Skincare Necessity
This mask is a staple product in my skincare routine. I use it about once or twice a week to pamper my skin and give it a deep cleaning. I produce a tiny bit of oil around the edges of my nose, so I apply the product on that area to extract excess sebum and to unclog my pores. I also use it as a spot treatment for those random breakouts/blemishes and it works really well!
Skeptical
I have tremendous amounts of black heads for like ever. Many expect for this to magically do everything for them like make their black heads disappear. Yes this helps! The mask brings the black heads to the surface and opens up your pores drawing all the impurities to the surface hence why some people say they see it but can't really get it. This is when you go in and exfoliate or extract using pore strips or Tweezerman's no slip skin care tool. Also notice that this is a mask treatment not a cleanser. If you use it too much it isn't going to work anymore. Masks are meant to be used a few times a week. Gotta work for what you want right? ;)
pricey
I used 2 jars of this. Great cleaning mask, cleans my pores deeply. Blackheads were traceless when I was using supermud. I have sensitive skin, so I use it once a week on my T zone, once a month on my whole face. Yes it tickles but it didn't irritate my skin. My only complaint is the price.
Did nothing.
While it made my face soft for like 5 minutes, it did nothing else. Blackheads? Still there. Breakouts and constant oiliness? Still there. I've heard mostly good things about it and was even told it's like magic in a pot. For $69 I expected this to be the answer to all my prayers. Unfortunately, it did absolutely nothing for me and I went through a whole jar, religiously! I'm not saying I expected EVERRYYYY blackhead on my face to be gone! But at least a noticeable difference? Nope. Also, it dries up in the pot waaaay too quick and you get like 7 uses out of a $70 pot. One star because it makes your face soft and because I have to. I like Amazonian Clay better.
Overpriced
The SuperMud is an average clay mask. Clay is a cheap ingredient and should not cost this much. The packaging while pretty is excessive...clearly that's where our money is going. Kudos to the GlamGlow team for a perfected executed marketing scheme. The Origins Charcoal mask put this to shame and is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy cheaper.
A good mask
Although the GlamGlow Supermud mask did not help with my blackheads long term, I did like this product because immediately after using it my skin was always amazingly soft and clean feeling. It felt like getting a facial. I felt like it did do a good job of opening up pores and cleaning deep but I just have too many blackheads and they did get slightly better with this product but not 100% gone. I applied this mask to damp clean skin, focusing on my T-zone. I let the mask sit for 10-15 minutes until it got dry. you will start to see the mask zoning in on your pores. After that I would rinse it off and pat dry and moisturize.
There are better masks out there
PROS: Skin feels refreshed and clean after, good for also using as a spot treatment for pimples and leaving on overnight. CONS: Not great value ($69 only gets you 1.2oz).
The Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask is a great mask that does the same thing, with better value. $58 for 5oz.
Best!
This is the best pore-sucking, oil absorbing mask I have used. The name "glam glow" and cheesy packaging put me off it for the longest time, but when I celeberites actually using it on instagram, I wanted to try it myself. Clears up congested skin and sucks oil out. You can actually see the spots where the "crap" is being sucked out.
Works fantastic on my sensitive skin
I have used different masks in the past to varying degrees of success, but none have been as great as the Glamglow Supermud. I have very sensitive skin that breaks out frequently, and this mask has helped clear up my skin. It does dry out the skin though, so I only use it once or twice a week, but that it all it takes to keep my face clear from breakouts.
