The mask has a 4.2-star rating on Sephora with more than 3,800 likes and 83% of reviewers online saying they would recommend it to their friends. Shoppers say it helps their sensitive, oily skin feel "less oily during the day" and some add that it improved their skin's texture.

A few complained about the strong smell, but most reviewers said it disappeared as the mask dried and didn't stop them from using it again.
