Not Good
This is the worst mask I have ever used. Yes, it's black, but big deal. I followed the instructions on the box, and made sure I put on a thick layer, avoiding the eyebrow and eye areas. It is very sticky, which felt awful. I let it dry for 30 minutes, and it never peeled off. It simply was not going to peel, and I had enough of the product on my face so it should have peeled. I did apply it to clean skin. I ended up having to wash it off, and I did not see any luminizing at all. In fact, I noticed no change. My skin looked the same. I have used other masks where you can actually see the visible changes in your face. Not this one. I do not recommend this. — 8 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 9 people said helpful

Bittersweet experience
The concept seems fun to play with, but this reminds me why I haven't favored peel-off masks in the past. Even though it's a fun color (jet black), it reminds me of when we were kids and how we used to put Elmer's glue on the back of our hands (you know you did that)--except it was FUN to peel off the dried glue in the end. This becomes very tacky very quickly, so you have to get in onto your face and spread it quickly. Wait about 15-20 minutes until it dries, depending on how thick or thin you put it on. Make sure you have washed your face beforehand. Here's the BIGGEST tip, you have to put on a thick layer in order to ensure the easiest way possible of peeling it off once it dries. I learned that the hard way and it took me AGES to peel off tiny bit by bit until I tried again with a thicker layer. It kind of helps to smile or scrunch up your face to peel this off, it makes it much easier. As instructed, make sure you put this on below your orbital bone as it can become quite inconvenient and tender to pick it off with your nail within this area. Also, make sure you follow the instructions and avoid putting it over ANY hair, as this can peel out hair kind of like a mini-wax. So ladies and gentlemen, I CANNOT stress how important it is to make sure that you do not put this near your eyebrows. The decent thing about this mask is that any leftover traces can be washed off with warm water (kind of defeats the purpose of a peel-off mask when it's easier to just wash your face). You may or may not need to exfoliate after using this to make sure you get all the product residue off your skin. Normally I've enjoyed Boscia products but I wasn't a huge fan of this. I've very lucky that I received a large deluxe sample from Sephora because I would not bother spending my money on this. Yes, it does make your skin luminize after using it, but so does a good exfoliation. I'm perfectly happy spending $4 on a facial mask that I can simply wash off, but has always been tried-and-true for me with good results. So honestly, this product isn't for everyone, so you might like it more than I did. — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 9 people said helpful

Ridiculously smooth skin!
This Boscia Luminizing Black Mask actually comes in a tube form and I was really uncertain how much I needed to squeeze onto my face in order to be enough to cover my face and form a mask. I dabbed the areas of my face as I would with a moisturizer, mainly the forehead and cheeks before moving on to cover my nose and chin. However, I soon realize that I really wasn't applying enough, and there seems to be a timeframe where if I didn't apply it fast enough, then it would already started to dry up and form the mask and in fact would start to peel away from my face instead of smoothing out into a mask layer. So if there were downside to this process, it would be to find a way to smooth more into a mask layer before drying and peeling. That may just mean I’ll just have to apply more and/or work faster to create the mask. Be sure to apply an even layer to clean, dry face. Be sure to avoid the eye area including eyebrows, hairline and lips! The directions say to leave mask on for 20 minutes or until completely dry. It was starting to get dry for me, and I’m not sure what completely dried meant so I took it off about fifteen minutes in the process. And it’s recommended to use this once or twice a week. I couldn’t really peel this from the edges, because there wasn’t a layer to peel from. But rinsing it with warm waters does miracles, leaving my skin feeling silky smooth! It’s actually pretty awesome. My skin does feel a little stretched but I’m not sure if it’s because I didn’t put use a rich moisturizer afterwards. This product may be a favorite soon, I’ve just got to perfect the mask making process. Otherwise, love the results and how it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards! — 8 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 8 people said helpful
