WARNING: THIS MAY GROSS YOU OUT

So I stumbled across this product while I was browsing the internet for good face masks... and I'm completely stunned/still skeptical. It's not by a reputable name brand, but it's got photo and video evidence that it works. By the looks of it, it seems incredible. And it's not expensive, so I don't think I have much to lose purchasing it. I find it interesting that it uses charcoal. This to me seems a very unique way of harnessing its properties. I kinda, sorta love the noire-ness of it all too ^-^.

application procedure: apply a thin even layer on affected skin

time: 30 mins

body location: use wherever blackheads are! [not just nose]

magic ingredient: active charcoal -

active charcoal has the ability to deeply cleanse and purify pores

by absorbing impurities. Active charcoal also has an antiseptic and balancing effect on the skin.

FAQ: Why is the mask better than Pore Strips?

Pore strips may seem to remove blackheads, but pore strips contains glue ingredients that over the long run causes irritation & reduced effectiveness. Pore strips also cause enlarge pores. This peel contains oil-absorbant charcoal & mild ingredients that are suitable for all skin types.

Update 2017: Nowadays anyone and their mom can find peel off blackhead masks thanks to Korea's skincare innovations and new exports to North America. I have since tried them as well, and be warned they HURT when you peel them off. Your baby facial hair will come out with it. Please be aware this is a short term benefit, and longterm simple skincare routine is what reigns supreme. If you want to one of these once in a while for (painful) fun, go ahead. I won't deny that my skin feels super smooth afterwards. Don't forget to moisturize! It totally strips your skin. Here are some options: YEStoCharcoal, Waso Purifying Peel-off Mask, Garnier Black Peel-Off Mask with Charcoal, Lapcos
I've enjoyed charcoal products significantly over the past two years, a major staple being the Biore Charcoal Wash, and their self-heating charcoal mask (omg it feels amazing and your skin glows after!).  

A plus,
