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.

keeps skin clear and hydrated

I put this on a couple of times a week after using the peppermint face wash and it keeps my skin clear of blackheads and draws out my pimples without drying my skin out

Great for acne prone skin

Suffering with alot of maskne and wanted a mask that would hopefully calm spots and oily skin. Really like the consistency and how it leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth. Not an over powering smell and seems to be lasting me along time so far. Applied to my tzone with a brush once a week and definitely feel less oily!
