works well takes a bit to dry

Make sure u have plenty of tome when u use this facial. Took 4ever 2 dry...I'm talking like over an hour. The results were not very impressive.

Jumping in on the charcoal ingredients for beauty products, I saw a few YouTube videos and knew I could use a mask like this. There were DOZENS to choose from, but I saw the "Vegan; cruelty-free, GMO-free, sulfate-free, phthalate-free, and gluten-free" description and that was a real positive selling point. I followed the included instructions - washed my face with very warm water to open my pores - and applied. It was a bit tricky to apply as it says your face should be wet, but when I used a generous amount on a couple of fingertips and "mixed" it with the moisture on my face it wound up opaque and thick. Applying thin layers on top of each other only wound up "moving" the mask around. I made sure to make the edges of the mask thick, too, to give me something to hold onto and peel up. It took a solid 30 minutes to dry, I could tell there is eucalyptus in the ingredients because of the VERY SLIGHT scent, but especially the subtle, cool tingle on my face. Tightened while drying but not uncomfortably so.
Peeling it off was a little ... intense. I'm pretty sure I have less of those nearly invisible, tiny hairs on my face! There was evidence of dead skin flakes, and while I don't have many blackheads anymore at my age, I could see a few of those sebum plugs on the nose portion. I was almost able to peel it off completely in one piece as shown, except for a few wisps around the edges where it was really thin, easily cleaned up with a wet washcloth. My face felt soft and tight, but not uncomfortable or dry. Pores on my nose and the tops of my cheeks, where mine tend to be large were definitely, noticeably SMALLER! The texture of my facial skin looked amazing and I noticed for the next few days, my makeup has gone on smoothly and evenly. Allowing for normal skin cell turn-over, the exfoliation properties in this mask work very well. I imagine that even if you can't stand the intensity of this mask being PEELED off, gently washing it off with a fluffy washcloth will still give you lovely results.
Overall - this is a VERY GOOD value - there's enough product in the tube for at least 4 full masks (YMMV!) and if you just wanted to target your "nose zone", you'll have enough for at LEAST a dozen treatments. Stacked up against the popular Biore charcoal strips it's cost effective if you can master the application technique. I intend to target my nose zone a few times between full face treatments and there's plenty of product for that intention. HTH

This charcoal peel off makes my face super smooth after first use. This really works well and cleans pores like it says. I used this mask a couple of times and noticed the bumps starting to disappear. This is how I used and worked PERFECTLY! I showered and exfoliated, and then put a damp hot towel over my face for a few minute to open the pores to clean it. After, I dried my face and applied the mask evenly all over my face. I made sure they were evenly applied and sufficiently applied. The first time, I tried with very little and it did not do anything. It leaves your skin soft and brighter once it has been stripped off, and does not feel so bad. I would definitely recommend.

Used this, like directed, it did not peel off as shown on the model. Only one little spot on my cheek peeled off, the rest of the face it did not. Washed it all away. Also, no impurities on that one piece that did peel. Would not recommend. Plus felt like I was pulling off my skin. Owiee
