this review title is: softer smoother and more touchable and the content is: i have to say this is my first time trying a mud mask in over ten years as a younger person the masks i used smelled light and fruity but this is more astringent and earthy smelling i am not a huge fan of the smell but for effectiveness it is pretty awesome i have only had two applications and so far my skin is much softer and smoother my husband keeps stroking my face like he did when we were first dating it is an unexpected but welcome benefit i cannot wait to see how my skin will look by the time i have completed the container it will take awhile as a little goes a long way see photo taken of jar this is after two applications for my entire face and neck have been used and it still looks full i think i may try it on the backs of my hands to see if it is just as effective four stars is only for the potent smell which some people actually like but i am not thrilled about please note i did recieve this item at a discount for my unbiased review.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 2 people think this review is helpful.
