Clear Improvement™ - Active Charcoal Mask to clear pores

:(

I wanted to love this, but it didn’t work for me unfortunately. I used it for about 2 months, still saw no improvements in my skin.

Price increase isn’t worth it

I really like this product but the price has increased significantly, and I think the size has shrunk from 3oz to 2.5oz. Kinda ridiculous :(

Made me breakout

I truly do not understand why this product gets so many good reviews. I have average sensitivity skin, most masks and exfoliants don’t bother my skin, but this mask was very irritating. I applied it, and after about 2 minutes, my skin started to burn. After taking off the mask, my skin was red and bumpy. I would not recommend this product.

Must have for acne prone skin

I have acne prone skin and it clears up my problem areas!

AMAZING AND UNMATCHED

This mask is truly my holy grail! Clears up breakouts after one use and leaves my skin so soft. I couldn't find this product in store so I used the Innisfree Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask once instead and it wasn't the same at all, the Origins Clear Improvement is dramatically more effective (at least for my skin). I highly recommend it!!

My Favorite!

I adore this face mask! I have very sensitive skin, and this mask doesn’t irritate it, nor cause any problems for my skin. I like to wash my face with warm water first, to open my pores, then I apply the mask, and leave it for about 20 min. After I rinse it, my skin is very soft and clear, and my pores are definitely smaller. It’s much better than Kiehl’s Rare Earth mask.

Sensitive skin and Love it!

I have been using this for a few years now and it is great. I have extremely sensitive skin and get reactions very easily and I have never had a problem with this product.

Good brand, helps my skin look healthy

Significantly improved my uneven skin tone and helped reduce my acne scars and acne. Bought full size, I use this product once a week on oily/ acne prone areas or as a spot treatment

A Staple for Minimizing Pores!

I've been using ORIGINS charcoal mask as part of my skincare routine for the past 5 years, and it's my go-to pore cleansing mask. I have combo skin and was looking for something that would minimize my pores in my t-zone area. I tried using innisfree's volcanic clay mask 2 years ago, which I found didn't work as well and came back to using this. I use it once a week to purify and detox my skin from living in an urban environment. I find it does a great job of minimizing my enlarged pores in my t-zone area, taming my hormonal acne in my chin area, and it also tightens my forehead. My skin becomes really glowy, usually 2 days after use. I definitely see a difference in my pores getting worse if I'm not diligent in using this. I wouldn't recommend this for people with dry skin as it can be drying. I use less during the Fall to Winter transition when my skin tends to freak out and get dry on me.

Price

This is one of my go to masks for oil control, but I’m sad to see how pricey it has gotten and will now be off my favourite list. You get less product than what you used to get too! I’ve had a good regimen of skin care which allowed me to do at home as spa facials are simply not an option. How much more is “inflation” going to now push even the most minimal self care routines to unaffordable for anyone. Please stop with the price increase!!!

irritated my skin.

school literally starts in a weak and I put this on bc I thought u was going to get a “clear improvement” but no? It made my skin so red and while I was putting it on it burned so much?!

Meh

I bought this when Biore's charcoal scrub was discontinued. I found it is not nearly as effective for clearing pores. Not sure how it compares to other masks though. I have used it several times over the past few months but only see minimal improvements. Will probably stick to cheaper drug store products in the future. I will say though that the Origins odor is not as strong as alternatives, and I like that the tube is clear so you can see how much product is left.
