My go-to mask
I never really tried masks before, but my clogged pores started creating blackheads and I tried this mask I received as a sample. After only one use, my pores cleaned up very well and all my blackheads were sitting right at skin level, waiting to come out if I pressed my nose or cheeks slightly. So,...

Sensitive Skin: Beware
Bought this product because I've heard great things. Once I used it, I had a full blown allergic reaction! My skin had red inflamed spots in the area of application for 45 min after use along with a slight burning sensation. It did leave my face feeling smooth, however, I would be careful before pur...

BURNED my face
I dont even have sensitive skin and this product severely burned my face. I have a dark red outline where i applied the product and it feels like i have sunburn even after the mask was off. Ive never in my life had a reaction to a product like this
love this stuff
I use this maybe once every two weeks just to detox my skin from everything it's been exposed to and it always feels so refreshing.

The product did apply easily and it was tingly with a little burning sensation at first but once it started drying it burned so much. I rinsed it off and my whole face was bright pink red. I rinsed again and and the burning feeling is less but my face is still really red.

I've always struggled with acne and all the texture on my face and this has helped so much! I think it's the best face mask and a little goes a long way. It's smells good and small enough to travel with. Packaging.

Did Origins change the formula? 30+ year user. Bought the large size at local Ulta, shocked that it was a clear goo, not the charcoal clay mask its always been. Washed off immediately & rinse water was sudsy. I don't want to exchange it if this is a new formula, I will just return the product. So sad.
- Asked by Ulta Ulta
- Official Answer By Origins US ENThank you for reaching out. We have not had a formulation change, however, we have repackaged, so it may look different on the outside. If you have further questions or are wanting more detailed information, please reach out to our Consumer Care team at 855-532-2991.Was this answer helpful to you

Hi, I have acne prone skin with witheheads and blackheads. How is this product different than Origins Clear Improvement Blackhead Clearing Mask-to-Scrub? Which one would be better for removing both white and black comedones without causing a breakout? Thank you.
- Asked by RM
- Official Answer By Origins US ENGreat question! Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Face Mask to Clear Pores is smooth in texture, while Origins Clear Improvement Blackhead Clearing Mask-to-Scrub has exfoliating granules. For those experiencing current breakouts in addition to blackheads, we recommend Origins Out of Trouble 10 Minute Mask to Rescue Problem Skin. It's specifically formulated for acne & oil control. Best to hold off on exfoliating scrubs until current breakouts are under control.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does this product expire after opening? I read that activated charcoal as an ingredient can last a very long time. I bought mine back in march 2022. The product seems the exact same as when opened. I just didnt want to use it if it's recommended not to be used after a certain period of time after opening.
- Asked by Ann
- Official Answer By Origins US ENThank you for checking! Some products include a Period After Opening (PAO) number (which shows a number followed by “M”) that indicates the number of months within which an opened product should be used or replaced. Once a product is opened and used, its integrity can be affected by such things as exposure to environmental conditions or from contact with the user’s skin. If a product is not fully used following that time frame, we suggest replacing it in order to assure product integrity. OR Unopened products should be good for at least 3 years under normal use conditions provided they are not exposed to extreme heat or cold.Was this answer helpful to you

For best results with this product, use it once a week, or as often as you need to. Apply a warm towel to skin prior to applying the mask.
