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.

Great charcoal mask

I really like the thick consistency of this mask as well as the smell. It leaves my face feeling really clean and with consistent use as part of my skincare routine it's helped to improve my skin.

good

I've only used it 3 times so far but I've noticed some of my blackheads fading but also my noticing a few more pimples coming through but I think that's just the mask bringing up all the spots from under my skin anyways it's a good mask and I recommend.

Love it!

I bought this in early Jan and have used it roughly once a week. It's so easy to put on and take off compared to other masks I've tried. It makes my skin feel super smooth and soft afterwards. My skin is quite dry but after using the mask I find I don't need to use moisturiser at all the next day. Love this mask.

Great Mask!

I really like this mask, it's more of a mousse type texture than clay in my view but is so lovely to apply and easy to wash away. I like that it cleans my t-zone pores without drying my face like some masks, which again I think is down to the texture. I look forward to applying this and hope more masks of this type are released in the future!
