Such a clean feeling!
I've been trying to find a lush cleanser that gets rid of my heavy foundation, and this one does the trick! I do have to use a face cloth to get it all off, but my face feels so refreshed and clean after I wash it!
Too rough for your face
I was recommended this product for my oily/acne prone skin at LUSH, and had had some luck with other activated charcoal products, so I gave it a try. It was very abrasive on the first try, and as time went on, I did not notice much of a difference in my oiliness. I may still use this as a body exfoliant, but it is just far too harsh for the face.
I purchase the coal face facial cleanser to relieve my face from oil in the T-Zone area of my face. It did help with the oil while slightly drying out the rest of my face. It did leave my face feeling clean but I ended up breaking out all over my chin. I will finish the product but I wouldn't purchase again.
It smells like black licorice so if you don't like that smell then this may not be for you. It melts in your hand which turns it black but easy to wash off. You can feel it working when you put it on your face. I like to rub it all over my face to feel the product taking off the dead skin then use my hands to finish washing my face. I only use it once a week so it lasts longer.
I like the coalface cleanser, I like the natural earthy smell and find it truly cleans and exfoliates my face. Sometimes it takes 2 washes to get the film off my skin but it is worth it.
I love this product! everyone can use it differently depending on the sensitivity of their skin, as i have sensitive oily skin, i rub the wet product between my hands and then rub the lather on my face. i love the exfoliating coal in this product!! Another way i use this, is if my hair has been especially oily, after i shampoo my hair and before i condition (just the ends) i like to rub a little of the lather of this product right on the crown of my hair and it makes a huge difference! i dont find the price too bad, as the product lasts quite a long time for me!
this thing is amazing! the look of it at first may have some ppl questioning what on earth its for and the effectiveness of it, but its the only cleanser i have ever used that really balances out my combo skin. the smell is tolerable (i barely notice it) and make sure to apply toner & lotion (the best would be LUSH's tea tree toner & Enzymion) cause it works superb as a trio : )
