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 face mask ever!!!! Even for sensitive skin

I got this for Christmas and have been using it twice a week since then. Its honestly amazing - it doesn't dry flaky so you can leave it on really comfortably for 20 minutes. I have very sensitive skin and this doesn't irritate me or break me out. Face feels so tight and smooth afterwards, and has definitely helped clear some stubborn spots! Would definitely buy again. p.s. would recommend applying with a flat foundation brush!

Selfcare pure

I am in love with this mask. My skin and myself are very stressed during the week so this is perfect to calm the skin and help it to purify. Would definitely buy again.

Good value and minimises pores

Such good value face mask that is perfect for my combination skin. Have noticed my pores minimising overtime and my skin feels so clean and refreshed after. Comparing it to other more expensive charcoal face masks I've used this definitely comes out on top.
