description

What it is: A pore-purifying, peel-off mask with activated black charcoal for a visibly clearer, smoother, more clarified complexion. What it does: The Luminizing Black Mask visibly minimizes the appearance of pores, absorbs excess oil, and gently exfoliates for a bright, fresh-faced appearance. Rich in antiaging vitamin C and antioxidants, this formula visibly reduces hyperpigmentation, minimizes large pores, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and combats excess oil while lifting away clogging impurities for radiant skin. What else you need to know: This contains charcoal.

This mask looked so promising -- Boscia's a good brand, the ingredient's list looked appealingly herbal and the mask was a peel-off that I thought might get rid of some of the skin gunk that has...

MEH. I am a lover of peel off masks and I have generally had good experiences with Boscia products, but this one really fell flat on its face (hah). This mask really does nothing in the...

I got this Boscia Lumiizing Black Mask after someone on Instagram suggested it about a few years ago or so. Using this mask is fun and a bit of work. My cat look surprised to see me with this...

I think the mask is a bit overpriced for what it actually accomplishes. It hasn't really helped me with my acne, discoloration or clogged pours. What it has done is that it makes my skin feel...

This mask is great. You can see all the little blackheads it removes. The mask being black helps you to see the results. I love knowing my pores have been cleaned so deeply! Doesn't take long to...

This is just a glorified, liquid pore strip. The first time I used this, I put it all over my face as per the directions. If you have peach fuzz on your cheeks, do not do this! While it was okay to...

Neither horrible nor anything special. It is a typical peel off mask, with nothing special to justify the exorbitant price point. Pitch black color makes it sort of fun, I guess. Very thick,...

What a hot mess. This is exactly the same thing as the cobalt blue brush on mask made by Max Factor in the seventies, and memorialized in the beauty party scene of the movie Goodfellas. You spread...

it's a weird black color which is fun but it doesn't do much besides dry the living hell out of my skin.

Nothing particularly spectacular about this mask. No noticeable changes to my skin after using it, aside from new found dryness (either in terms of luminosity or in a reduction of blackheads). ...

I got a sample of this a while ago and it isn't amazing but it isn't bad either. I am not a fan of peel masks so I already don't like it that much. But when I did use it, I noticed that it did lift...

I'm conflicted about this mask. For reference, I have extremely dry, sensitive skin due to illness so I was excited to try this because of it's claims of luminosity. I have relatively perfect skin...
