Finally, after using this product for over a month I'm now ready to make a review on the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. After all the raves I've seen about this product, I was so happy when I found it at "Healthy Options" SM City Cebu Northwing branch.
I had a terrible breakout last month and I just happen to see this product in one of xteener's videos on Youtube. I wasn't really looking for it, because I simply thought that this isn't available locally. But when I made a visit to Healthy Options, I saw this on the skin care shelf. Just imagine how surprised I was to see this! So, I quickly picked it up, checked the price, and headed straight to the cashier.
* spearmint scent
* has a lot of product, 8 oz.
* gives a minty tingling sensation
* feels squeaky clean and refreshing after use
* it really does a good job of drying out pimples
* my face feels so smooth and relaxed after using
* no allergic reactions or irritation experienced
* squeeze type tube packaging is awesome, unlike other masques that comes in a jar.
* takes about 15 minutes for the product to complete dry up
* doesn't completely remove pimples, it only shrinks and dries it up
* it would have been better if the cap was a flip type so that it won't fall off every time I open it.
* can be drying, (for reference I have normal to dry skin, I don't have enlarged pores, and I don't have noticeable blackheads)
My rating: 3 / 5
I used this every night during the first week. That was when I noticed that my breakouts have really dried up and the bumps have flattened. Since then, I have been applying this masque once or twice a week, and has kept me from having occasional bumps.
Will I repurchase? Maybe. I just don't feel that I really need this. However, If you have large pores and have oily skin, I would highly recommend for you to try out this product.
This is it for now.
Cheerios!
