it s got a thick gooey consistency and spreads pretty easily bare in mind that the thinner you [SEP] this product gets a lot of mixed reviews and that s probably because people have the wrong idea as to what this mask actually does at first my expectations were completely off too it s a peel off mask so i m expecting to pull something out expect what it didn t pull anything out at all however the one thing that made me rethink this mask was that even though it didn t pull anything physical out of my face i did notice these tiny little white spots on the peeled mask and at first i thought they were air bubbles the next time i used it i made sure i didn t have any air bubbles one slick black mask when i peeled it off again there they were little white spots that are slightly translucent then it finally clicked this mask is called sebum out it says nothing about blackheads or whiteheads removal its meant to tackle sebum precursor to black white heads which is oily waxy so if the mask is to pull anything out it s not going to be anything with a physical shape hence those translucent little spotsnow with that cleared up it s a totally different kind of review it is very soothing it s got a thick gooey consistency and spreads pretty easily bare in mind that the thinner you apply this on your face the harder it is to take off my rule is to apply enough that i no longer see my skin tone coming from underneath the mask it s shiny black and smells somewhat minty but very light and the rest of the scent borders medicinal earthy which isn t bad or anything after you apply it its very cooling and minty it takes a bit of time to dry completely especially if some areas have a thicker application the peeling process is pretty painless and easy slow and steady though overall it s a pleasant experience i use this mainly for my troubled areas nose chin and t zone ingredients water polyvinyl alcohol alcohol glycerin charcoal powder bentonite pareth hexanediol camellia sinensis leaf powder citrus limon lemon peel oil ethylhexylglycerin menthol disodium edta allantoin lavandula angustifolia lavender extract chamomilla recutita matricaria flower leaf extract butylene glycol gaultheria procumbens wintergreen leaf extract volcanic ash citrus grandis grapefruit peel oil origanum vulgare leaf extract chamaecyparis obtusa leaf extract salix alba willow bark extract silica lactobacillus soybean ferment extract portulaca oleracea extract cinnamomum cassia bark extract scutellaria baicalensis root extract
