on for up to 20 minutes and after removing the remnants your skin feels deeply moisturised, hydrated and plumped. The Aloe content calms and soothes the skin and is excellent if you have sunburn. My husband uses this after being exposed to the harsh elements outside and I like to use it as a weekly hydration treatment for that extra skin boost.
This is an excellent mask which I would particularly recommend to those that have dehydrated and sensitive skin

Not what I expected??
Summary
I bought this thinking it was a clay mask or one you could peel off, but when reading directions I was a little confused.
This is more of an intensive moisturiser that you leave on then massage into the skin. I will admit, it did work really well at hydrating the skin, but not what I expected from a mask.
I would not have called it a mask, more of a soaking in moisturiser, or something along those lines.
Overall, great product and love using it.
