Product Review: Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal

Aroma Magic Activated Bamboo Charcoal

First of all Aroma Magic is a new thing for me but what caught my attention was that its a 'activated bamboo charcoal' because I immediately thought of the cult favorite Origins Clear Improvement Mask which of course is not easily available here so I decided to settle down on this.

This comes in a tube packaging which is good. The consistency of the mask is thick and needs to applied on clean and dry face. Leave it on the face for 15-20 mins and then wash it off. So now taking of the mask is a bit tricky, since its black it kinda dirties the sink so you need to be real careful. The mask dries really quick but doesn't feel tight on the skin, which is good. One more good thing is that it does  not dry my skin.

When I applied it first it was scary as its black in color (duh! charcoal right!). But what I loved about this is how it pulled out the all the dirt, oil from the pores and made my skin glow! The glow lasts for a day!

Though it clears my pores I haven't seen much difference on the size of the pores. I mean it tightens the pores but nothing too dramatic. One thing that I personally did not like is that it has a strong fragrance, something like sandalwood oil. Me no likes!
