Conclusion: City Block Purifying Charcoal Clay Mask + Scrub
Combines cleansing of a scrub with the oil absorption of a clay mask.
It will help reduce pore size and clear blackheads.
Leaves skin refined and matte, not tight or dry.
Works in five minutes and rinses off easily.
Contains gentle, plant-based soothing agents.
Fragrance-free.
Not only will it remove dead skin, but it also removes impurities and pollution from your skin. This allows for the new skin to appear with a healthy, glowing appearance to it.
When you are washing the mask off, you gently work it into the skin and get the scrub effect but without the harshness of some ‘scrub’ exfoliants, this is perfect as we don’t want to be ‘tearing’ at our face to achieve good results! The other thing I like about this mask is that it doesn’t leave your skin feeling too dry or tight.
It’s not a deep clean, but it helps to keep skin looking good, and it is an important part of your skin management program when applied twice a week.
The reviews for this product have been excellent.
I like that this product has a clean ingredient list, no added fragrance or irritants.
I would recommend this product.

This sounds like a product I could benefit from. I have noticed a change in my skin since the hot summer we have just had in the UK. And being a women of a certain age, I can’t let those fine lines get out of control! I will let you know how I get on with it.
I really like this mask for the oily parts of my combo skin, it really helps to keep the black heads under control. I use it twice a week on my forehead, nose and chin. It dries quite hard and…blue:) but the best part comes when you rinse it, as it doubles up as a scrub and I use it all over the face but concentrating on the oily parts. The skin feels really smooth afterwards but make sure you follow with your serum and/or moisturiser.
Jo, this sounds like a product I could benefit from. As I get older I have noticed a change in my skin and since living in Hawaii and the hot weather almost year around I need to use lotions. My wife use’s Clinique, I will let her know about this also. Products very well described and your conclusion very detailed on what the products can do. Many Thanks
Will this clay mask benefit dry aging skin .
As this is not a really deep cleansing scrub, it is not too harsh on the skin and it won’t dry it out or leave it feeling tight. It helps to absorb the impurities on the skin, and will leave the skin feeling smooth, clean and refreshed. The good thing about this product, it has a ‘clean’ ingredient list, with no fragrance or irritants to aggravate dry skin. As with using any type of ‘face mask’ it is important to always apply a good moisturiser afterwards.
Hi I have found this clay mask leaves my skin feeling refreshed & with a healthy glow without leaving my skin tight or dry, which I used to find with many other brands. I would recommend it.
My skin really feels like it could benefit from this clay mask..as my skin has changed so much over last year due to my age!
