Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off Exfoliator, 3.53 Ounce

This is an absolute staple for my skin care routine. I suffer from acne around my chin and mouth area. I had an aesthetician tell me that I need to use a gentle scrub on my face one to three times a week. This one not only is gentle, but it also makes my skin feel buttery soft afterwards. My acne clears up in a day after using the scrub!

Love this scrub gives you a beautiful glow

So I bought this scrub on the ever popular Korean skincare quest to avoid harsher, drugstore standard scrubs which are apparently too rough and damaging. I had seen this brand before, specifically the Peach Sake Toner, and wanted to try so this was a great excuse!Skin Type: Dry and sensitive, mild acne, 25-301. Value: Normally I'm super cheap and don't spend money on this stuff, so initially I was a little taken a back by how small the container is and how much I used per mask. You could probably stretch it out better, but I'm expecting 5-6 uses. However, as elaborated on below, I will forgo this annoyance due to the quality of the product.2. The Scrub: LOVED actually using this, the two-in-one exfoliant and mask is a genius combo. I'm lazy and a busy mom, so being able to scrub then leave on felt like I was using a secret hack. The grit is enough to feel like you are getting something done, but my face wasn't red or irritated at all.3. The Mask: Fantastic! I can do a million things with it on, doesn't budge, drip or move. Literally forget it is there and my skin feels AMAZING and soft after.4. The Magic: So in an effort for a non-scrub option, I was trying out a sheet mask. The moment I put it on, it burned like hell. Took it off, wiped clean and immediately reached for this, packing my face with it. Did some Googling and people actual experienced red burn marks for 2-3 days after said sheet mask (oh, the coming review) even with it on for less than a minute. Left this wonderful Black Sugar mask on for 10min, washed off, no redness or irritation from the evil sheet mask devil - pretty sure it saved my face!5. To Use: I did an oil cleanser, foaming cleanser then this mask. Scrubbed first and then left on for 10-15 minutes. Followed by serum and the other million steps in this routine.6. Long-Term: Don't know if I'll see a major difference simply from this product, but exfoliating once a week is always recommended and this feels better than a lot of major drugstore brands plus the mask feels fantastic, so win-win!Thank you Black Sugar Mask for saving me from my own stupidity and keeping my face less tomato-hued. I will forever be grateful and this will be stocked in my closet for sure!

I purchased this 8mo ago and just finished it tonight and wanted to leave a review after I used it up. I really enjoyed this scrub it smells awesome and leaves my face soft for a day or two and I do notice a glow immediately after. I feel like using it more than once a week was too harsh on my skin and overall it is a nice exfoliator but I didn't see any long term results like an overall skin boost. Perhaps I was not as disciplined in using it once a week and more like every other week and that's why. I recommend using about a nickel size dollop for the entire face (you don't need a thick coat) and leave on for 10-15min but no more than 15 because leaving it on longer does nothing more than if you leave it on for 15...I tried!! I also noticed that it caused me to break out a few times because my skin was too irritated/raw and open to bacteria. I don't have an oil problem so I can't say whether or not it helps with that and while I have dry skin I use a moisturizer so it never dried me out. I decided not to repurchase this for now and to try something new. I would consider purchasing again.

I really wanted a nice scrubby mask that was still gentle. I found my skin type normal with combination T zone; I don’t need a mask like this more than maybe 1-2 a month but I’ll use it because it’s so moisturizing. Love it. Great product

Recommended by my boss for a Korean exfoliating secret to glass skin. I love the scent and the firming feel it leaves on my skin after rinsing. Gentle enough to use daily but powerful enough to get the dead skin that makes my face dull. It truly leaves a refreshed and glowing effect every time. No break outs and no allergic reaction. My skin is very sensitive and I have a condition called dermatographic uticaria so I always find exfoliating products too harsh. But this one is a unicorn and I am so glad I found it!

I wanted to try out a new exfoliator and saw all the positive reviews but… it just wasn’t it for my skin. First of all, it felt way to harsh for the skin on my face and actually left my skin feeling rough and kinda dry even though I didn’t apply any excessive pressure to my skin while using this product. Also my skin began to breakout with cystic acne, which hasn’t happened to me for a good 3 years until I used this product (also consider the fact that I have acne prone and oily skin but I recently found a good regime that had successfully stopped my cystic acne). HOWEVER, because I can’t return it, I decided to use it on my hands and elbows to get some use out of it, and it worked VERY well. So if you’re feeling confident about this product and worst case scenario, it doesn’t work well for your skin, then use it on your body and I’m 99.99% sure you’ll still get some use out of this product AND smooth skin!
