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.

Daughter suggested

I bought this as part of a starter pack and am sooooo impressed with the whole kit! This mask in particular is beautiful. Creamy to apply, drys quickly and my skin...oh my skin...soft, moisturised (especially if you follow it with the serum and collagen cream) but most impressive is that I can see the difference in my pores. Feels hydrated and looks like it's actually improved the texture of my skin. Would definitely buy again!

Brilliant for pores!

Really pleased my purchase thought I'd give it a go as I struggled with really bad nose pores for ages !! Tried to so many different masks and products but this is the only thing that has actually worked to get rid of my awful pores! And only after a few uses! Can't believe a product so cheap works so well. My nose now looks smooth and pore free.

Best Face Mask EVER!

I cannot even put into words what kind of sorcery is in this little tub! From the first use, my skin felt and looked clearer and even. My redness was reduced immensely and this really helps to keep blemish and impurities under control. My pores also felt tighter which was a big wow factor for me, the mask also washes off SO EASILY! Its not like other masks where you have to scrub harshly to get it all off. I also use this on any little of big spot/pimple I have, sometimes I leave it on over night and the next day its like the pimple has vanished! This mask is so worth it, and its super affordable and doesn't break the bank!

Great mask

This mask is just as good or better than ones that are three times the price. Leaves my skin looking clearer and without redness or irritation - feels less drying than other charcoal masks I've tried. Love it and will be buying again when it's back in stock
