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...

I use this as a spot treatment and as a mask. You get almost immediate results. I would definitley be prepared to moistrize after because it is a little drying but it does the job. Clears my breakouts overnight!
Must Have!!

I have used this mask for years now and I love it, so my 15 year old daughter and 13 year old son both started to break out and when I noticed it getting bad I had them both give this a try twice a week in conjunction with their daily acne cleanser they had been using, well all I can say is that there is a reason I love this mask! Both kids saw results around the third week of use…. Less breakouts, faster overall healing and reduced scarring from the old acne spots. So needless to say this stuff is a staple in mine and my teenagers skin care routine. Definitely worth the price!
For certain types of acne
This always helps clear my pores out but I get those white heads that you can see under the surface of your skin (not the kind you can pop or pop themselves) and are hard to get rid of and I was hoping this would help but it didnt. It does however help with oil and blackheads so I DONT have to pop any blackheads. It doesnt dry me out or cause redness from harsh ingredients.

I actually couldn't believe the results within just the first use. This stuff is amazing, it is like a magnet for all the oil and gunk in your pores and it seriously leaves your pores looking so clean and small. I use this once weekly and it keeps my skin so clear. I will never stop using this and I 1000 percent recommend.
clear pores and fun

The word fun isn't used often in skincare routine, but I used this product with my niece as a little ritual. She helps me put on and then laughs because it is funny to see her aunt with face all muddled up. Then I can't laugh while waiting for it to dry. The peeling part is satisfying I can see all the black heads when peeling it.

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.

- Q
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.
