Design
I particularly like the Freeman design. The key ingredients are shown on the front of the packaging. It’s bright and eye-catching.
On the backside you can find information in English.
I’ve got three versions of the mask and I would say that a tube isn’t convenient. It smudges and opens tightly.

Smell and texture
When I first opened the packaging I felt such a strong smell I didn’t like! But since some time I got obsessed with it, constantly sniffing this scent 
It’s magic.
The smell is sweet yet harsh. It’s not for everyone.
As you can see in the photo above the mask consists of a dyed sugar. I guess, it’s hard to press such a consistency out of the tube. By the way, if you have some inflammation, don’t you ever apply it to the face or scrub it! Thus the inflammation will spread all over your face.

Direction
Apply mask to face and neck, avoiding contact with eyes. Leave on for 5 to 7 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Use 2 times a week or as often as needed.
I followed the instruction. But there’s a peculiarity in application: it’s not that easy to apply the mask due to its uneven texture.
I feel comfortable using it. Besides, it warms the skin
The product hardly washes off, but it’s not that big of a deal.

Result
Unfortunately, I’ve got no before photo, so you can’t estimate the result to the full extent. But I can say with complete certainty that the pores are less noticeable, the skin is smooth and soft, not over-dry. So the charcoal really works and absorbs the remaining sebum, etc. The sugar removes the dead skin in its turn.
