Hey guys! I promised on my facebook page that I will be posting a review tonight so here you go :) I got this sugar mask earlier this year because I really wanted to try this aside of the rice mask wash-off which I never reviewed here. I love the rice mask wash-off version so I think I would like to try this black sugar mask because there are so many good reviews about it.
Flash on.
So here is how my face looks like in the middle of applying and after applying. I don't have the 'before' picture because I forgot to capture my skin before using the mask o.o
I'm so sorry >_<
But just to tell you that I have some whiteheads and blackhead at the open pores you could see above for the 'before' picture.
The first thing that I would like to say about this wash-off mask is that I dislike the smell. True that there is a lemon-y smell to it but there are also a 'gamat oil'-like smell mix with the lemon according to me..lol
I don't know why people love the smell but I simply hate it just because I had to put it on face and have to bear with the smell for a few minutes. That's totally a no-no for me.
That's aside, the performance of this wash-off mask is quite good. The sugar bits are a bit large I guess and that's why my leftover acne/pimples looks redder than usual. The mask works well removing my blackheads and whiteheads as you can see on the open pores above. The picture was taken right after I wash off the mask from my face.
One thing that I notice, the mask have a warm feels to it as some says that it provides self-heating. I guess it is to open the open the pores and clean all the dirt in it.
To look back at the name, I'm not sure why it is named as mask? Do I have to leave it for a few minutes after rubbing it or just let it stay on my face? The answer is you need to rub it for a few minutes and wash it off. I don't think 'mask' applies anything related to it as I won't leave it that long on my face because of the smell...haha but I'm okay with leaving the rice mask wash off on my face as it smell so good!
Overall, personally I think this is not bad in terms of cleaning away whitehead and blackhead and maybe it is just me who had problems with the smell as I read on other bloggers review, everyone do love it except for me. XD
Anyway, thank you for reading this short review!
I had an extra Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash-off to be sell as the seller I bought with sent me the wrong order :(

Hello! I love the Rice Mask from Skinfood too! But I think this mask seems really good in removing white and black heads, although I can't imagine the smell.. the way you describe makes it smell bad enough for me already! xP

I was thinking about getting this but i think i'll pass... i just hate lemony scents but infortunately it's very popular in korean cosmetics :( I don't understand why skinfood name those products as masks, for me that's a scrub :O
I actually have this mask and like it, even the smell. It does well for exfoliation. I would offer to take the extra off your hands but too bad, I live in the U.S. Thank you for the review though.
haha..i don't mean to describe the smell is that bad..haha...it just me who maybe had a bad nose day probably? lol
you should try this kind of mask!if you do, i recommend you the rice mask ver! that one smells heavenly.. *_*
too bad that this do have lemon scents to it..n i agree, this is one of the most popular korean mask...
good for you..i try thos for several times but still did not like the smell :(
Haha I would go to the skinfood shop to try this out though, cos I have problems with blackheads and whiteheads. they are just soooo stubborn!
I have the cleansing foam of this, and first I didn't like the scent either, because I'm more for the sweet or floral scents, but since it's only a cleanser I wash it of and it doesn't stay on my face too long. That makes the scent less important in the and. Using a bit warm water helped to melt down the sugar particles, so they 'hurt' less.
I'd definitely give that a try. :)

oh, that's a helpful tips! thank you! :D
Good luck! But I rather suggest you the rice mask because the scrub bits is smaller than this black sugar..
i was also wondering why is it named as a mask too lol it should be a scrub, i like this product because of the self-heating but its sorta harsh on the skin and messy to use. Nice Review dear ;)
haha..that's true..it's not even a mask, it's more to scrub.Agreed, the sugar bits is pretty huge in size so that's why it's a bit harsher.
Thank you for stopping by :)
Oh sweetie this mask looks interesting. I never tried before but I have a sample.
Thanks for your honest review!
xx
Thank you so much :) Would like to know what is your opinion about them :D
o, will avoid this. Too harsh for my skin
I guess it is too harsh for most skin becoz of the large sugar bits
You have a really cute design of blog and nice review!
