It's a pity I didn't read the reviews before using this product. I thought you couldn't go wrong with clay, but this isn't the case here. It applies beautifully, but it's impossible to wash off. I don't have any cleansing oils like many reviewers mentioned, so I had to scrub it off with anything I could find. My face turned gray, and I had to scrub the sink and my hands too. Thanks for the "gift," makeup
I received this mask as a gift from a makeup purchase. After reading reviews that mentioned how difficult it is to wash off, I immediately grabbed some gloves, which turned out to be the right decision. I left the mask on for about 10 minutes, and it felt fine—no unpleasant sensations. Although I had read that rinsing the mask off with water was nearly impossible, I decided to try it myself. It turns out to be true, as you can see in the photo how it affects the pores. However, using a cleansing oil, the clay washed off quickly and perfectly. I think the manufacturer should include this information on the packaging and in the instructions: about using gloves, the potential mess in the sink, and the need for cleansing oil.
Now, about the results:
I didn’t experience any hydration; in fact, my skin felt very dry—so much so that I applied cream after using a serum, which I don't usually do, especially when it's 32 degrees in my apartment. I didn't notice any pore cleansing either; they looked the same as before. The only difference was that my skin appeared more matte and less shiny, which indicates it was indeed dried out. However, this wasn't pleasant for me, as I felt the need to keep moisturizing my face.
Therefore, I'm unlikely to use it on my face again, but maybe I'll apply it before cleaning the bathroom—just to use it up.
I received this mask as a gift from a makeup store and tried it while reading some of the reviews below. Despite the negative feedback, I can say that this mask truly works. It cleanses well, but it's important to apply it according to the instructions and not let it dry completely. If you follow these steps, it won't stain your face and will deliver the desired results.
The clay initially stained my skin quite a bit, which worried me at first. However, a cleansing oil easily removed it. As for the quality of the clay itself, I have no complaints. It dried out blemishes effectively, and my skin stayed matte for a long time afterward.
Thank you to the makeup brand for the gift, but after reading the reviews, I'll be cautious about using this product
The makeup store included this clay as a free gift with another purchase. It was a nightmare! I could barely wash it off my face and hands. I had to use gel, foam, and then micellar water to remove it because the clay clogged my pores. By the next morning, my forehead broke out! It's like they're giving away things they don't want as gifts!
I use this mask once a week, and it really helps with my acne by drying it out. It doesn't remove blackheads, but it makes my skin smooth and soft, and it reduces redness and blemishes.
The clay is terrible. It clogs pores, is impossible to wash off, and causes breakouts by morning. I definitely do not recommend it.
The product was a nightmare; it clogged my pores and turned them black from the clay.
I purchased two different clays from the same brand, a green one and this black one. I really liked the green clay; it left my skin smooth and clean. However, I didn't like the black clay because it clogged my pores. I had to use a special brush and cleansing gel to wash it off. Ideally, after using the mask, you should apply a nourishing and hydrating cream instead of washing your face. My conclusion is that the black clay isn't suitable for skin with enlarged pores, as it requires additional cleaning after using the mask.
This is unbelievable! I'm writing this review right after taking an antihistamine because of this "miracle mask"! I've tried many clay masks, not just from this brand, but I've never seen results like this! My face turned red and started burning, and I even developed a fever! The manufacturer should be sued for this! Judging by the comments, many customers have the same issue, so what are you putting in the ingredients? What kind of quality control does this mask go through, and why even release such a product? I don't have sensitive skin, so this reaction is ridiculous! I won't even go into detail about how hard it is to wash off the mask (it requires a cleanser, a ton of cotton pads, and a mess in the bathroom—this is the kind of "fun" you can expect after using this mask, and it's not as easy as wiping off other clay masks). Think very carefully before buying or applying this disaster on yourself.
I didn't purchase it here, but I came to read reviews while using this mask.
I'm not sure if the manufacturer changed the formula, but for me, after 15 minutes, it washed off easily with a silicone cleansing brush without any foam or micellar water. It didn't stain the bathtub black, nor did it stain my face. I even wiped my face with a cotton pad afterward to check if it would turn gray, and it didn't.
It didn't burn my skin, and there was no redness.
The clay is like any other: it reduced some inflammation and cleaned my pores a bit. It does dry out the skin more than the blue clay from other brands, so I had to apply moisturizer twice afterward. Overall, it’s just an ordinary clay mask.
Horrible! It was the worst nightmare I've ever experienced.
The mask is incredibly difficult to wash off and tends to get deep into the pores, staining the sink and dishes. It really does make your skin burn and turn red at first. But once the skin calms down, the results are fantastic. My skin looks smoother and there are fewer breakouts. For context, my skin was severely inflamed and bumpy after taking antibiotics, and this mask helped a lot. After just one use, the bumps significantly reduced. I applied a thick layer of panthenol foam afterward.
I didn't purchase it here, but I want to leave a review. This product is terrible; it's impossible to wash off and stains everything—your face, hands, even the sink. I strongly do not recommend it.
The clay is quite difficult to rinse off, and it's hard to manage without a cleansing brush. However, I usually leave it on for about 5 minutes, then wash it off with warm water and a brush. This gives a peeling effect and deep cleansing. My skin feels very smooth and matte afterward, and it reduces redness.
It's impossible to wash off! Right after applying, it causes a burning sensation on the skin. My daughter and I both used it, and our skin reacted the same way. We ended up with red spots on our faces that look like sunburns.
This product is a disaster. I couldn't wash it off, and it seeped into my pores, leaving my face stained black. I thought it would be a good idea to use this mask before an important event. I had to scrub my skin almost raw, even my eyelids! And my skin isn't even sensitive, nor do I have any allergies. This mask is terrible. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I do not recommend it.
This mask doesn't even deserve one star! I followed the instructions when applying it to my face, and to say it was a complete disaster would be an understatement. After 10 minutes, I started washing it off because I felt uncomfortable (I use the white clay mask from this brand and it's great), but that was just the beginning. It took a lot of effort to remove the layer of clay, and I ended up looking like a coal miner—my face was black, my pores were clogged, and after 10 minutes of washing my face to get rid of this "wonderful black tan," my face turned from black to red, and it was burning. Instead of a clean face, now I have to treat it, as the redness doesn't go away immediately.
I bought this at the pharmacy and left the mask on for 15 minutes. The results are fantastic—my skin feels fresh, redness has disappeared, and breakouts have reduced. I will definitely purchase it again.
The clay is excellent, just like the rest of this product line.
The mask is difficult to wash off and leaves my face red, but after applying a serum, my skin feels rejuvenated. Ultimately, the result is soft and matte skin.
The mask is terrible! It's extremely difficult to wash off, and you can't do it without soap. It leaves your entire face black. After the painful process of removing it, your face becomes horribly red! Just an awful product!
Nightmare! It's like they added dye to it. It's impossible to wash it off your face without additional products. The skin gets stained black...
Terrible experience. I had to wash my face with soap afterwards because it turned black.
