Fine quality [SEP] I am a senior, and my skin is oily - a combination which makes it quite difficult to find masks and exfoliants. Though this product is extremely expensive, it did give my skin a silky texture. I did not find that it had any  effect on removing blackheads. I believe it is a perfect gift, albeit very pricey, for us older ladies, but more for those looking to have a youthful smoothness to skin than those who have perpetual oily plugs.
