    Take out those toxins

    I love using this mask twice a week, when I really need an extra cleanse for my face. It works amazing! I first got it as a sample at sephora, but ended up purchasing it.

    We see a difference

    we see a difference after one use , but for optimiser the results, use weekly. Also exfoliate the face during the week. Important to apply only where you need it because this product is quite strong.

    Did not work for me

    This product had great reviews and when it first came out, they marketed it like crazy. I'd thought I would give it a try, and it was a big mistake. I am sure it works for a lot of people due to the overwhelming amount of great reviews, but if you have sensitive skin like me, I would recommend staying away. This mask broke me out like crazy after the first time I used it. I don't have acne prone skin, I get random 1-2 breakouts every month. But literally a day after I have used this mask, I got 4-5 breakouts instantly. It was bad. At first, I thought it might have been stress or PMS, and I still have the benefit of a doubt for the product, so I tried it again a couple weeks after. But the same thing happened, and I returned the product immediately.

    Love this mask!

    This is one of my favorite affordable masks! it's not a miracle worker but I do notice a difference within a day or so of using it. It's not overly drying for my skin either, which is a bonus. I find it just as effective as other more expensive masks that provide similar results.

    Great to deep clean pores.

    This mask is intended to deep clean your pores and i believe it did exactly that. I applied this mask and let it dry on my face. It did seem to tingle or slightly burn but I left bit on till it completely dried. When it dries completely your face is left feeling extremely tight which i didn't personally like but others might. I was thinking from the sensations I was feeling after applying this mask my skin would be left looking and feeling dry. Thankfully my skin looked very clean and even toned and felt soft and smooth to the touch. Although this seems like a good detox mask I think it would be better suited for those with oilier skin as opposed to my normal to combination skin.

    Best Charcoal Mask

    I love this charcoal mask. It's reasonably priced for the amount you get. You don't have to use a lot to see result either! I noticed clearing the next day.

    A mask that leaves skin feeling soft

    I've been using this mask every other week in rotation with the Caudalie ID mask and have noticed great improvement in the overall appearance of my skin.

    Priced at $32 I'd say this is an excellent price for the amount that you receive and how long it will last. I purchased mine November 2015 and I still have over 1/3 of the bottle left... I mean whatt???? I apply it fairly generously as well which is what really surprises me. Great value, definitely.

    As for application, I apply a medium-thick layer to my face and let it dry about 10-12 minutes. Any longer and my face would probably shatter. I do start to get a bit itchy once it has dried but this may be because it dries to such a hard layer and due to the fact that I have sensitive skin.

    Overall, an excellent product that really does what it says. It leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated and clean.

    Added to routine!

    I had a few samples of this before i took the plunge and bought the full size.

    While it doesnt do wonders for my sebaceous filaments (nothing does!) this mask does make my skin looks cleaner, clearer and brighter. I enjoy using it and it doesnt dry out my skin like crazy.

    I usually multi-mask with it so only use on my nose, chin and forehead.

    Its not cheap, but not silly expensive.

    good but not the best

    I bought this mask not too long ago at sephora and I do like it but I have used better. It is great if you have oil on your face and clears blemishes quite well.

    Great mask!

    I love Origins and all of their face masks! This charcoal one is one of the ones I use more often as I have very acne prone skin. I love the feeling of this mask after I wash it off; it makes my skin feeling really fresh. However, it isn't as effective as I would like in clearing my pores. My skin definitely breathes easier after using this mask but it doesn't leave my skin blemish free. Would recommend if acne is not terrible, however, if you have dry skin, you might want to stay away.
