 Best OTC papaya enzyme mask AND it's affordable!Nov 10, 2011
By 365BeautySecrets
"365 Beauty Secrets"
I had been paying an arm and a leg for a professional strength papaya enzyme mask, so I was so excited to find something over the counter (OTC) at an affordable price. The user reviews for the same product in the single jar were pretty good, but I took the leap of faith by purchasing the 2-pack at a better discount, especially with the 15% off Subscribe-and-Save option.
At first, I thought it did not sting at all but when I tried it again, my skin did get the expected tingling feeling. After 2 months of using it religiously 2 +/-1 times per week, Alba's papaya enzyme mask is now part of my daily beauty regimen. I am about half way through the first jar, so the 2 jars may last 6-7 months (I think closer to 6 months, since I love this stuff). I also bought a large fan brush, which uses a minimal amount without wasting much and effectively spreads a thin layer across my whole face. If you use your fingers, then your consumption rate may be faster. Make sure to wash your face thoroughly and dry with a fresh face towel before applying any mask. Although this mask (feels more like a gel) does not dry (as indicated on the packaging label), I believe the enzymes are effective in softening up the skin and breaking down the oils, dirt and old skin. Every time, I follow up it up with a clay mask, such as mud or mint (different brand), which does dry and pull out the dirt and oils from the pores. Of course, a non-greasy moisturizer is a must as well. Bottom line: I love how this product clears up my pores and helps my skin radiate.
These jars with fan brushes would make great personalized beauty gift baskets for girly Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers. With that said, I definitely would recommend this product to family and friends!

 Try This a Couple of Times Per Week ...Nov 21, 2010
By Lynrie
"Oh HELL no"
... when to keep your skin clear. When your skin is breaking out I use it every night for a week, actually I let it dry and sleep in it. FYI It stings a little and never really dries.
Love it!Nov 29, 2011

After my mother noted that I needed to take care of my skin as my daughter wouldn't like having an 'older looking mom' when she grows up (moms, gotta love them!) and after several years of neglecting my facial care, I decided to dive in to help my complexion, suppleness, and overall look. After looking up numerous reviews from another site, I found the review for Alba Botanica Papaya Enzyme Facial Mask and was impressed by the reviews and the price!
I love Alba's natural organic ingredients. I had just started using a pore cleansing mask and radiance mask when I added this mask into the rotation. After one use, I could feel my skin was softer, improving the texture of my skin and it seemed to brighten it a little as well. I had also had one pimple that had formed on my forehead. The duration of the breakout was shorter and the scarring/recovery of the skin much improved than another breakout that had happened just the week before within an inch of the same spot.
I generally have a T-zone with my cheeks getting drier as I get older. It seems to work well overall to balance and manage my skin.
You only need a thin layer applied onto your face (and neck, if you choose) and it does not dry completely. The enzyme will cause a tingling sensation as well. You can find a mask brush to apply if you desire. I haven't yet and it hasn't been a problem.
