Most Helpful Positive Review My favorite! I love this mask! I have been using this since it first came out and am so glad it (along with the other Boscia products) is FINALLY(!!!!!) available at Ulta--I thought this day would never come! I try to get everything at Ulta because their point system is 10x better than that "other big beauty retailer".
Anyhow, back to the product itself... I can see why some people say this might sting a little bit taking it off if they have a lot of peach fuzz on their face but I really don't think it's that bad--just make sure you apply it carefully to stay away from your hairline and eyebrows. I definitely have LESS peach fuzz on my face after using this for years. My skin is very oily, always congested and prone to breakouts. I actually leave this on my face for 1 to 2 hours because I notice it takes more "gunk" out of my pores that way than when I only leave it on for the recommended 30 minutes. Because it is black, when you peel it off your face you can see all the nastiness it pulls out of your pores--it's like a full face biore strip. And my face feels sooo smooth afterward. Just love it!
Most Helpful Critical Review Painful under the skin bumps? So I had been real curious about this mask ever since we started caring it. My friend got this as gratis and I saw it in her bathroom and asked her about it. She told me she used it once and it broke her out with these huge bumps that were under the skin. She told me I could have it, so thinking okay well we do have completely opposite types of skin as she has dry more sensitive skin and I have oily/normal skin this will be fine. WRONG! I WAS SO WRONG! I have never broken out this badly from anything and this mask really put a number on my skin. I have a very strict skin care routine and after countless brands and trial and error, my skin was finally where I wanted it to be. I used this mask one time and the next morning I had 4 very painful, huge under the skin bumps that still have not gone away. It has been over a week since I've used this mask and two of them are finally going away. I don't think this is an allergic reaction due to trying multiple different brands, masks, face cleaners, toners, moisturizers, etc. What would the odds be that my friend and I would both be allergic to this mask? It is possible but I highly doubt it. So to conclude my long story, I'm highly disappointed with this mask and wouldn't even let my mom try it.

I've been a long-time user of this mask. I use it as a spot treatment for my breakouts, works like magic, they're gone overnight. Recently, I used it on my mom's nose; she had a lot of blackheads. All were gone when I removed the mask. If you use it very little product, it will be hard to remove.
I LOVE this mask 5
Mandi from Virginia
I've used this mask for years and it makes my skin smooth, it removed peachfuzz and impurities, and creates a good base for my night cream.
Literally does nothing 2
Heidi from Houston,TX
I saw no effect after using this mask. I distributed enough product evenly on the face and I felt no difference. First and last time using this product.
Love it 5
Steph from New Jersey
I agree with some of the other posts. I received this as a free gift, the small bottle lasted me for months but gave me a good chance to use it to make sure I wanted to continue buying it. I never would have just bought it but so glad I tried it and now it's my new go to!
Long time user of ALL of the masks they have ever made! 5
DeeBee from New Jersey
So, I agree with some reviews, I do feel the formula has changed. I was a fan of their white and blue masks that they unfortunately discontinued but thrilled that the black stayed. Now, even though I believe the formula to have evolved, this is still a top notch peel-off mask. After fully cleaning and exfoliating my face, I will use this 1-2x's a week and you can't believe how much left over residue it removes!
If your on the fence, totally worth a try. It tightens my face and leaves my skin perfectly prepped for my serums and creams.
Fine to use as a face wash. 1
Nettie1970 from Wyoming
I just used this as a face wash but it really doesn't do much. I received a free trial but I would never purchase this.
Wouldn't buy it again 2
Star from Los angeles
So this product does leave your skin looking nice but because it does not only remove some blackhead but also because it removes all the peachfuss from your face which makes your face look so much nicer. I would use it all the time but then one day i noticed some hairs under my chin growing thicker than usual . That scared me so i stopped. What if one day you cant afford to buy this product then what will u do when ur peachfuss starts growing thicker than usual.
what happened to the original formula 1
smolspooks from los angeles
i was using this mask for YEARS hence why it was always my go to. but the most recent tube i got doesnt perform the same. it dries down super hard & is so painful to peel off, even with an even layer the mask still peels of in sections & barely cleans out my pores. super bummed its not performing the same as it once did
Re: complaints about the gray 5
Ulta addict from California
This product works well for me. For all the people that keep complaining it comes out gray and need to return it, the product is fine, but the black does separate over time. I put mine in an empty clear jar I had leftover from another product. If not used for a while (weeks-months) it does separate and I see the black go to the bottom. I just stir it with clean stick before apply and it works likes new.
Perfect for oily congested skin 5
Niki from Greece
I have used it many times and each time I am amazed at how clean my pores feel. Never thought that masks could do such a great job. I would love to try the hydrating black gel too but I can't find it on a European site. :(
Sample!! 5
April Rose from Cali
I was given this mask as a sample I'm always excited for samples so I have normal to combination skin I use this once a week I had no break outs, no redness, eyes didn't burn I had no reactions to it I absolutely love it my skin loves it!!! Sample before buy!!!
I don't understand how this isnt rated higher. 5
Jess Has No Filter from SE US
Pothole pores and a blackhead gardens have plagued me since high school. This mask is a peel off that operates like a face mask sized biore strip, but with efficacy. It is one of the few and the proud staples in my bathroom. I can visibly see a difference after peeling this bad boy off.
My favorite influence (aggy) got me onto this 5

I got the sample and instantly loved it.
The perfect illuminizing mask...so satisfying 5
anonymous from Undisclosed
With so many masks out there I really enjoyed this one. So easy to apply and see really great results
sample try 5
jac from bloomington
nice, doesn't hurt the face when it comes off. gotta use the whole sample for one mask tho so I agree with many other comments. nice mask otherwise, I was super happy it didn't rip my skin off.
Hard NO 1
New Momma from Buffalo, NY
I'm a tried and true Boscia lover... I think I've tried every single one of their products! This is a hard no for me. First, no matter where I put it on my face my eyes BURN horribly. Second, it's ridiculously hard to get the mask to come off in one piece vs. multiple pieces and when it does come off there is like nothing on the mask... not really sure what it does. Third, I get 2-3 masks out of this tube. No go for me.
I would def buy this again! 5

Thee best mask around! No doubt!
Skin looks good and love burning wood scent but peel off 4
D3kingg from H Town
I only get about 3-4 uses out of the bottle. You have to use a ton and find peeling it off challenging but I'm getting results. My skin looks shiny. 41 yr old male. Black mask is my fave and am big fan of Boscia because of my sensitive skin.
Never buy a product just because it says for men on the label. Boscia is the real deal.
love the mask, wished more product content 4
anonymous from Undisclosed
i loved using this mask! not always a mask fan in my skincare routine but i know i need to use them once in a while. i love it but my only negative is that i wish it has more product.. i feel like after using it twice... i dont think i have much left for more mask sessions in the future.
I may buy this product again. 4

It is a bit more difficult to peel off than other masks I've used, but it seemed to do a nice job.
Best Mask in the last 10 yrs! 5
anonymous from Undisclosed
This is the best mask I use and I've been using it for about 10yrs. It cleans pores and immediately brightens and evens skin tone. I am a mask lover and use this in conjunction with other hydrating and clarifying masks, but this is the most effective mask I use. This mask is a must-have!
Pleasantly surprised. Will be buying again 5
anonymous from Undisclosed
This was way easier to use than I thought it would be. Peeled off in almost a full sheet, only had to rinse a spot or two I left thin. I've used it twice and my face seems a lot cleaner and smoother right after.
inconsistent product - burning eyes from fumes 4
anonymous from Undisclosed
I loved this mask as a sample, but when I used the full size product, it burned my eyes. and then I broke out in a mild rash around my eyes. I keep the mask away from my eyes in true panda eyed fashion so it shouldn't have caused a reaction so I am not sure what went wrong maybe it was a bad batch.
The sample however worked great so I still give this a 4 star review, just would like a consistent product from the manufacturer

This is a great product. My pores loved it. My husband found the mask process interesting and em wants to try it too. My skin felt good after the mask was removed.
