This is a really fun mask to use. It's a color changing mask that starts out pink, turns to gray, and then ends white. It is an easily spreadable creamy mask. I usually scoop out the amount that works best for me (less than half a teaspoon) of the pink mask, and then massage it onto my face. It turns gray fairly quickly while rubbing it onto your skin. I usually leave it on less than 10 minutes, as it does dry down pretty fast for me. You don't need a thick layer of product. I have oily skin with noticeable pores, so I am always looking for a good mask to help me with these issues. This mask always purifies and detoxifies my skin, and I can see the excess oil pulled out after each use. My skin looks smoother after each use, and my oil is under control. Key Ingredients: Calamine - calms skin, and controls sebum Charcoal Powder - absorbs excess oil and dirt to reveal clearer skin Green Tea Seed Extract - improves moisture, fights acne, unclogs pores, and reduces inflammation. Salicylic Acid - fights whiteheads, removes dead skin cells, fights inflammation, reduces sebum secretion, and strengthens the moisture barrier. Ingredients you WON'T find: Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates

I can't say enough good things about this product. When I first purchased this product, I was looking for something to help clear out my pores & minimize their appearance. This mask did everything I needed! It is a swirled mask with both actived black charcoal and binchotan white charcoal (with kaolin clay as well), that when applied turns grey. It doesn't dry out my skin while drying. I can tell it's tightening my skin, but it is not unpleasant. After I wash the mask off (I've only ever used pre-shower, so I take off in the shower), my skin looks clearer, brigher, and smoother. It has improved the appearance of my pores, and I have ready purchased another jar.
