I saw a very noticeable difference after using this mask for the first time. I mixed the powder with 1/4 tsp. of raw honey and a few drops of toner. I kept it on for 20 min. Even though the honey keeps it moist, I did mist it a few times towards the end to make sure it stayed moist. It was easy to rinse off, and I could SEE the difference. I will continue using this mask on a very regular basis, rotating it with a few other masks from Dr. Alkaitis, to give my skin a variety of nutrients.
