After using this mask my skin did feel nice and taut. My pores decreased in size as well. All in all, it's nothing fantastic but a simple mask. It's definitely fun to use and if you are in a time crunch this is a fun 5 minute process. It does say you can use it to remove makeup as well and I tried it. It did remove my foundation but I'd suggest doing a double cleanse. Dried up my skin so I would suggest using a moisturizer right after.
