Good charcoal mask [SEP] The mask goes on easily with the spatula and dries with a more matte finish to show when it is ready. I could feel it tightening as it dried. It peels off easily where enough is applied, but tends to leave behind the edges, like most of these types of masks do. I like the serum that comes after. I used the mask after taking a hot bath and washing with my regular cleanser to help open the pores, soften any blackheads, and loosen the dead skin. It works well, drying in about 20 minutes. It left my skin feeling soft. I then finished with the serum and enjoyed the selfcare it promotes. A nice addition to my routine.
