This product definately helps with oil control! I have combination skin with an oily T-zone but this product helps keep it under control. I recommend using the Murad acne control system (Cleanser, Toner, etc) for you blackheads. The mask helps decrease redness, swelling, and visibility of acne but it does not make it go away. Think of it as more of a supplement to the Murad system, useful in combination but just alright on its own

YES, YES, YES! Use this then a Biore pore strip and youll be so clear and smooth! This REALLY pulls blackheads out and allows the strips to grab EVERYTHING!!!! Then apply an acne treatment like 2% Salicylic Acid (I use Peter Thomas Roth 2% Salicylic+10% Glycolic Acid) so it can go Striaght into your pores, THEN SEAL IT UP W A CLAY MASK such as Fresh's. You can sleep in that overnight or just use a treatment but I hv had SERIOUSLY AWESOME RESULTS W THIS! Just get ready for the rotten egg sulfur smell:)

Yes, I think this mask will help you. I found this mask to eliminate blackheads and draw out impurities.

If you can get rid of the balckeheads you already have, I'm convinced that this product would really help to prevent new ones.I love it!

Yes! After one use, my blackheads look SO much better. The ones on my nose are barely there, and the ones on my chin have improved. This product has worked like nothing I've tried before. As the mask dries, you can actually see blackheads being extracted! Gotta love it.

Its a wonderful product, definitely definitely give it a try. It does an awesome job of pulling out impurities, closing up pores (at least it appears, I've heard changing pore size isn't possible), but this stuff is incredible! Also, I believe there is a product designed specifically for the T-Zone, I'd give that a try and would be shocked if you didn't see a great improvement!

I would recommend using this after exfoliating your face and then leaving it on for a while at night, or all night. I wouldnt say it gets rid of the blackheads, but it definetly shrinks your pores and helps minimize your blackheads if you use it regularly. I would use it like 2 or 3 times a week, but no more than every other day. A little goes a long way and if you are using it regularly than I would spread it on thin, but you can use it thicker for those bad days. I also like to use the Murad T-zone pore refining gel after I wash this product off to help keep your pores tight. Another thing I would recommend is the Dr. Brandt Pores no more vacuum cleaner, which does help to clean out blackheads.

This works better than any other mask at loosening up blackheads. It brings them to the surface so it is easy to extract them.

This product helped out my blackheads. I still continue my daily skin cleansing routine. I also stay away from oil based products, but this product really helps for my blackheads and I also use it as a spot treatment for pimples.

Absolutely, it's great for prevention but can also be used to treat existing flareups. I'm half black and can confirm it works. ;)

It definitely will. I use Purity, Peter Thomas Roth's Acne Gel, and Ole Hendriksen's 3 Little Wonders and this mask is great with all of them. It doesn't irritate my skin at all and boosts the results of everything else.

you can use the mask.....it doesnt say snywhere that you only have to use one brands products for every issue. I would use it.

I use philosophy face wash twice a day. I use several different face moisturizers. I switch around on face creams. I use this product (murad clarifying face mask) about once a week and love it. It has made a differnce in my skin. I had really clogged pores and this as worked better than anything else. I have tried so many other expensive products with little to no results. This worked after the first time.

I also have fair skin and use other brand products as cleansers, moisturisers, etc...but I also use this clarifying mask a couple times per week and an over the moon with the results. I suppose you never know how products will work together, but I would imagine it would be just fine. Snag a tube of this and you won't be sorry, its great stuff!

This is the only Murad product that I use, and it seems to work just fine on my face.

I am using a combination of Murad and Philosophy products, including this mask, without any trouble.

The only thing I can say is..GOD YES. What I do to achieve "complexion perfection" is keep it simple with Purity, Hope in a Jar, and this mask as a spot treatment. You will NOT be disappointed...I cannot stress that enough. <3

Yes - most Brand lines are not one-stop shops, though they'd like you to be. No woman's face will ever be completely served by using all the products of one line. I use a mix of Murad, Dermalogica, Dr. Peter Thomas Roth, and Philosophy, so you should be fine. :) I use this masque for problem flareups. Note, you should never use ONE mask all the time unless you consistently only have one problem to treat. If acne is your main issue then yes you can still use this pretty regularly, but you'll probably only need this 1-2x a month (maybe more if you have lots of acne issues).

I'd probably intersperse this with 1-2x a month to fight existing acne and prevent acne during hot summer months, particularly in tropical areas. Rest of the month, 1-2x, something tightening, lightening, or rejuvenating, something strong in antioxidants or Vitamin C.

i currently use mostly Murad products but only rely on my good old fashioned Clinique Dramatically Different moisturizer every day. Personally I feel like it would be great to use with other products - I haven't noticed any issues.

I also have fair, combination skin-which leans more towards the oily side in the summer and more towards the dry side in the winter-and this is a wonderful product for problematic skin. I tend to use this every 2 weeks as a mask to keep my skin clear and acne free...and If do get a zit I use this as a spot treatment and sleep with it on. It clears up the zit SUPER fast!

This is worth every penny. I use this as a zit treatment. I dab it on my zits and go to sleep with it on my face and in the morning they are dried up! It's awesome.

Definitely. In the grand scheme of masks, this is actually fairly inexpensive and does a better job than most of the others I have tried.

YES! If you're really oily, it will help get rid of excess oils.

Yep. Every penny.

Oh yeah. This is so good its absolutely worth the dough!

Yes!

It'll take a few times, but your skin will clear up so much!

The price is a little high..but you get a decent enough product to last you a while! Just use it sparingly as a spot treatment and you will be a happy camper.

Yes, it's worth the money. I just wrote a review that will take a few days to show up, but this plus the Murad Acne Spot treatment are my go-to items. They clear me right up - fast. Although gentle and natural, this mask is intensive and really works and lasts a really long time. It's thick, sucks out the germs, and you shouldn't feel you wasted your money.

YES YES YES YES! It will last you for ages, especially if you only dab a little bit on at a time!! SO worth it.

You should definetly pop into a sephora near you and request a sample of this. I love this product and it has SERIOUSLY cleared up some INTENSELY painful cystic (under the skin) acne literally OVERNIGHT...but, some people can't handle the strong scent of sulfur and of course, everyone's skin is different and reacts differently to different products. As mentioned, the Origins Charcoal mask is also known to pull out impurities in the skin and work for acne, but, that specific mask has actually caused me MORE breakouts...so I can't use it.
Bottom line: IF you can, request a sample in the store and give it a try. I love this product.

I have never ever seen any improvements with black head, or any blemishes, with this mask, but my skin's pretty picky. I have found that my blackheads respond best to a scrub (burt's bees citrus scub is my secret weapon), You could try that. good luck

Use this, then a Biore strip and youll be so happy. then use a 2% salicylic product so it can immediatelly get in your pores (or your fav zit remedy) THEN SEAL IT ALL UP W A CLAY MASK like Fresh's! You can sleep in this or just do a treatment but its the ULTIMATE CLEARING EXPERIENCE FOR ME, SMOOTHING TOO, youll be so happy:)

Hi! I think this is an awesome product. I have oily skin as well across my t-zone. This product is great because it really helps control oil. But I have to be careful to avoid the areas that tend to dry up easily. I would highly recommend giving this product a shot to see if it's a good fit for you. It's been great for me.

Yes it removes blackheads and impurities very well. You will feel ans see a big difference after using the murad mask.

It does, but I would try Murad's acne trial kit also. The cleanser/toner/exfoliator do wonders and after less than a week removed almost all the blackheads from my troubled nose and chine area! Good luck!

Yes, this product helped so much with blackheads! After one use, I could see a difference. I could actually see blackheads being extracted from my nose and chin as the mask dried!

After one one or two uses I saw a noticable, impressive difference. Blackheads are so stubborn, especially on the nose--ugh. But this tuff is truly amazing, its almost like you can see it pulling impurities out as it dries, and after you wash it off--ohhh divine!

It helps, a lot. I have lots of blackheads on my nose, and using this a few times a week makes them a lot less noticeable. And it loosens them up so you can extract them more easily if you want. Using this mask, cleansing every night (no sleeping in my makeup!) and using a good quality moisturizer have helped keep my pores cleaner.

It took away my blackheads and evened out my skin tone. My skin was red and uneven from the acne. Now it looks a lot better!

It works well to get rid of my blackheads (or at least make them look way less noticeable), but the results are relatively short-lived (IE they come back after a day or two).
