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.

Fabulous

I love this face mask, my skin felt so soft afterwards without any of the tightness that is sometimes associated with a face mask. Definitely recommend!

Great Mask

I am very happy with this mask, it didn't dry out my skin and I was really pleased with the clear complexion afterwards. 10/10!

Best charcoal mask ever

I use facemasks regularly and have often tried charcoal types to dry up or even out areas on my t zone. This is the best charcoal based mask I've used as it doesn't over-dry (even when fully dry) and you don't need to scrub to take it off. It left my skin soft and not parched like some charcoal products. It also smells lovely!

THE best smelling face mask

I absolutely love this face mask. It's so refreshing and my skin feels amazing afterwards. The best bit for me though is the smell. I LOVE almonds. And this smells so sweet of almonds I find myself walking past my shelf and I just open it for a sniff, it's so good. Would highly recommend!
