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 expensive, and because of that I probably won't repurchase. It's fun to scare my kids with when I have it on, LOL! It did as decent of a job as any other peel-off mask. Love the consistency,...

I have combination/oily skin and I found that it cleared out my pores very well. After the first time I used it, I noticed a definite difference. My face was luminized and felt very clean. I even...

I'm glad that I got a sample of this, and didn't pay for it. It's not that it's a bad mask, I did think it pulled some gunk out of my pores, it's just not luminizing at all. Plus, it hurt kinda...

I got this as a sample and I love it. My Face feels clean and fresh and my face looks radiant. It was hard to take this off my face. HOWEVER, if you use a thick layer, it is easier to peel...

This did absolutely nothing to my face besides make me red, red, red. First off, you must use a LOT to cover your face equally and have enough to peel off. For such a small tube, I'm sure it would...

I got a huge sample of this from a lovely Sephora SA, and I have to say--I'm kind of on the fence with this. I used it on my nose, where my skin is most congested, and it is a bit like a Biore...

First off this is near impossible to get on your face in a nice, even layer. Thus making it VERY hard to peel. Second this seems to break me out instantly which makes it suck. Also the price of...

Even though I kept seeing this at Sephora, it never peeped my interest until one of my favorite beauty gurus raved about it. Putting it on was easy, using my fingers to spread the mask thick enough...

Ugh. Frustrating mask!! When I first used it I wanted to throw it out. Peeling it off was a nightmare and I ended up having to scrub the majority of it off my face. So I made the mask thicker. It...

There are far too few peel-off masks out there, and if that's what you like, then this is an easy choice. So lets get to the point, then-- Pros: It peels! It looks like pleather! It smells good!...
