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.

It is a very good mask but is not worth the fulI price. Bought it as a sample size on Black Friday at sephora. Use a DIY mask and voila. The sample size came with some blackhead pore strips or...

I got a sample from Sephora yesterday. I used the mask last night, letting it dry for a longer time than the directions suggested, and peeled MOST of it off. Then I went to sleep. This morning, I...

I am a big fan of this mask. My skin looked brighter and fresher after I used it, and none of the Boscia products I have used have ever disappointed. The only thing I didn't like that much (and...

I got this masque with Sephora VIB point perks. I'm glad I didn't purchase it because it was disappointing. It's supposed to boost clarity and minimize the appearance of pores. All it did for me...

So this product is an okay product, I would use it, but I will never pay 34 bucks if I can get something better for $1.50. I was always a fan of the daiso charcoal mask, cheap and sweet, if you...

I have avoided peel off masks for YEARS. I used a few back in the 70's or 80's, maybe, and found they were very irritating to my skin. So it was with some wariness that I decided to try the...

First things first: this stuff comes out of the tube looking like liquid black vinyl. Once it is on your face, you will look like Papa Lazarou. Fortunately, it smells fine and doesn't sting or burn...

It makes me break out - which is understandable since it's supposed to be bringing everything to the surface, but I find even after the break out has passed, I still have the same amount of clogged...

Amazing mask! I read a lot of concerns about how painful it is to peel off, but remember, beauty is pain. It's not really that bad, waxing is painful, and also getting our eyebrows threaded and we...

I swear by this stuff. I use it as a spot mask; just on my nose. That's where my clogged pores are. I can always see and feel a difference.

I tried a sample of this a long time ago, a regular sized sample is not enough, as you need a lot of this product to get the correct even layer for it to peel off properly. I picked up a tube of...

This mask is a great alternative to a scrub or peel product. It's like a giant pore strip for your face, only much more gentle. I use it every now and then to remove dead skin, especially of I've...

It's a great peeling type mask. I've tried the others in the Boscia line but this one is my favorite. You don't have to slather too much, just enough for a even coverage. Take awhile to dry, ...

For the longest time, I had been dying to do a facial peel. I know this is weird, but I was craving that feeling of peeling the sticky goo off of my face (WEIRD, I KNOW!). I went to Shopper's Drug...
