Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off
Today, I will be reviewing a skincare product from a popular Korean brand, Skinfood. I've tried several products from them but this is my first time to try their wash off mask. I read so many good reviews about it and decided to purchase one for myself. Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off is an exfoliating scrub and mask that gently sloughs off dead skin cells, dirt, and oils with its main ingredient, organic black sugar.
Product Details
Black Sugar Mask Wash Off, according to Skinfood's official website, is their most popular product and I wouldn't wonder why. Black sugar is rich in vitamins and minerals and restores nutrients and moisture to the skin.
Ingredients
Sucrose, Peg-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Glycerin, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Lanolin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Laurate, Bht, Butylparaben, Fragrance, Caramel
How To Use
After cleansing, massage gently into damp skin, or mix with water/cosmetic water and apply. Avoid skin around the eyes and lips. After 10-15 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water. Recommended to use it once or twice a week.

$10 per 100g tub Skinfood Website

(It is kind of challenging to purchase this product though because it is almost always sold out.)
The Packaging
The mask comes in a white plastic tub with English and Korean product descriptions. It has an additional protective lid covering with embossed logo of the brand. The downside with the packaging is that the product doesn't come with a spatula but I do recommend to use one for hygiene reasons.
Texture and Fragrance
Since the mask's primary ingredient is black sugar, you will definitely feel the grains when you massage it on your skin so it is important to put on this product on a damp face or mix it with an alcohol-free toner. Also keep in mind to gently massage it onto your face to avoid abrasion on your skin. The sugar granules will melt while you wait for 10-15 minutes, which will leave your skin hydrated because it draws the moisture onto the skin. While I prefer unscented skincare products, I do not mind the sweet and citrusy smell of this mask. It smells fresh and clean without giving an overwhelming scent.
Overall Experience
I have been using Skinfood Black Sugar Mask Wash Off for a little over a month now and I got to say that it made a significant improvement on my dry skin. On my first use, it made my skin feel smooth and supple as a baby. I cannot stop myself from touching my face. Yes, the hype is real! Unlike other masks, it does not leave your skin feel tight and squeaky instead, it made my skin moisturized and smooth to touch. I used to have dry patches around my nose but since the mask acts as an exfoliator too, it removed the dry patches which is another plus point for me. I also noticed that it has a brightening effect that gives the appearance of a healthy glow.
Because this is an exfoliator, my main concern is the primary exfoliating agent and I am quite pleased that they use real organic black sugar grains. I avoid scrubs containing microbeads because these tiny plastic particles could end up in the sea and harm the marine creatures.
I have tried a lot of masks in the past but this one tops on my favorite list. I did not experience any break-outs and I noticed that my pores stay clear from blackheads and whiteheads longer than before.
