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 is one of my favorite products because it does what it says! My skin tone is so amazingly even after using it and it lightens some pigmentation spots from acne too. My pores definitely shrink...

I love this product! The first time I put it on it was terrible, because I didn't know how much to put on, how long to wait or how to put it on. But after the first time and each time afterwards I...

This shiny black peel-off mask makes me feel like catwoman and is fun to use but I don't think it will become a staple for me. It leaves my face smooth (so smooth it was shiny!) but the effect is...

I got a sample of this from Sephora and have since used it twice so far - and both times were disastrous! The first time I put the mask on, I thought I may have put too little of it since I...

I received a tube of this a while back as a Sephora freebie. It is a peel off mask. I am giving it low scores because it HURTS when you go to peel it off. The mask adhered so tightly to my skin...

It is really fun to use, must use a thick layer or you will have to wash off the residue from parts that don't peel off. Don't notice much other than exfoliating dry skin and making me feel...

Uh, pore strip for your entire face! My face feels bright and clean after using this. It pulls out sebum plugs from your pores and dead skin. I love this, but my one gripe is that it burns my eyes...

Very expensive for such a tiny tube. But I got out about 3-4 facial masks out of it. The tube was a 1 oz. instead of the regular 2.8 oz. Imagine you can get out more than 5+ masks, and that's...
