The Eminence Rosehip & Maize Exfoliating Masque is a gentle mask that does a good job of exfoliation. It's a thick mask with a creamy pink color. There are some rather large bits of corn granule in it that you should be careful of when applying, if your skin is sensitive. I don't think that it is meant for manaul exfoliation at all, because the large pieces can scratch you.
I've used this mask two different ways. First, I used it alone; applied after cleansing and left it on for 20 minutes. No stinging, no tingling. I tried to just rinse it off, but it really needs a damp cloth to remove it. Afterwards, my skin was calm and even-toned and a bit glowy. I think that this is a great mask for the more sensitive skin types; for myself, I prefer something with a little more oomph! 
So, to get that extra oomph, I mixed the Rosehip & Maize masque with the Lime Stimulating masque in about at 2:1 ratio. I really like this combination. I leave it on about 15 minutes and it looks like my skin has turned red around the edges of the mask, but once I remove it, there is no redness at all. Mixing it with the Lime mask makes it a more potent exfoliator. I can tell that it is doing more, because it will bring the gunk in my pores right to the surface and it is so easy to do extractions.
All in all, I think that it is a mask that anyone can use. Would I buy it again? Yes, along with the Lime Stimulating Masque.
