    LOVE this mask! Different from most of the masks I tried and I love that you can peel it off easily after it dries which means there's no mess afterwards or having to re-wash your face and scrub it off. My skin tone looks more evened-out after and definitely noticeably brighter.

    I recently tried this as part of a mask kit from sephora. It applies like sort of a gel cream mask. I used a foundation brush to apply it evenly. After about 20 minutes, it dries up entirely you can actually peel the entire thing off no water needed!
    It was amazing to actually see gunk and white heads stuck to the mask. Skin felt a lot smoother and cleaner :) Would recommend!

    This mask was meh on my sensative combination skin. You need a lot of product to make it actually peal off after the 30min dry time. My skin felt and looked no real difference after. It was also very messy. I have used some drugstore masks that worked better at reducing clogged pores and removing dry/dull skin.

    The idea behind it is pretty great: you get to spot check your black heads... but practically, it doesn't work so well. I would wash my face before using it - exfoliating to make sure as much dead skin cells as possible are removed - but in the end, the product doesn't do what it is supposed to: remove the black heads. After removing the mask, I still have to go and remove the black heads myself.

    I bought the product because the girls at Sephora raved about it. It's a near idea but does absolutely nothing for your skin. You also have to apply a substantial amount to ensure that the mask will peel off properly in the end so the small bottle really doesn't even last that long.

    I got the sample size to try it out b/c it's plant-based and it works great. The mask dries within minutes but if you leave it on for the recommended time (or a little longer) it peels right off. Even with sensitive skin, didn't have any redness or itchiness after. Had to wash off some residue after. It helped with the oils, especially the forehead, nose area.

    I was recommended by no other than my boyfriend! He loved the product and so I gave it a try:

    The mask is refreshing, soothes, exfoliates and gets rid of the dead skin. It left my skin refreshed and luminating- visible results!

    After reading a lot of good reviews online, I decided to get a sample bottle of this mask. I have used it up completely but unfortunately, I wasn't impressed enough with the product to be buying the full-size.

    PROS:
    - cleared my pores around my nose and forehead, and it did draw out the oil from my T-zone

    - it has a cooling sensation once applied and it didn't irritate my skin

    - had a luminizing effect right after you use it - skin looks more radiant

    CONS
    - this is not intended for the whole face as instructed, this is more ideal as a spot treatment because while it was great on my T-zone, it did nothing for the rest of my face

    - the luminizing effect did not last long, only shortly after using it. My skin was not any better the next day.

    - it is painful to remove and it peels off in chunks rather than in one piece. Not only that but it pulls out any tiny hairs you have on your face which makes for a very unpleasant experience

    -it says to keep the mask on for 30 minutes even though it dries pretty quickly but the longer it was on my face, the more it stung my eyes so I wouldn't recommend applying this anywhere near your eyes

    - you have to apply a fairly thick layer or else it will not peel properly and you end up using a lot of product and going through the bottle fairly quickly

    The minimal effects of this mask does not justify the hefty $40 price tag, specially since you will be finishing it up very quickly.
    I'm going to pass up on this product. There are more inexpensive drugstore masks that work better than this.

    This mask is amazing. When you're applying it to the face you feel the thickness of the mask (which resembles molasses and tar). After applying it does take about 30-40 mins to dry depending on how thick a layer you've applied, and once dry it is time to peel off. After i took the mask off my face was so clean, so soft, and felt amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone with dry skin, skin that gets dirty/oily quickly as it will remove the dead skin and nasty oils from the face. While it is a bit pricey i do recommend it 100%

    I was having a dreary Monday until I got home and tried this mask. It’s a peel-off mask that is supposed to instantly boost skin clarity and radiance. Peeling crap off your face is fun and oddly satisfying.



    As with all of its products, Boscia is preservative-free and rich in natural clays, minerals and extracts. I have not tried a peel off mask since my horrifying Biore incident*.


    Since then, I still experience flashbacks and nightmares and other PTSD symptosm when I see Biore products or hear the word heat or mask. Of course I’m also wiser and more selective with products, and know that the test patch is my best friend.






    Seeing as I was already familiar with this preservative-free skincare line, I decided to buy the mask. It's like shiny, silky black satin. So cool.





    As instructed I put on a nice even layer. It dried in less than ten minutes. Sadly, it wasn’t easy to peel off. I was expecting a few swift motions but instead it was coming off bit by bit.


    While it removed impurities and dead skin cells, the mask was more of a wash-off than a peel-off.






    Skip it.
