A good mask, but there's a cheaper, better alternative

This used to be my favorite mask. I loved the way the charcoal absorbed impurities from my face. However, it sometimes left my slightly oily skin a little dry, and I didn't like the high price (and I had to add shipping to price since I don't have an Origins counter near me). Then, I discovered Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Carbon Mask, which I prefer over this Origins mask.

Overall, though, the Origins mask isn't bad; I just like the PC mask better.

pretty good

I wouldn't say it clears out my pores completely, but it does make my skin feel good overall: cleaner, smoother and a little brighter. It does not rinse off easily with just water however, and turns washclothes gray until you launder them with bleach. I use a scrubby paste to take it off, and that works well.
