Face Mask by Olay, Clay Charcoal Facial Mask Stick, Pore Detox Black Charcoal, Spa and Beauty Gift for Women 1.7 Oz

As a woman of a certain age, I still struggle with oily skin, acne, blackheads, large pores and have some sun damage. I have been using the Olay line of products for years. I initially bought the "Glow Boost" (White Charcoal) which I found on clearence at my local Wally World😉When reviewing recommendations from AP, The Trifecta of Olay mask sticks was shown. Since I had the Glow Boost already and it was out of stock, I decided to try the Pink Fresh Reset & the Black Pore Detox. All 3 work very well but I particularly like the Last 2 aforementioned. The Pink brought alot of "gunk" to the surface which made it easier to extract the "ickyness". The Black was great for extracting excess oil. My skin felt so smooth and really clean.I live in a rural area that is HOT, DUSTY, WINDY and My skin takes a beating! Excess sweating from the forehead doesn't help!I don't believe there's a product on the market that is a 100% cure all for skin/complexion problems but find the Olay products very reliable and beneficial to my skin care regime. Overall, The scent(s) are pleasent, easy to apply and remove.Olay products have a broad price point range and this line works well for my budget! My order arrived on time and in perfect condition👍Hope you find this helpful...Addendum: I would like to add that I haven't experienced any irritation, burning or adverse sensitivity. As the clay mask is drying, I can feel the "gunk and impurities" being drawn to the surface!

Makes a visible difference in the size of my pores. Applies so smoothly. Feels great. Smell is neutral. Comfortable while wearing/drying. Easy to wash off. Somehow removed unwanted oils without stripping the skin.

I purchased both the black and the pink charcoal masks from Olay in the same order. I was very excited to try the black charcoal mask as my sensitive skin tend to be fairly oily. I've used other clay masks in the past, and they often tend to make my skin burn, requiring me to rinse then before the recommended time.Applying this mask was fairly simple. The twist-up stick form worked well, applied smoothly, and required very little touch-up with my fingers (mainly in the creases where nose meets face, and around the lip line). I was able to leave it on for the entire ten minutes without any discomfort. The mask does dry a bit while on your skin, but remains pliable and doesn't feel tight.It did take two washcloths, both of which were utterly destroyed, to rinse the mask completely off of my very pale skin. Had I chosen to rinse it off only by splashing water, my bathroom would have been trashed. However, my skin felt smoother and softer after rinsing, and looked a bit brighter.I don't think I'll be using the black charcoal mask again, since I don't want to ruin all my wash cloths. I will continue using the pink and white versions, though.

I bought two kinds: pink clay and white clay. I love how easy it is to apply and watch off. That's a great design idea. Thanks.

I've used countless masks, creams, intensive moisturized, etc. for years. I noticed my skin felt a little smoother afterwards (i do still love Advanced Pure by Purebiology) but i could actually notice some of my lifelong blackheads disappear. I have really sensitive skin so it was a little red and irritated after, but after a little moisturizing cream and then less than a half an hour, my skin actually looked substantially better and felt great. Not dry and flakey as always. I didn't even notice a scent. It was EXTREMELY easy to remove both times with just some warm water and a cloth. Like, easier than most. I really don't know why so many people are have trouble (leaving in too long, maybe a bad batch?) removing it. It takes like 15 - 20 seconds with no color residue. I plan on buying it as Christmas gifts for some beautiful ladies in my life. It did maybe cause one zit to pop up in the middle of my chin that hasn't surfaced in years but I know it needs to clear all that "junk" out

It’s nice being able to apply the face mask with a stick and not having to get your hands dirty. It made my skin feel nice afterwards. However I will say that it will stain your washcloth if you use one to take the mask off, I was unable to get the stain out

Just like the title suggested it worked for me but I can see how it wouldn’t work for some. I will say my personal experience it probably worked too good. After using it for two days once each day, I noticed that my skin broke out a little bit more so for the next following two days. But after that time I notice my skin look much clearer and much better. Now I say this because I work in a hospital ER so yes I do have to wear a mask for 12+ hours during my shift while I sweat and breathe and everything else. It’s a pore cleanser so yes you are going to have some what of what I call extreme results. For me my pores broke out to make it look like popped red pimples for about two days then it cleared up and I had amazing looking skin after. I had no charcoal residue in pores that look like black spots, I had no burning sensations or any other negatives other than I had more or less an acne breakout for two days. Now I mentioned that because I feel that is what it was designed to do, clean your pores. so in essence I think this does it’s job a little too good. After about two days of what looked like an acne breakout my skin cleared up perfectly and I have better looking skin now that I have had in quite some time. I used this on my entire face top to bottom. The areas that saw the worst of the breakout were in the same area that would be covered by a mask, ie, nose, cheeks, chin. I use normal soap, as well as a neutrogena soap for my face, twice a day.
