The mask experience is very pleasant. The texture is thick but smooth and easy to apply. It’s NOT a ‘DRYING’ or “PEEL-OFF” charcoal mask. It stays hydrated on the skin, and upon rinsing with water, it transforms into a grayish colored foam, which I gently massage to get an even deeper cleaning. I imagine its exfoliating acids loosening the build up of sebum and bacteria. The rinsing off is not tedious like some charcoal mask. Rather it washes off fairly easily with no residue. My face is always left matte, and noticeably less inflamed (courtesy of its soothing botanical extracts). And the best part is it doesn’t feel stripped or dry. I leave this in my shower to use while showering so the steam can open up the pores. I have been using it at most twice a week, and love following up with a hydrating sheet mask for a multi-masking session. I can confidently say that this mask works so well on my combination/oily, acne-prone skin. My skin is less oily in the T-zone, pores are less noticeable and has been excellent at preventing new breakouts.
