K-Beauty Product Review: Pore Charcoal Mud Sheet Mask by Caolion Lab

Read Time2 Minute, 7 Second

It’s been a minute since I’ve done a beauty review so bare with me here. I recently tried this product (I found it at CVS) and was curious about it.

Even though I’m well-aged and delicious like a fine wine, I still get acne. I have a naturally oily face so breakouts are rather common.

Let’s look at the back of the packaging to take a hard look at the ingredients:

Wayment…Did you catch that?

VOLCANIC ASH?

You know…sometimes you gotta do it for the culture, so YOLO.

Now, the packaging was something interesting:

I’m not sure what I was expecting but this wasn’t it. Nevertheless, I put the volcano on my face:

You see, I keeps it real on this blog. I can show myself looking like a hot-ass mess with unkempt hair for the sake of a product review.

Now, this product took a bit longer than usual to dry.

And of course, the dry pic:

No, I wasn’t pouting but I really couldn’t talk or smile. Bear got a kick out of my face because he thought I looked like a zombie, LOL.

After rinsing it all off and moisturizing my face, here is a non-filtered pic in natural light:

Not too shabby!

Alright, now that we’ve met the player and played the game, how did this product score?

PROS:

Cheap! I think this cost around $8.
Putting the mask on was rather easy, though it looked a bit complicated.
The smell was mild. It didn’t smell like a volcano, LOL.

Of course, with everything good, there is some bad:

CONS:

Okay, let’s get the monkey out of the way – unless you’re a bit skewed about putting something that contains volcanic ash on your face, you probably don’t want this.
I did have a mild breakout a couple days later, but then it disappeared. My skin hasn’t had a breakout since then, so maybe there’s something about that ash.
It took foreverrrrr to dry. It took my face around 40 minutes to completely dry. That’s something to consider if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands. I’m always busy so I just put the mask on and went about my business.

Overall, I do recommend this but buyer beware. Like I’ve mentioned before, I did have a mild breakout but it only lasted for a day before it cleared up on its own.
