Mask Review: Freeman Detoxifying charcoal + black sugar Mud Mask

'Ello folksickles. Today's review will be for the Freeman Detoxifying charcoal + black sugar Mud Mask.

Availability:  This retails anywhere from $2 for the sample packet I have in the photographs above - 0.5 fl. oz. (15 mL) to anywhere from $5 - $8 for the full sized tube - 6 fl. oz.

Would I buy this again? Possibly.

What is this product? What is it supposed to do?
According to freemanbeauty.com:
Introducing Detoxifying Charcoal & Black Sugar Mud Facial Mask Sachet. This velvety, jet-black mud mask works like magic to moisturize, remineralize, and make skin sensationally soft! Skin-loving minerals collected from the Dead Sea have a natural nourishing effect that boosts smoothness and overall skin health. Activated Charcoal locks onto oils and toxins, then gently lifts them away without over-drying or disturbing skin. Black Sugar helps skin hold on to hydration, which helps smooth out roughness and fine lines. Perfect for normal to combination skin.

Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Bentonite and Kaolin Clay: Help treat breakouts and regulate sebum production. Absorbs excess sebum.
Glycerin: Helps attract moisture to the skin.
Activated Charcoal: Cleanses sebum and dirt off skin without being irritating or stripping the skin.
Banana Extract: Has hydrating qualities.
Coconut Extract: Has hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties.
Aleurites Moluccanus Seed Extract: Has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.
Ginger Root Extract: Has anti-oxidant and brightening properties.
Psidium Guajava Fruit Extract and Kelp Extract: Have anti-oxidant properties.
Papaya Extract: Has anti-oxidant and exfoliating properties.
Raspberry Extract and Nasturtium Officinale Extract: Have anti-inflammatory properties.
Sandalwood Extract: Has hydrating properties.
Maranta Arundinacea Extract: Has exfoliating and brightening properties.

What is the texture like?
I would describe this as a "soft" clay mask; meaning that it doesn't excessively dry out the skin as it dries - this does make the skin feel a tiny bit tight as it dries but it's not uncomfortably dry. 

Is this scented?
This has an herbaceous, tea-like scent to it.

What has my experience with the product been like?
So, as I stated above I really appreciate that this mask doesn't cause my skin to dry out and become tight as it dries on my skin. My skin feels super smooth and silky when I wash this off. I feel like, while nothing really gets rid of my sebaceous filaments - and I don't think anything will 100%, it makes them seem a lot less prominent. 

Please let me know if you have any comments or questions.

DisclaimerI received this as a birthday gift.
