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.

Highly recommend

This is the first Q&A purchase I made because I needed a mask. I love this so much. It smells so good. The texture is lovely. It makes my skin feel so clean, smooth and hydrated afterwards. I use it once a week and will definitely buy again.

Soft skin!

I really loved the way this charcoal mask was completely different to any I've previously used :) rather than drying out my skin, it seems to smooth it out. My skin feels so soft afterwards and the mask doesn't cause me to break out

Fantastic face mask

I haven't used a mask in a while - mostly because I find they don't do what they say they will and often feel very chemical. So, what can I say about this - WOW - the way it felt when I spread it on and the fantastic, fresh, smooth skin I was left with after washing it off. I won't use another mask in a very long time!
