Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask

This is a decent mask. I have very oily skin and tend to have some acne. I never really noticed a a big difference in my pores being clearer or my skin being less oily, but my skin did always look great after using it - bright and super soft. I would have liked to have seen actual unclogging of pores, but I still got blackheads and whiteheads, even the day after use. Still, I would buy it again …Read more

I think this is not a must have for me. I was hoping it would help with blackheads and keratin filaments. It doesn't, I've tried a thick layer or a thin, both didn't lead to any results.
I think if you have under the skin cystic acne this might be a good product to try. I use it as a spot treatment and prefer it like that.
Good product but not a must have.

SUPER DISAPPOINTED.
Left my face red the following days and I am super filled with texture.
My acne seems to be only getting worse after each use.

It's a fantastic product. I have used it more than once and would love to get another one, but we don't have it in Nigeria.

This is one of my fave fave fave charcoal masks. It is simple and lovely and not harsh but will suck all the gross face stuff right up to the surface. When I have angry blemishes (I get whiteheads), I slather this on for ten minutes, wash off and follow up with a soothing mask or treatment (my go-tos for that are the Origins cannabis mask, Imselene's donkey milk mask, or Desitin).

This is a decent face mask. I'm extremely oily. So oily that without mattifying products I wash my face and then every hour after that I'm filling up 3 to 5 big boscia blotting sheets. I also have adult hormonal acne that's exactly the same as my teen acne and although there's nothing I can do from the outside to stop them coming there is things I can do from the outside to …Read more

My absolute must have for clogged pores!!!

Whenever I feel like my skin texture is rough or is getting congested with black/whiteheads (particularly on my cheeks and jawline) I exfoliate thoroughly to remove dead skin and apply a opaque layer of the masque to the area and let it sit until completely dry.

upon application it can sting slightly if you have sensitive skin (like …Read more

I have normal to dry dehydrated sensitive skin with no whiteheads or blackheads.
I bought this mask for deep cleansing (pore cleansing). Unfortunately, I had failed to do so. Frankly, I think only peel-off or BHA masks are actually capable of clearing the pores.
Each time I used it my skin felt really clean, but my small pores didn't look any different. The mask made my cheeks …Read more

I received this mask from Sephora by cashing in my points for the small trial size version. I wasn't sure about it so I didn't use it for a month. However once I looked it up on Paula's Choice I was hooked! This leaves my pores looking tight and closed. It makes my face feel very soft and really helps to lift any makeup residue left behind after cleaning. It doesn't have a …Read more

This is really good mask, it's doing its job. Skin after this mask is really smooth and without any oils. Easy to apply and easy to wash off (well, in terms of clay mask). A little bit cooling. It won't do anything to acne, but will definitely reduce blackheads.
