I personally don't use a toner because my skin can't handle it along with a cleanser and retina cream, however, my suggestion would be to continue with the toner if that's what your skin can tolerate. This mask is super gentle and will definitely not strip your skin of its moisture.

This is a mask to be used occasionally after the cleansing part of your regime. Cleanse your face first, then use the mask (as directed), rinse off, then finish your routine (tone, then moisturize).

Yes, I use it after applying toner.
I love it! It is very soothing.
Highly recommend it!

Toners have a dual purpose: to remove any additional debris and to prep the skin to receive products. Although it's tempting to think that using the toner before the mask might increase the mask's efficacy, using the toner after the masks helps ensure that any of it's residue is removed so that your moisturizer can do it's job and your skin can breath. If you want to skip your toner, I'm sure that's fine, but I don't think this mask is a replacement for a toner.

I always use this mask immediately after cleansing. In fact, I try to apply it as soon as I get out of the shower, so that my pores are clean and open. I think this allows maximum penetration of all the soothing goodness. I do my toning and moisturizing routine after I remove the mask...your toner will also help to whisk away any residual gel.

I slather it on. Not too thick, maybe 2-4mm thick?

I slather it on without going too overboard. :) Though even a slather with this mask is only a small amount.

I usually use about the size of a half dollar,but if I am running low on product I use the size of a quarter. happy masking!

somewhere in between i think. i don't layer it on thick like the directions say, but i put a thin layer and don't rub it in at all

You definitely need more than a quarter-sized amount. The product actually says to put a heavy mask on, but anything in between a moderate to heavy would be fine. A quarter-sized won't even cover your face well. You probably need at least a silver dollar sized, minimum.

You can use as much as you want. This is the first time Ive experienced a peel that you can use generously!

I would use more than a quarter sized amount. You don't want it to dry out like a clay mask so use enough so that it doesn't dry out for at least 10 min.

I suppose the answer always depends on how much you personally use, but I feel like I put a thick mask on (and sometimes a second application) and mine has lasted at least a year--though I don't use it 2-3 times weekly. I would imagine there are at least 20 applications. It's worth the cost.

I use this product about 3-4 times a week. I've had it 3 weeks and I'm about 2/3 through.

I had my mask for about 6-7 months and I used it at least twice a month. You really don't need that much, just a thin layer. You may think the amount of applications I got out of it seems pretty extreme, but I assure you, it isn't. Enjoy!

I've been using it on my face and neck, not sparingly, 3 x a week for over a month, and a friend has used it twice and I still have half the jar left over. Not for nothing, I have a big head, too, so you know- I have a substantial surface area that I'm using it on. :-)

I've only used it twice, but it looks like I haven't used it at all. A little goes a long way!

I use a very little amount...and it is a pretty big jar. Because I have so many other masks, I only use it about one a week...but if I WERE using it 2-3 times a week, I would expect it to last about 2 months if not more....all you need is a very thin layer....

My skin looked great after first use!

This is a gel mask. It looks like you're literally putting hair gel on your face. It also doesn't dry like a clay mask will.

it's a gel mask. goes on feeling cold and refreshing. it absorbs into your skin over the 20 minutes you leave it on. When you rinse it, it's not cakey.

It is gel based. and clear!

Gel in consistency.

Clear gel..really need! I don't like the mess of traditional clay masks so this is very unique.

it is a gel, similar to the texture of aloe vera gel.

It exfoliates, smooths and hydrates.

this mask is very relaxing. I leave it on for 20 minutes and then sometimes apply a hot damp washcloth for a few minutes and let steam before rinsing. It is very moisturizing but it goes on like a gel. Plus it lasts for quite a while. If softens the skin and improves the appearance.

I have acne as well as horrible scarring. I experience brightening and mega-hydration. Both are great for acne. It also calms my skin so the next morning it is less red.

This mask is definitely a treat to the senses. It dramatically hydrates and gently exfoliates your skin. It tingles and leaves a cool sensation on your skin, which feels so nice, plus it has a very soothing smell.
Also, the enzymes help with new blemishes. It has definitely helped heal my breakouts; even a deep one that was just forming on my chin. It healed in only 2 days, which is very fast to me.
The results are definitely not instant or dramatic, but if you want to treat your skin to a soothing, hydrating treatment then I recommend this mask. it basically leaves my skin smooth, refreshed, and vibrant. But it's not a miracle product that will cure all your blemishes and make your pores disappear... It does come very close though! :)

It's a hydrating and calming mask for the face. It is a clear gel texture but it is super cooling and I would say definitely like an at home spa!

This mask uses enzymes to remove dead skin cells. I think it does feel similar to a spa treatment in the fact that it tingles and soothes with lavendar.

I don't have rosacea but I have VERY sensitive skin and I haven't had any redness or reaction to this product.

Depending on your severity of rosecea, I think it's safe, but maybe check with your derm. It's really, REALLY been helping with my redness and the acne rosecea I have... but mine is a relatively mild case.

For me it tingled and almost felt like it was a light burning sensation that was only alieved by my fanning it. In all honesty, the first few minutes I wondered if I had made a mistake but after I got used to it and the sensation faded, I left the mask on longer than noted and when I washed it off my skin felt great! I loved it.

I have mild roascea and find it stings quite abit upon application especially the first time I apllied it. I was scared I was gonna have a reaction but I stuck through and it quickly stopped but I was afraid I would be raccoon face for another week. That happily did not happen and I liked what my face looked like after multiple usages.

I don't have rosacea, but I do have eczema and this mask was not right for me at all. It caused stinging, burning, dried my skin out completely, and caused a red flush all over. I would suggest the Korres Yogurt Mask - it's been much better for me.

I do have mild rosacea and this worked wonderfully! It is an all natrul peel so no irritants or burning.

I use it at room temp but I'm going to try the fridge just to experiment!

I haven't stored it in a fridge yet it always gives me a cooling sensation. Putting it in the fridge may make it really cool!

I haven't tried it cold, but I have had amazing results at room temperature! It has a cooling affect at first on its own. My pores are smaller and my skin is calmer and smoother. I can recommend it at room temperature.

It is a gel consistency so it already feels cold when you apply so I don't feel the need to chill it. I just keep it in the bathroom cabinet.

I just store it in my bathroom and all is fine. Still feels very cool when you apply it. I have also heard of people storing it in the fridge -- though I'm not sure that it's really necessary.

I enjoy storing in my fridge and when I apply it, it is usually after a shower and the hot vs cold effect I like alot.

I have acne prone yet extremely sensitive skin. I often have dry patches too. This mask does a great job of calming and balancing my skin.

I have acne prone skin as well and this mask has helped tremendously! It calms my skin and helps to clear my pores. I use it once every three to four days. I would recommend trying it!

I have acne, and it does not irritate my skin. My skin is prone to irritation too, so I am pleased! It shouldn't cause any problems for you.

I also have acne prone skin which is oily. This definitely did not irritate my skin. In fact, it helped heal one deep blemish I had on my chin in only 2 days. I did the mask when I felt it coming, and I think it really helped heal it. It's a very hydrating mask that also helps to gently exfoliate.

This was a skincare challenge reward product which I assume was widely distributed to many people with different skin types, so I think it will be beneficial for most, if not all, skin types.

I have very picky acne prone skin too and yes no worries. Very soothing yet energizing. A great way to gently exfoliate. It can also go under the eyes helping puffiness. And the jar will last a while :)

I haven't noticed either of those benefits but it definitely softens and soothes the skin.

Wow, you have a lot of the same skin issues as me! I've been using this in conjunction with acne treatment masks. The acne mask once or twice a week and this product a couple days later to help shred the dead skin that the acne treatment masks produced as well as condition my skin after all the drying and intensive treatment. Since, I'm using it with the other mask it's hard to tell about the blackheads, but it does a great job getting rid of excess skin and evening out my skin tone and well as brightening it. Definitely make sure after using this mask to moisturize!!!!

You've just described my skin type! This is the perfect mask for combination skin and sensitive skin too.

I believe you will love this mask it sounds like you could be my skin twin, afte three weeks of use i found a strong reduction in oiliness, and definetly flakes, alot of my blackheads were gone too... Try it!

I use this in conjunction with nose strips for my blackheads and then once a week I do a stronger peel, though I may skip a week of the stronger (Dennis Gross) peel and use this instead. So my regimen is OH mask and nose strip, off day, Dennis Gross (or OH if skipping a week of strong peel), off day, OH Mask. Your pore size is your pore size- pretty much genetically. Don't expect any product to shrink them away. Keep your pores cleaned out and your skin tone even (which this OH mask really helps with, also makes you nice and glowy!), and your pore size won't matter so much.

I have similar concerns and this mask really helps to calm my skin down. I've noticed fewer blackheads since I started using it weekly, and my pores visibly shrink after I use it. Plus, it hydrates and smooths my dry areas. Don't let the intense tingle when you first apply it scare you, it's really soothing after a couple of minutes.

Hey, I adore that acid peel. I use it 2-4 times a week in the evenings and on the other nights I use this mask. Because I use the extra strength peel my skin can't do every day w/o getting trashed. So I use this as a hydrating restorative mask every few days. Honestly, when I tried this mask, I had a crisis of faith towards my Dr. Dennis Gross, because this mask makes me skin sooo happy, did I even need what I thought was my HG peel any longer? As turns out, it's a perfect marriage and my skin hasn't looked this good since I was in high school. My suggestion: have your cake and eat it too with these products, but don't over do it, they both deliver so you don't need to double up.

This mask is great on my sensitive skin so if you have more resilient skin, I think you should be ok.

I use the Dennis Gross Extra Strength pads once a week, and this the other two days. I may skip a week of Dennis Gross now and then when I feel like I'm getting too... peel-y, and use this instead- this is milder and as it's getting colder again, I don't feel the need to peel quite as often.

I always wait a day after I have had a peel to use this. I would ask your esthetician if you are using a peel every other day.

This is hydrating and natural so I don't see it being an issue with an intense peel type mask. It may very well soothe and help boost the power of the peel!
