What does the product description say?
The Vichy Clarifying Charcoal Mask provides clear, clean skin and removes impurities such as pollution and dirt.
Source: SkincareRX
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl alcohol, cetearyl glucoside, glyceryl stearate citrate, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearyl alcohol, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
