Review: Michael Todd (True Organics) Charcoal Detoxifying Facial Mask

Around October of last year, I received a product for review from Michael Todd (True Organics), which turned out to be a beauty brand famous among Hollywood circles and powerful glossies worldwide. I've been using Michael Todd's Charcoal Detoxifying Facial Mask since then, and 6 months is more than enough time to collate and analyze my findings and lay them out in a review.

Packaging:

The facial mask comes in a 100 ml (3.4 fl oz.) bottle bearing warm lavender tones. The product claims that mineral-rich Charcoal can exfoliate and draw out impurities and toxins and clear the skin of excess oil, dirt, and other pollutants.

Product packaging shows that Michael Todd Charcoal Detoxifying Mask is:

"...formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C for increased penetration and moisturizing. Mild action and the presence of natural soothing agents reduce irritation and inflammation associated with sensitive skin. Removes dead skin, impurities, and toxins, moisturize and firm, improve elasticity and pliability of the skin, unclog pores allowing the skin to breathe, and facilitate movement of skin oils. Turn lackluster-looking skin into healthier younger, looking skin."

High-Points:

• I may have found the mask's smokey, ash-like scent overpowering initially, but I've begun fully embracing it on the second try. 

• I loved the mask's silky feel and how my skin fully absorbed it. In fact, I consider Michael Todd's version two notches higher than the other leave-on masks I've tried before-- in terms of texture, absorption level, and overall effect. 

• When I first applied the facial mask, I expected it to leave an uncomfortable sticky feeling. My fear proved groundless when I felt like I just had a simple facial moisturizer and nothing else.

• The built-in pump dispenser made every use relatively fast and straightforward.

• Compared to Korean Mask Sheets, which left plumper-looking skin, Michael Todd's Charcoal Mask made my skin feel and look remarkably fresh, clean, and hydrated.

•  Even if I put the mask on for an hour, an hour, and a half - even if the recommended time is only 15 minutes - I've NEVER experienced any form of skin irritation. 

Low-Point: 

• I couldn't think of anything I don't particularly like about the mask except the shipping time. In my case, I acquired the product from the nearest postal office in our area sometime between 2 and 3 weeks from when it was dispatched from the US to the Philippines.

My Verdict:

Great! Highly recommended.

1. Apply an even layer over the face and neck after cleansing. Avoid eye area.
