I am back!! This is my first actual blog post in months! I am happy to be telling you guys about a new cleanser that I have been using for the past week. I purchased this cleanser at Walgreen's. When I saw this cleanser I was immediately drawn in by the fact that it claims to have charcoal in it. This is seen in high end skincare but rarely in the drugstore. Popular high end products known for containing charcoal include, Boscia Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel, Lush Dark Angels Facial Cleanser and the most famous one of all, drumroll please.... the Glam Glow Super Mud Clearing Treatment (I want this so bad but $70 for a mask is a bit steep for me). Being an oily-skinned girl I defiantly had to try this out. For those of you who don't know, charcoal is great for oily skin; it sucks up oil and brings many impurities to the surface of your skin. This cleanser claims to dissolve pore clogging dirt, excess oil and makeup. It is oil free, dermatologist tested and ophthalmologist tested. Charcoal powder is the fifth ingredient so don't expect this to be black. It is actually a very sheer grey. I use this in the morning rather than at night because personally I would rather have matte skin throughout the day. I use this with my little rubber scrublet. You only need a pea sized amount for your face and it lathers up nicely. I love the sent of this, think mentholy, like if you were at the spa. One thing that does bother me about this cleanser is how liquidy it is. The thin consistency makes it tricky to get the amount of product you need and can be a bit messy. I do notice my skin looking matte after I rinse this off, but it does not keep it matte throughout the day (I wasn't really expecting it to). I personally have quite large pores especially on my nose. This didn't de-clog them, but again I was not expecting it to. Overall I am pleased with this cleaner and think it is a great drugstore choice! It retails for $7.99 is is pretty accessible.
Truly Yours, Taylor
