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.

Smoothing and calming

Love this mask, one of the best charcoal ones I've tried. Texture is creamy and the smell is not overpowering like some. It left my skin feeling soft and calmed somehow (struggling to describe it!). Will buy again!

Great Exfoliating Mask

The texture of this mask is like no other I have tried. The masks that I normally buy are quite hard and because of the texture it is quite difficult to put on and take off. That is not the case with this mask. I typically leave it on for 20 min and it leaves my skin feeling clean, smooth, and well balanced. I recommend it.

Really works

Have tested a few charcoal face masks and this one is the best! Feels moisturising when you put it in with a silky texture and doesn't dry out your skin like lots of other charcoal masks but still exfoliates and leaves a clear complexion after. Definitely recommend
