I love how this is so refreshing and smooth x would highly recommend it to anyone with acne or just wanting to have a face mask to enjoy on your casual Friday night hope this review helped xxx
Tried this product as brought a gift my friend commented how good my skin looked and asked what I was using
it was good but didn’t felt like it help a ton, recommend cera ve such gd stuff x
I love this mask it feels really luxurious and leaves my skin feeling good. Would buy again.
This clay mask is not as good as other brands clay masks I tried before. I did not notice much glow or moisturising effect after using.
Did exactly what it was meant to do. Left skin feeling fresh and clean.
Very good face mask and wash! I have oily skin and found this to be great and also I have sensitive skin and had no issues with this 🙂 plus I got it on sale but would be happy to pay full price
It’s my favourite thing to use. I work in construction l, so my skin is exported to a lot of dust and this mask cleans it after a long day at work. And when on a promotion it’s a better price than in the shops.
Really good sceub and mask. I use it couple times a week, either as a scrub, then left on as a mask, or the other way around. It is really good and not too harsh on my sensitive skin. Lovely scent. Keep repurchasing ot once it runa out. Would recommend!
The face mask is great and really moisturising. I would recommend and really cheap for a good quality mask. The only thing I had a small problem with was removing it.
Love this face mask
You don’t need to use to much at time so last a while.
Smells nice and my face feels lovely after
I have a few different one of these
I have sensitive skin that during winter can get oily! This face mask once a week makes my skins silky smooth without ANY breakouts.
Perfect for a self care night.
I love this product. I’ve tried other brands and products from L’Oreal but they have all caused my skin to feel tight and sting. This one is great for my sensitive skin. I had black heads and blocked pores for years before trying this one. Stubborn ones came away after preserving and using it for a week more or less. ( some did come off after first use)
No need to coat your face with this mask , you can just apply thinly with finger , right money saver here, my skin was getting the odd blemish which is unusual for me and this saved my skin
Highly recommend
For years I used the MUDD range by Chattam but haven’t been able to source any for over a year. This is the closest I’ve come to the MUDD range – dries hard and washing off with a microfibre cloth really exfoliates well. It’s not expensive adn I use twice a week in the evening before I apply Alpha H Midnight Boost. My skin is glowing.
Brought for my 13yr son who hates his acne.
He’s using it a few times a week.I wouldn’t say it’s cleared all his acne but he says it makes his skin feel clean,easy for him to apply and wash off
After reading reviews I thought this product would not be for me but wanted to try it and find out.
After one use I am amazed at the difference its made to my skin! Could see all my pores being cleaned while mask was on! I am so impressed with the results, so much so, I will not be using any of face masks!!
I never had any luck with mask like this but surprisingly it’s great for my skin which is normally sensitive. No allergic reaction or anything bad yet. Covers whole face with ease and feels great after removing
his is NOT, i repeat NOT for people with sensitive skin, stupidly, i used this on my face without first doing a patch test, it irritated my skin and burned a lot! I do not recommend if you have sensitive skin, the package came fine, and very quickly, and the overall smell wasn’t unpleasant, but i was expecting it to smell nicer, it smelt sort of like soap, and grass? But however, not intolerable.
It was a good deal so bought this to see if it was as good as the body shop masks, I still prefer their charcoal mask over this one but it does smell lovely but it needs a good scrub to get off. Very thick and lovely texture but probably would try a different one next time instead of buying agai
Purchased as part of a pack of three.
During these times it’s nice to unwind in a lovely bubble bath with the candles and the music. Whole nine yard. Whack this on and sit back and chill out! Forget that the world is on fire for an hour or two.
Either that or you can just do the face mask.
I have fairly sensitive skin and none of these have given me the wrong type of tingle or any other reactions. Highly recommend if you need some TLC for the old face skin.
This is a very nice facemask, it works really well and has cleared up my skin in only two uses, leaving it very smooth and definitely detoxified! It has really calmed down the spots I had and my skin feels so much cleaner. It doesn’t make my skin super dry either – I just use my usual acne cream, a serum and a light moisturiser after using this 2-3 times a week. The only reservation that comes to mind is the strong scent, which smells like perfume. It’s a little too strong, but it makes no difference to the effectiveness of the mask. It would be nice if they made the scent milder!
This stuff is amazing and the only ‘off the shelf’ product that has actually successfully cleared my skin. I’ve been using it 3 times a week and noticed the difference pretty much immediately. I’m so happy! Best beauty product I’ve ever bought and the price! Amazing! Epic! Would recommend to everyone.
I have very sensitive skin, and in the past have gotten very irritated by face masks – but this one hasn’t irritated my skin at all, and you can really see where the mask has soaked up impurities/oils when it has dried.
It is also very easy to remove, just one cotton pad does the trick (or at most 2) whixh really surprised me.
It also smells lovely. It has a nice perfumed scent that is very pleasant.
But, as I said I’ve only had it for a short while, but so far I’m happy with i
At the start of lockdown I decided to try a different face mask, and settled on trying a clay based one. After checking reviews on various websites I decided to try L’Oral.
I didn’t really expect to love it, given it’s a supermarket staple brand nowadays albeit a respected mid-range one. But I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.
The mask is easy to put on and doesn’t immediately harden, so it’s easy to wash your hands etc after application. You don’t get that awful tightening feeling that some masks give as it dries, but you do feel it harden ever so slightly. It’s only when you touch your face after five to ten minutes that you realise it actually has dried in very nicely.
If you forget to take it off after the allocated time or even if you leave it on for ages (as I do at times, albeit not strictly recommended by the manufacturer), mercifully there doesn’t seem to be any reddening or drying of the skin caused by your tardiness. It actually seems to come off just the same as if you’d done it at the exact right time, which is great in terms of flexibility and much better than the ones you practically need a stopwatch for. The only difference is that the longer it’s on, the more you’ll see little flakes of the mask start to crumble if you touch it. But that’s to be expected.
I did once or twice have occasion to cry while wearing the mask (let’s just blame sad movies) and the water didn’t mess up the mask – albeit the trails of tears made their mark and turned my already green face into something resembling a comic book bad guy. If anything, it’s a good way to laugh yourself out of any silly tears.
On the flip side, the mask doesn’t crack too much if you smile or laugh. You can still talk while wearing it, depending on how much room you leave around your lips and assuming you are fairly gentle in your speech. A massively wide smile might cause some cracks but even then, not enough to bring the mask crumbling down off your face.
Removal is easy, just water on a cloth for me, I like the duality of the minor exfoliating effect that has while the mask is coming off, though I imagine you could just use your fingers with water for a gentler removal.
And yes, my face definitely feels the effect afterwards. It’s much smoother for maybe a day at a time. So much so that I feel the need to use this every week now, as I’m used to having a baby soft face, albeit we are sadly I’m 2020 therefore not allowed to be physically close enough to anyone for me to reap the benefits yet.
This is my favourite of all the L’Oral masks (and I’ve now tried them all). Really lovely. Enjoy!
It does indeed help clean out your pores and leave your skin super clean and bright. It’d a bit drying though, I suspect because as it draws out blackheads and dirt it’s also leeching the natural oils from your face – I always find after I’ve used it my cheeks are super dry. If you have very oily skin though this might be beneficial.
Would recommend only using this on the nose, around the nose and chin – and using the blue clay mask they make for other areas.
Smells super nice, dries quite fast. A little goes quite a long way – you don’t need to slather this on.
I have used it few times now and am really happy with this purchase. It really helps with drawing out any impurities.
Will be buying more of this one and similar L’Oreal masks!
I came down with the flu last week and broke out the worst I have in a very long time as I was unable to get out of bed to keep on top of my skincare, and was definitely dehydrated for most of the week. I had very angry red spots all across my jaw and cheeks, some large painful ones under the skin too. I tried cleansing twice a day and, desperate to try and get rid of the spots, used a scrub and a tea tree mask – all in one day (rookie mistake!! don’t do this!!). Not only did that not work but it made my skin extremely dry, verging on scaly, and made me break out more as my skin was now dehydrated.
I applied this mask and, after washing it off, my skin was much more moisturised, the redness had gone WAY down, and some spots had already dried up. Really looking forward to using this in my usual skincare routine to see how my skin improves!
I so wish L’oreal had a gentle daily cleanser version of this product, I love it!
To be honest, I’ve only really ever had a facemask at the barbers.
I have rather sensitive skin so I tend to stay away from them after having bad experience with one in the past where my face was burning up!
I don’t have much to compare to therefore but this product was amazing! No burn at all and when left on for 15 mins it goes hard and you give it a good scrub to get it off in the shower.
Wow, my face felt so smooth and fresh afterwards I couldn’t believe it. Have been using it once a week since and I’ll definitely be buying some more when it runs out, and may up the frequency to every other day!
Highly recommend.
Packaging: Surprisingly great quality glass jar with secure lid and safety lid as well to preserve freshness.
Smell: Fresh, earthy scent that isn’t overbearing.
Consistency: Fairly thick, creamy and smooth texture.
Applying the product is easy, just like any other face mask – because it is on the runnier side, its pretty easy to apply. It does dry fully but when you wash it off, it reverts back to a liquid so i’m afraid it requires a bit more to get off (as I don’t like being too rough with my skin) and unfortunately, make a bit of a mess around the sink but that’s easily cleaned up.
As for the results, I have only used it two or three times so far so I cannot say regarding long-term results but in the short term I have found that it hasn’t made a dramatic difference to my skin yet. I do notice that directly afterwards, my skin looks a little clearer and feels beautifully clean. However, generally speaking I don’t see huge differences YET, that you would perhaps see from Glamglow. That being said, it feels lovely on, it makes my skin feel really clean, and for the price, I would say its a lovely face mask to have on standby for when you need a bit of pampering.
So I was very sceptical about this, all blackhead treatments seemed to pull half of my face away or not work. I was fed up seeing super large pores whiteheads and blackheads all over my face so decided to order this mask to try.
I have ordered two by mistake, glad I did now! I got it today and slapped it on without thinking much, when dried I could see all dots and crap on my face ew its oddly satisfying I must say as so many products didn’t actually work before!
I am putting it on 2nd time to make sure all is gone and will be doing so regularly now.
I have tons enlarged pores in eyebrows and cheek area, back heads on my nose and whiteheads in my chin. They seem now gone at at least cleared and not visible (I know nobody looks that close on my face but it bothered me to see this when doing my makeup)
I really like that mask. The first time I used it I got SO MANY breakouts it was insane. I don’t know if it was an allergic reaction or it was just clearing up all the crap in my skin but I was at home anyway so it’s fine. Now every time I use it, it doesn’t happen. It’s very nice and I use it twice a week to clear my skin and detox. I love it and plan to buy more of these masks and one more detox one when I run out. It says 10 applications or something but I used it so many times and still have the entire jar. Just put a little bit everywhere you need it, mostly in the T zone, you don’t need to cover your entire face, it’s just a waste of a product. The consistency is very nice too, it’s quite thick and dark dark gray and very smooth. I leave it on for 10 or more minutes and wash it off with water.
I’ve tried many charcoal & clay masks and this is definitely one of the best for drawing out the impurities and leaving my face feeling soft and clean after each application. I used it pretty regularly for about 2 months and have noticed a marked improvement, with fewer breakouts and a better skin texture.
Application: I use it every 3-4 days, applying a generous coat on my problem areas and leaving it to dry completely for about 15 minutes before washing it off. It’s quite smooth to apply but washing off takes a little time.
Efficacy: The mask does draw oils and impurities to the surface of your skin, so after the first two applications I noticed that I had more active breakouts than before I started using it, however, once these were gone my skin definitely started to clear up and my pores looked smaller. Just be aware that it gets worst before it gets better, but I’m sure that isn’t surprise if you’re like me and spots are a constant battle.
Coverage/ No. of Uses: about 10-12 full-face applications for every 50ml pot. I do apply generously, though.
Aftercare: It’s a very drying mask so you feel quite desperate to moisturise your face and hands after using it. Maybe that isn’t unusual as far as clay masks go but I’ve used other clay masks that don’t leave my face feeling quite so stripped. (This is the main reason I’m giving 4 rather than 5 stars)
The smell of the mask also lingers, which I didn’t find that bad because I liked the smell (it’s a little… manly?) but it may be bothersome if you don’t like it.
You’re supposed to put certain colours in certain places on your face. I however, decided to put each one in turn all over my face!
I went with the black one first which smells a bit like really nice men’s cologne albeit very subtle. The blackheads and gunk it pulled from my skin quite disgusting. You’ll know it’s doing the same for you if as it dries you see white spots on it; blackheads are actually white beneath the skins surface. Tightens a little bit on the skin and took about 15 mins to dry completely. I used a warm wet face cloth to wipe it off. Did leave a little residue but that probably would have come off with a bit of a rinse. Since I was going with the green one straight after I didn’t bother.
The green one smells more medicinal thanks to the eucalyptus and tightens a lot more on your face. Took about the same time to dry as the black one and I removed in the same manner. If this black one pulled out gunk this one made my skin nice and soft, with no residue left behind.
Lastly, the red one. This one doesn’t tighten on your skin but takes about the same amount of time to try. Smells ok but the black one wins the smell test. Mixed this one with a little water and massaged my face before wiping off with a warm wet face cloth again. This one left my face really soft and shiny.
I have the cleanest, shiniest skin and all the little bumps I had on my forehead are gone. Probably thanks to the gunk the black mask pulled out … gross!
I liked them so much I’ve just ordered a full size black mask and red mask. Even at full price they’re good value. I can get two uses out of each mini pack by the way.
I actually can’t fault this, it has worked so well. I am so bad at remembering routines of putting on creams, masks etc so on a good week this goes on twice a week max but even that is enough to help. Leave it on for 10-15 mins, rinse off. Simple. The biggest thing I see is that it soothes any on the surface making it less noticeable which for me, makes me more comfortable and confident. It also leaves my skin so soft. Just be aware, don’t put loads on or you’ll get through the pot quicker than expected as you’ll have loads left on your hands. A little bit goes further than expected.
