PLEASE PATCH TEST!!!!!
I really wanted to wait and do a review after a few months of use, since that is generally how long it takes acne medications to work well, but I'm terrified to put this stuff back on my face. The first time I used it, was with water and it didn't really do anything. I tried it the second time with raw ACV (which makes it blend better and creates a nice muddy mousse). I used it three times with raw ACV, with a few days in between each use, and my skin got worse every single time. A new pimple would form after every single use. During one use, a pimple had formed while the mask was still on my face. Luckily I patch tested, so the break out is only on part of my face, but my face hasn't been this bad in years. I went from having skin that generally had one or two pimples, to six active PAINFULL pimples after only two weeks of using this. Many people would attribute my breakout to purging, but I've dealt with purging before and it has never been like this. In regard to its ability to remove blackheads I was disappointed, Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask works way better.
The only good thing about this is that if you already have a pimple, and only use it on that same spot, it will help it come to a head much faster.
For those like me who read skin care product reviews, and like to know the users skin type, I have combination skin and hormonal breakouts only around my mouth. I drink lots of water and am a vegetarian who doesn't drink milk or eat cheese (for those who believe diet effects skin).
