Hello!
Five? Ten? Twenty? Or even one hundred? How many skincare products have you bought to treat your acne? Too many to count? Trust me I'm on the same boat. Fortunately, for me, I have finally found the perfect product for my bumpy skin. Glamglows Supermud Clearing Treatment Mask. You can find it at Sephora or Glamglows website for $69. It comes housed in a white jar with 1.2 ounces of miracle liquid in it (oops did hat ruin the review?).
First, I need to let you know Glamglow did send this to me. However, I would NOT lie to you about the performance of a product. I even have before and after pictures to show you. So there you go, you have your proof.

How long have I been trying it?
I used GlamGlow for about 12 weeks. I started out using it as a face mask two times a week and as a daily spot treatment. After a couple weeks my acne started to die down, so I decided to use it as a spot treatment only.
Acne results?
Here is a picture of my skin before I started using Glamglows Super Mud Clearing Tretment mask..
As you can see I had moderate to severe acne. I mostly had large painful acne around my jawline and lips. On my cheeks they were smaller but still painful. No matter what kind of pimple, I would always have a mark left behind that wouldn't go away for months. I tend to get a little oily in my t-zone but dry around my acne. By the way, in the picture above that's not oil on my face, it's a moisturizer. After a few weeks my face looked like this..
At this point my acne was less severe but I still broke out like I usually do. Fortunately, my acne wasn't as flared and painful. Which resulted in less scars. I was really happy and I actually felt like I had a chance at clearing my skin for good. I guess it gave me a sense of hope. Then a couple weeks later my skin looked like this...
As you can see in the picture a lot of my acne vanished. Of course, I still had a few pimples here and there. But overall the results were miraculous. Even my marks were improving. Not to mention the texture of my skin was a lot smoother, which also helped the performance of my makeup.
If you have acne, then this mask is a must have. It's not a pernamnet solution but it will help out your skin while your prone to breakouts. After I ran out I started to breakout again. So it's obvious that acne will come back if you don't continue to use it. Keep in mind though, Glamglow never did claim to cure our acne forever. The claim is to treat it, which it did! It's the only thing that has helped my acne this much. So in my eyes it's a miracle in a beautiful little jar. Yeah, it's expensive but it's totally worth it. If you can afford it, buy it.
Warning
There is one draw back(kind of) from this product. The first time you use this face mask, it might break you out. Keep in mind that all the impurities are deep down in your pores and Glamglows face mask goes all the way to the bottom of your pore. So naturally, it's going to bring everything up to the surface. The majority of the impurities will be washed away but some might be stuck at the surface. If you breakout, don't freak out. Give it another week and your skin will be a lot healthier, as well as a lot clearer. Good things take time.
Does it work on blackheads?
Surprisingly, I don't suffer from blackheads that much. I have a few but not enough to show remarkable before and after photos. However, I can say that it does remove them. When the job was needed, Glamglows supermud clearing treatment mask was my best bet. It removed every single one and left behind nice smooth skin.
Using the face mask
When I first tried this mask I was blown away by the smell. It was so strong and I couldn't believe I would have to rub this all over my face twice a week. Oddly enough, I actually grew to love the smell. It kind of reminds me of black licorice but with a twist. If you're sensitive to scents you my not like it but it would be a tragedy if the scent got in the way. It's too good to be passed on just because of the scent. Maybe it will grow on you like it did me?
Applying the face mask was really easy. It glided on my face with little to no effort and stayed put without dripping down onto my shirt. It's a rather creamy but thin formula. To me, it's just right.
The mask definitely had a tingly feeling but it wasn't severe. It actually felt rather nice. It was probably just the acne treatment doing what it does best. Fighting my breakouts.
After a few minutes it starts to dry. My skin would feel tight in some areas but there were still some wet spots that took longer to dry. I didn't turn to stone all at once. The highest parts of my face usually dried before the deeper parts. So I didn't have to sit like a statue during the whole purifying process. Towards the end is when my skin felt really tight and clean. During a typical use, I would wear it for 15-20 minutes.
When it was time to rinse off the mask, it mostly rinsed off with ease. The only places where the mask was hard to remove was around the acne a currently had. Sometimes I had to lightly scrub with a damp washcloth. No worries, it didn't irritate my skin.
When the mask was completely smooth I had a moment like no other. My skin could breath. I don't mean the feeling that we get after we wash our face and we're like"Ah, that feels nice". No, my skin could actually breath for the first time. I really wish I could go back to the moment. It felt better than mastering winged eyeliner for the first time.
Overall Thoughts
The first thing that comes to my mind is you need it in your life. Actually, your skin needs it in its life. It's expensive but WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY! Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy it everytime I need it but I would if I could. It helps problematic skin so well. It's the best thing I have ever tried for my skin and I have been trying new products since elementary school(I'm now 21). If you're looking for something to help your acne, try it. It's the only recommendation I truly depend on.
