Everything you need to know about Q+A Activated Charcoal Face Mask

Overview

What it is

This product is a facial mask formulated to remove impurities from the skin. The mask leverages activated charcoal, a traditional substance known for its absorptive properties. The product is intended to provide a cleansing experience, particularly for the extraction of dirt and buildup from pores, such as blackheads.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Kaolin - absorbent
  • Glycerin - humectant
  • Bentonite - cleansing agent
  • Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil - emollient
  • Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter - moisturizer
  • Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil - nourishing agent
  • Charcoal Power - adsorbent
  • Tocopherol - antioxidant

How it works

The mask is designed to improve the appearance of the skin by using key ingredients to clean and hydrate. Activated charcoal and bentonite work as adsorbents, helping to remove excess oil and impurities that may clog pores. Kaolin provides additional absorption, enhancing the mask's cleansing capabilities. Glycerin acts as a humectant, helping to attract moisture to the skin, while sweet almond oil and shea butter act as emollients, providing hydration and softness. Argan oil is included to nourish the skin, and tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, offers antioxidant benefits. Together, these components aim to leave the skin feeling fresh and conditioned.

Best facemask ever

Im obsessed with this facemask. It seems to be the only thing atm which calms down inflammation on my face from mask acne, is so easy to put on and wash off, and stops my skin getting all shiny. Its not harsh at all so doesnt dry my skin out (which usually happens when I use facemasks regularly). If, like me, you have oily but kind of sensitive skin, this will save you

Fabulous product!

Bought this for my daughter who has to wear a mask all day in her job and her skin was suffering. She loves this as it cleanses and smooths her skin and also brightens her complexion.

Deep cleansing

I've only used this once so far, but I was pleased with the results. My skin felt deeply cleansed and my pores seemed tighter afterwards. Delighted to find this innovative skincare company, which has great ethics and is based in Norfolk, UK.
