Good drugstore cleanser

Biore is definitely a trusted brand to me. this is a great drugstore brand, and i find the cleanser works well. it does dry my skin out a little too much though!

Not for me!

I picked up the trial size from Shoppers Drugmart for around $3 to give it a try.

Packaging: it’s cute and it did draw me in.

Scent - Far too strong for me, it’s a mentholated fragrance and I felt that was more to support the “charcoal” claim and make it more effective.

Product Appearance: It’s grey/black in colour with some grainy texture type beads or dots and kind of gel like; but to be honest I feel like this is a jump on the charcoal bandwagon trend.

Efficacy: It cleans my face but the menthol is so strong (and I do NOT have sensitive skin and look for powerful products) and definitely not fun if you get it in your eyes by accident!

It’s intended for oily skin (and oil-free) admittedly I have dry skin (I didn’t see the small print about oily skin when I bought it online lol) but even then, the overpowering scent and too strong feeling on my face/when water washed some over my face into my eyes in the shower had them stinging and overrode any benefit for me.

Overall: I would not buy this again and don’t recommend it (I think there are much better products out there)

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser Review

My tip choice for drugstore level facial cleansers. While it is not the best one I have ever used, it is definitely good enough that I will buy again when needed. The menthol in this leaves my skin feeling tingly fresh after cleansing. Does not leave my skin feeling irritated, greasy or dried out.

Wasn't a fan

I did not enjoy this! I have dry combo skin, and this made it more clogged and congested. It didn't feel like it did anything for my skin except feel heavy.

Don't buy this!!

This made my combination skin break out! Now I have small pimples crowding my face😭Do your skin and your bank account a favor and and do not purchase this horrible cleanser.

Mediocore

This is a nice face mist. Smells lovely. I purchased before boarding a flight for sone mid flight hydration and it worked fine. Its not my favourite mist and a little on the less pricier side, but it does the job.

Great facial wash

I would use this cleanser for days when my skin was very oily and dirty and it worked like a charm. My skin didn’t feel dry, it felt clean and fresh. The charcoal is supposed to absorb the oil and deep clean the skin overall and it totally did that for me. I have no complaints!

Didn't enjoy this...

I have sensitive combination skin so that might be the reason I didn't love this face wash. It made my skin really dry and flaky, like it was sucking all the moisture out, and caused redness. Will not be repurchasing in the future.

Not a fan

I tried this several times. I have sensitive skin and oily too. My skin felt clean after but got really red and burned as well as made my face red each time. Days after each use I’d get a break out. I’d recommend it to people who don’t have acne

Great for My Oily Skin

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser is the only cleanser that made a difference for my oily skin.

It does not dry out my very fair, very sensitive skin, and my skin is far less oily with very very few break outs.

No breaks outs in fact, just a small zit here and there.
