Not what I thought

I love peel-off masks, so I was excited to try this product. I washed and dried my face then tried to put this on. It was hard to apply, thick and sticky. Could not even smooth it out for an even coverage. I finally had it all over my face ( that is when my dog snarled and barked at me) and let it dry. I started to peel it off and just ended up using a cloth and warm water. It would not peel easily, and I just ended up with a red face.

Horrible

This was part of the Total Beauty box from HSN. It's goopy to apply, ugly to wear, and hard to remove. Even the dog was frightened. I threw the tube away.

Fun =)

I found out about this mask on TV for the first time, and while it looked like something my skin could use due to the cost and so many things that were said about it that I thought were way too good to be true..I was simply skeptical so I did not purchase it, and recently, HSN Total Beauty Collection introduced me to this mask and I was excited to try it as a sample, was very much looking forward ...read moreto see if I like it or not. It's a small tube but for a sample it's not too bad, I was able to get three servings out of it =) The first time I opened it, I noticed the smell was not bad, nothing unpleasant, and the black color, wow, that was Fun to play with ! I applied the recommended amount onto my skin evenly, left it on until completely dry and peeled it off. Peeling this mask off was so fun as well, because it wouldn't come off in one piece, but of course, that would be too easy, but the pieces came off pretty easily, I had fun just standing in front of the mirror and revealing my fresh looking skin, after I took it all off I saw a nice complexion, I really liked the way it made my skin look. There is one thing I will say that bothered me a bit when I first applied it, and I used it three times, it made my eyes teary a bit, as If I am sensitive to some ingredient, what it is I am not sure at all, it was almost like I was near fresh cut onions, as if it was a safe enough of distance to not make me burst into tears but close enough to make my eyes feel that pressure and be sensitive to it. One good thing about Boscia is that they do not test on animals according to the Peta's Caring Consumer Program, which is awesome to know because that means that I can buy their products.

Like a gentle pore strip for your face!

Yes, it really is black. It comes out like a thick black gel, and when you spread it on your face you'll want to apply a pretty thick layer (if you don't, it won't peel off once dry!). It took about 15 minutes to dry on my face, and it did so without feeling tight or hurting. To start peeling I just opened my mouth (which peels it off around your mouth as a good starting point) and started peel...read moreing it off! It didn't hurt as I peeled it off, though I've heard it will remove hair if you've accidentally applied over your brows. I found that it pulled quite a bit of junk out of my pores, you could see it right there on the mask! My pores definitely looked smaller, my face was a bit glowy... I was very happy! I only wish it was a bit stronger and removed more from my pores.

Messy!

I was so excited to try out this face mask because the peel effect is so reminiscent of sleepover days. For super sensory people this mask might be a lot of fun but ultimately it's too complicated. I didn't have any trouble peeling it off the way other people did but I found the process a bit painful. The mask seemed to stick too well and pulled out some hairs on the side of my face. The produ...read morect was very gooey while being applied and I had to scrub what had gotten stuck underneath my nails. Not all of the mask is going to peel off perfectly but I just rinsed my face with warm water and the excess wiped off. If you don't mind things being messy this mask does help clear out your pores but again the process might not be worth it.

Sticky Sticky

Putting the mask on is like putting tar on your face. It was the stickiest, craziest experience of my life. That said, I did not experience any trouble peeling it off. You need to use enough to create a pretty thick layer, but it peels right off. My face felt tight, but I didn' notice any luminous-ness.

unsure

I don't think I put a thick enough layer on, because there were parts of the mask that were really tough for me to peel off. I also go the mask in my eyebrow a bit, which wasn't so pleasant to remove. When I was having some trouble peeling off mask, I thought wow I will never use that again But my face looked GREAT after, the product left my pores looking smaller and my face looking super clean...read more and smooth. I'm not sure this is the easiest product to use to get that effect, but it did deliver on results. You have to have the patience for the peel off mask process I think to enjoy/for it to be worth it.

I can still see all my blackheads

This product did nothing for me when it came to helping remove my blackhead problem (I have an oily T-zone with lots of blackheads on my nose). My skin looked slightly more radiant after using this, but I'm 22 and this isn't why I bought this. I expected clear or at least less clogged pores after spending so much money on this. Sadly, no such luck.

save your money

Pros: Smells pretty good. Doesn't dry your face out. Makes skin feel soft and smooth. Skins looks relatively clear after the peel. Cons: The price. Actually getting it to peel was a little difficult. After one use, I suppose it made my skin look and feel pretty good. However, you can definitely find a cheaper face mask/peel that works just as well and maybe even better (like Queen Helene brands)...read more. The product makes no promises to rid your complexion of black heads or acne, so don't purchase this if that's what you're looking for. Overall, it was an okay product and performed as it promised, but for the price I don't think I'd get it again. Maybe after a second or third use I'll see a more outstanding result.

i saw so many reviews about boscia's peel off mask and was eager to try it, i have lots of blackheads on my nose/chin area coupled with dry skin and am always open to try things to get rid of them.. i applied the mask as directed (its kind of hard to get an even application i don't recommend covering your whole face just trouble spots) when i peeled it off i saw some dead skin on the underside of ...read morethe mask but no blackheads were removed and i didnt seem "luminized" it didnt dry my face out or anything bad it just didnt perform like a $34 mask for only 2-ish ounces should. if it wasnt so ridiculously priced it would have got an 8 from me.
