10 Reviews: Best Exfoliating Mask for Acne-Prone Skin (Apr 2024)

Charcoal is well-known for its natural cleansing capabilities, so it’s no surprise that it’s become a bit of a wonder element in the beauty world. It’s used in The Body Shop’s Himalayan Charcoal skincare products, which are great for deep-cleaning oily skin. This mask is no exception. It attracts contaminants and absorbs excess oil like a magnet. Having all that dirt removed from your skin makes your pores seem smoother and more polished than ever.

I missed the old Scottish/English coast sea floor clay mask for TBS. So when I first saw this I was slightly skeptical. It however exceeded my expectations! I love this mask too now!

A clay-based face mask scented with Tea Tree Oil. Zinc Oxide, Bentonite Clay, and Tea Tree Oil are combined to provide clinically proven anti-bacterial and sebum-regulating properties. This routine’s formulations include anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatories, which aid in the battle against acne-causing bacteria and decrease inflammation in the early and late phases of breakout development.

I've been breaking out BAD around my mouth and cheeks because of stress and hormones and this mask worked wonders. It soothed my active breakouts and didn't cause anything new to pop up. I also love the tingly feeling.

A protein shift in your skin can cause it to lose its natural, young shine as early as your twenties. Original Skin is formulated with Willowherb and combats dullness to help restore the skin’s natural radiance. Thanks to rose clay which gently takes away oil and pollutants while still looking lovely next to your sink. It’s also created with gentle exfoliating beads, brightening willowherb, and sugarcane, a natural humectant, so it won’t get dry.

I really enjoyed this product. I felt my skin was soft after using it and brighter. I used this once weekly and I recommend this product to others.

This brightening mask, in addition to soothing the face and smoothing uneven texture, is designed with probiotics and prebiotics to balance the complexion and enhance brightness.

After using it, my skin feels more fresh. I’m glad I purchased this item on a whim! ☺️

This is a noncomedogenic, mineral-rich clay mask and face cleanser for all skin types that thoroughly cleanses while also minimizing pores and shine. This mask can be used to eliminate pollutants that may block pores as well as a daily deep cleanser or to treat imperfections. The game-changing ingredient is fresh’s centuries-old Umbrian clay, which balances and clarifies without over-drying.

I’ve been using this product for >2 years now. I used to get acne with the humid climate I’m in. This face wash really keeps my skin balanced and feeling clean.

Masks are often divided into two categories: those for oil removal and those for exfoliating. This exfoliating clay mask is perfect for people who desire the best of both worlds. This clay mask absorbs excess oil without over-drying the face, and a combination of hydroxy acids gently peels away dead skin cells while it does so. And don’t be concerned about it being too harsh; it also contains aloe vera and chamomile, which help to keep things calm and relaxing.

This masque helps to clean my skin, minimizing my pores, and brighten my skin.

GlamGlow’s best-selling acne treatment unclogs pores, absorbs excess oil, and has an incredible mix of six AHA/BHA acids to exfoliate skin for better texture and even tone. Activated-X charcoal draws dirt and other skin congestions to the surface, revealing a polished, healthy-looking complexion. To benefit all skin types, it also draws harmful particles within its mass up to 500 times its volume.

This is an awesome product it stops even severe inflammation after one application. I use it as spot treatment as it can be too harsh for sensitive skin and and it also dries hard to remove.

This multifunction exfoliating and brightening mask is excellent for anyone suffering from post-breakout hyperpigmentation. It reduces the look of fine wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, resulting in a more youthful appearance. This exfoliating solution first sloughs off dead skin to improve the texture of the skin. Then keep it on for 10 to 15 minutes to infuse botanical oils and vitamin C into the skin.

This mask is amazing at getting rid of all the dead skin cells & making my skin super smooth & glowy! I absolutely love it!
