Why is it different?
This unique charcoal gel attracts oil and skin impurities like a magnet so they can be rinsed away, leaving pores less congested and visibly minimized. Skin looks matte and feels refreshingly balanced—never tight or dry.

What does it do?
The blend of porous charcoal, natural clays (kaolin and bentonite), and tapioca starch absorb skin’s surface oil on contact. Willow bark and soothing agents calm skin, while skin-replenishing glycerin adds a touch of hydration for a balanced complexion.

Firm & Clean
Just finishing one tube. The sebum has decreased, and I see less and less clogging of my pores. The texture of this mask is so kind to the skin, doesn't dry it up as some absorbing clay products tend to do. Give it a try! You won't regret if you've skin like mine which is generally oily.
