Brand Name: Origins (Clean Improvement) Available at Online stores such as EBay/Amazon Also available at Sephora, Macy’s Retail Price: CDN$ 24-35 Review: Source: http://geekgirlworld.com/2016/01/16/beauty-review-origins-clear-improvement-active-charcoal-mask/ This mask is formulated with bamboo charcoal, white china clay, and lecithin – ingredients which Origin claims are able to clear out clogged pores, absorb toxins, and dissolve all impurities. The Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask is a rinse off mask (rather than a peel), and it’s designed to be used in a short time span (compared to masks which are designed for overnight use). I have been trying this mask on for size for roughly two months now, using it once or twice a week immediately following my normal cleansing routine (and facial steaming). I would lather on a decent amount of product to ensure that the mask was evenly distributed on my skin, and then the wait would begin. The initial sensation the mask brought upon my face was a very mild stinging (which usually occurred when my cleansing method was my Clarisonic brush), but that feeling would subside quickly and turn into a cool sensation that was definitely relaxing. My skin would feel noticeably tighter as the mask would dry and harden, making it absolutely impossible to even move my face or break a smile without cracking the mask (this ultimately became a cruel game for my jerk boyfriend and sister, who purposely wanted me to lose face). Even though this product does revert back to a more liquid form when exposed to water, it still takes some time and serious rubbing to rinse it off completely. It also leaves one hell of a mess, as the rinsed off product would stick to my sink basin rather than sliding down the drain, leaving slippery, nasty grey residue everywhere. So, on to the big question here: does Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask deliver on its promise of clear, clean skin? Well… yes and no. I did experience some small breakouts after using the mask the first few times (which is natural and normal, as the mask purged out the underlying impurities), but after a few more uses this stopped. I also noticed that my non-hormone related breakouts seemed to decrease considerably, which made me and my acne prone skin extremely happy. But as far as blackhead control goes, I wasn’t impressed.

I get lots of black heads and wanted an affordable way to remove them. No complaints about delivery or packaging. The mask tends to be messy if you apply with your fingers which I did because I don't like cleaning my brushes unless necessary. It's very gooey and it dried unevenly but that could also be because I didn't apply it evenly. I just kinda smacked it on and when I was done my fingers were black and my face felt tight. Peeling it off was hard as it was a little painful. The skin on my face is not particularly sensitive but it took me a good 10-15 minutes to peel it off so I wouldn't rip my face off. It seriously did not feel good coming off. But I figured if it hurt as it did that would mean all the goop in my pores comes out too right? Wrong. This mask did not remove any of my black heads or goop in my pores, all it seemed to do was peel off some dead skin cells and peach fuzz which is guess isn't a bad thing but certainly not what I was paying to have. I tried it again only washing my face with warm water before hand and I got the same result. Just peach fuzz and skin cells, my blackheads still nestled tightly in my pores. So of course that's why I deducted two stars. It wouldn't be bad just as a skin cleanser and hair remover but it doesn't effectively remove black heads and I didn't see any improvement in my acne Brand Name: Mabox Features  Blackhead remover & impurities cleaner  Make your skin sorfener and cleaner  Easy to use: Open your pores with a hot towel, apply medium coating to the black head evenly and wait till it¡¯s dry.

After watching some YouTube video fails one might wonder why we would want to risk it. I am now wondering why as well. We did a Facebook Live video of our experience that you can watch and see just how much it hurt taking it off. Missy more so than Shirley, clearly she has leather skin or put moisturizer all over her face before she applied the mask. The smell was horrible. I couldn’t decide if it smelled like tar or gasoline, I was actually nauseous all night long after taking the mask off. It took around 5 hours for my face to stop burning. I didn’t break out and my face did actually feel smoother after we were done. We would expect that after feeling like we ripped a layer of skin off of our face. I did notice blackhead in the mask after I removed it. So, yes it worked in that sense and my pores looked clean. Would I do it again? No. The smell and burn were just too much!

After about 15 minutes or so of letting it dry, I quickly discovered that it was a peel-off mask. What I also quickly discovered was this- it was a heavy duty peel-off mask that will not only snap out the blackheads but also whatever else you may have in your skin. Ouch. Like, major ouch. I’m also a bit of a sissy but still. Ouch. I ended up grabbing a towel and used it to gently coax the mask off with some water. I did peel it off my nose though, and it stung a lot. By the time I was done, my entire face was red but also……perfectly clear of blackheads. The mask worked well…possibly a little too well…either that, or I just need the directions in English. If you have stubborn blackheads and don’t mind the sting of peeling this off, then this is the mask for you! I’ll continue to use this, but only as spot-treatment, and possibly with a moisturizer under it first!

This time, I tried out My Scheming’s Blackhead Removal Activated Carbon Mask Set, a 3-step kit to remove stubborn blackheads, whiteheads, acne and sebum while tightening pores. The kit consists of 3 products to soften, cleanse and heal. Here are their respective ingredients and functions as mentioned on the kit : 1. Deep Pore Sebum Softener 20ml Ingredients: Aloe extract, green tea extract, papain Penetrates pores deeply to quickly dissolve accumulated sebum, dirt and dead skin, and to promote normal skin metabolism and tone skin. 2. Blackhead Removal Activated Carbon Mask 60ml Ingredients: Charcoal powder, vitamin B5 Natural active bamboo charcoal provides superior absorption capability and helps control sebum secretion for more translucent, glowing skin. The mask uses mainly charcoal made from moso bamboo, which has a refined structure and is rich in minerals. The color of the mask comes naturally from the charcoal. 3. Skin Clarifying Pore Treatment Essence 20ml Ingredients: Vitamins B3 & B5, urea, lactic acid Deeply moisturizes and hydrates skin while minimizing pores. Restores skin elasticity for more supple, radiant and healthier skin. The verdict: Blackheads and whiteheads are always a pain in the neck. Squeezing the skin results in inflammation and enlarged pores, while scrubbing can cause peeling and dry, damaged skin, and picking ends up in painful and damaged pores. Despite being a bit time-consuming, this blackhead mask brilliantly completed its mission without harming the skin. The results are evident even the first time you use it. I’d recommend it to anyone suffering from blackheads!
