Great for teenage blackheads

I use it and it greatly reduces the appearance of my pores - My teenage son uses it and it effectively draws out his blackheads from his newly oily skin

A luxurious kick to the face

5

I'm a male in my mid-30's with a big ole' beard on his face, and I wanted to find a mask to help control my very oily t-zone and reduce the size of my pores. This mask in intense and absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for something gentle, move along. My sensitive skin tolerated it extremely well, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Expect a burning and tingling sensation for the first two to three minutes after application. It literally attacked the huge pores on my nose, and I'm confident that additional uses will help to minimize them. It's easy to remove and left my skin feeling baby soft, smooth, and moisturized. I loved the initial intensity and can't wait to use it again.

NOT FOR SENSITIVE/SEMI SENSITIVE

2

I only use the sample and my skin felt close to being burnt. Rinsing it off it felt like coarse sandpaper. Still after 10 min the skin on my checks and top lip are still burning though starting to dissipate. The oily parts of my face feel good though. My face is just a touch sensitive and I've never had a reaction like this. Please be wary there apears to be no warning though I saw a comment from dermalogic in response to another review this mask isn't recommended for sensitive skin. More warnings maybe needed 20 mins later still feeling uncomfortable tingles in areas.

Burnt my skin

I selected this as a free sample with my order. I used as directed and only left mask on for 7 minutes. After washing off my skin was red and raised where I had spread the mask on my face.

My absolute favorite masque!

I use it at twice a week after my shower hen my skin is warm and my pores are open. It truly is an all in-one masque. It has accelerated the results of the other anti-aging products I use. It even exfoliates as you rinse/massage it off.

Good product but a little messy

3

This is good product for clearing and brightening the skin but it is also very messy. It is quite difficult to remove it from the face and I have ruined a few face cloths (stained them black) in the process. If you are looking for a product that makes your skin look and feel amazing and don't mind the mess and effort then I would recommend.

First time use

4

First time using the Charcoal Rescue Masque, it showed promising results. It did burn in the beginning but, after awhile it calmed down. I could feel the product drying and my skin pulsating. After leaving it on for the required time, I massaged and rinsed it off. It left my forehead and nose very shiny; my skin did dry out afterwards but, I followed it up with a hydrating oxygen mask to restore moisture along with a moisturizer. I will continue the use to see how well it brightens and closes the pores. One thing the box forgot to mention is if the product could be applied everyday. I know the website mentions to use as needed. All in all it's a go. Skin completion: Dark

How much of this product should be used at a time? I am not sure if the layer I applied to my face is thick enough. It seems rather thin and quick to dry and I don't know if that's how it should be or if I should kind of cake it on.

Savannah

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Try a slightly thicker layer of product. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Bernadette

My tube says to leave on for 7-10 minutes. Why are the directions different now? Will leaving it on for longer than 5 minutes damage my skin?

tatopae

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. It depends on whether or not your skin is sensitive. Try it for 5 minutes first. Kind Regards, Bernadette

How long do you keep masque on before lightly massaging? Your website states after 3 to 5 minutes. The 40ml (1.3 US FL OZ) tube I have states 7 to 10 minutes. Clarification is appreciated....thank you.

MC

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. 3-5 minutes is the correct amount of time. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hi, I applied the facial mask with my finger tips and am very pleased with the results. I washed my hands and left the mask on for 10 min before washing off. My face is clear but my finger tips are stained black and dry. I can't manage to remove the stain. What should I do?

sara

Hi Sara, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. It can help to wash with soap and use a nail brush. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Can you use with your retinal products?

Ann

Hello Ann, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. Charcoal Rescue Masque is an exfoliating masque. When using retinol, please do not use exfoliants as they will sensitize the skin. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Is the charcoal rescue masque meant to remove impurites and exfoliate all in one product. I'm alittle confused by what "all in one" means. I use the the gentle cream exfoliant followed by the skin refining mask. Is this a substitue for that since its "all in one". I have purchased it and am not sure how to use it in my current routine. Also, you might want to consider changing your product description. It's confusing and it appears many are having questions about to use it with their existing regimen.

LW

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. If you use Charcoal Rescue Masque, it would not be necessary or recommended to use an exfoliant beforehand. Charcoal Rescue Masque is a masque with exfoliating ingredients. Kind Regards, Bernadette

How often should one use this product? Once per week? Once every other?

kdcatching

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use this masque 1-4 times per week, after cleansing and before toner. If you are more sensitive, once a week is perfect. Please do not use it with any other exfoliants. I personally prefer to use it at night. Kind Regards, Bernadette

Hi,i am a dermalogica user of several products for many years and the charcoal rescue masque was given as a sample size by my dermalogica store at LA. I have used it after cleaning my face and left for 7-8 minutes and then massaging with wet hands washed it. My face was red after washing, after 15-20 minutes it was much better then I put my moisturizer. Today it is ok but I just feel a bit hot. I didn't know the exfoliant effect before I use it. As I am blonde and have a sensitive skin which can be red very easily, I would like to ask if there is any warning for sun after using this masque, due to its exfoliant effect. I am wearing a suncare cream but I just wanted to be make sure as I will go on a holiday now. I am a bit concerned now after reading the negative comments with the redness effect. And I have one more question,as we apply this to clean face, there is no need to use a cleanser after, isn't it? Thanks

gunes

Hello, Thank you for your feedback and interest in Dermalogica. It is typical for Charcoal Rescue Masque to flush the skin of certain individuals. For instance, my husband and I use the same bottle of Charcoal Rescue Masque, and his skin becomes red and mine does not. The flushing should not cause any discomfort. Charcoal Rescue Masque is an exfoliating masque, so be sure to not exfoliate on the same day as using it. It detoxes the skin, and is not for sensitive skin. You can use SPF daily, especially after exfoliating. Finally, you can apply Charcoal Rescue Masque to clean skin, after cleansing.

about how many applications can you get from one tube?

K

Hi K, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. This product can be used 1-3 times per week for ten minutes. Apply a thick layer. As with most masques, there are about 8-15 uses per bottle. Kind Regards, Bernadette

How many times a week should I use this?

TMO

Hello, Thank you for your interest in Dermalogica. You can use this 1-4 times per week for about 7 minutes. Please do not use on the same day as any other exfoliants. Kind Regards, Bernadette
