Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores -- pics, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I have to admit that I've fallen in love with the Origins brand. I don't know why, but I haven't tried their products until just a couple months ago. So far, every product I've tried from them has been a home run! One of my favorites being their Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores.

Check out my pics, swatches, stats, and review...

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask to Clear Pores Review:
This is one of the best masks I've used for clearing my pores and helping with acne. You can see in my photo above, where I show how it looks immediately after application and then once it dries, that the mask will focus in on all the bad spots and work like a magnet to clean out your pores. I was impressed from the very first use and I continue to be impressed every time I use this mask.

It's recommended to use this mask once a week, but if you have oily or acne prone skin you could use this twice a week. If your skin is good but you suffer from time-of-the-month breakouts, use this mask twice during your problem week and then once every other week as a preventive measure and to help clear your pores. I've been using this once a week, but if my skin is acting up I'll use it twice that week.

For $22 this mask is well worth the price. You don't need a super thick layer to get the job done so you'll get plenty of uses from this one tube. I fully plan to re-purchase when I run out.

Overall, yes, I absolutely recommend this!
