I got this Pretty Secret Charcoal Black Detox Mask at SM Beauty Section because it’s cheap. I believe it’s around 59php only. And also, it’s made in Korea and I figured you can’t go wrong with a mask especially if it’s made in Korea. Do I think it’s worth it? Na ah.
Pretty Secret Charcoal Black Detox Mask Pros:
- Affordable.
- Locally Available.
- Contains lots of serum.
Pretty Secret Charcoal Black Detox Mask Cons:
- It smells bad. Really, I think the scent would make anyone turn its back on this product. It smells like chemical! I am not really sensitive with the scent of makeup or skincare products but with this mask, I just can’t stand it!
- I don’t think it does anything on my skin. It is a very wet mask and it contains lots of serum but I don’t see any significant difference with my skin after using this mask.
When I say that the Pretty Secret Charcoal Black Detox Mask contains a lot of serum, I mean a lot. There’s so much that it didn’t even dry out after having it on for twenty minutes. There’s a lot of serum left even after dragging it down on my neck and applying it all over my hands and arms.
Overall, I don’t see myself grabbing for this mask again. I am not a fan of its scent and I don’t really see it do any significant difference on my skin. What doesn’t work for me may work for someone else though, so if you want to try it. Go for it. It’s pretty cheap anyways.
I think I’ve seen this product before. Most charcoal products have a certain smell, a bad one. All the charcoal nose strips I’ve tried had an off scent. I can’t compare the smell of this product since I haven’t tried it. It is a pretty cheap mask so I guess we can’t complain as much, wish they can do something about the smell though.
this product is really interesting.. I have seen those white facial mask already but never seen this charcoal detox mask… I really don’t try cosmetics but this one is quite intriguing!
thanks for an honest review.. i have always been curious about this pretty secret mask.. but seems it is not worth using esp when I dont need much more serum on my oily face… what do you recommend by the way?
The Pretty Secret is not a popular brand so I don’t know if it’s reliable. Thanks for doing a review. At least, I know that I should steer away from it. I don’t mind paying a higher price so long as I see an actual result. Plus, having a nice scent is a plus since putting on a mask is also a form of relaxation. We may as well enjoy the experience while we’re at it.
I’ve used this twice and it was awesome. Kept my skin supple for a week. The best way to use it is before bedtime so you sleep with the serum on.
I’ve never tried this brand but I’ve heard great things about charcoal masks. Thank you for sharing your honest review!

I think I know this brand – but haven’t see this product.
I used a Swisse Manuka and Charcoal mask just recently for my blog since I did a post on Manuka Honey!

Thanks for sharing us with this review on this charcoal mask. So far, my experience with charcoal masks isn’t great… since they make my sensitive skin break out.

Usually Korean skincare is SO good!
Have you tried For Beloved one? Their facemasks are incredible. You can usually find them at Korean super markets

Thanks for your honest opinion. At least it was cheap so you don’t have to regret that you spent money on it. 🙂 Oh no, if a beauty product does not smell good, I would immediately not like the product too. Thank you for sharing! xoxo
