Came in a beauty calendar. Cleanses perfectly well but leaves my skin so dry afterwards I have to slather on rich moisturiser and face oil. I guess the charcoal element is a quirky skincare angle but in reality it smells faintly of mould. I prefer a pleasant fragrance or none at all over this smell. Will not finish the pouch and definitely wouldn’t use this again.

This product does have pros and cons, but overall I like it so much that it made me want to write a review. I have combination skin. I purchased this because I thought it could help me reduce the appearance of my enlarged pores and blackheads. After two weeks of use, I already feel a subtle improvement in my skin. My skin became soft, and the appearance of blackheads reduced maybe. The latter is nobody can tell level, though. Then why didn't I wait another two weeks before writing this? Because the product runs out so quickly, probably due to its gel-like texture, not a thick mud texture. Besides, I needed to use more than "a little" to cleanse thoroughly. Other cons are it irritates my skin just a little bit, especially the area around my mouth, and my skin gets dry after rinsing it. I don't have dry or sensitive skin, so there's no problem after rinsing and then moisturizing, but ones with those types of skin type should be careful.

I bought for my boyfriend and noticed an improvement in his skin. Fewer breakouts, more even skin tone, and his skin looks calmer/less angry. Not overly drying, just a good solid cleanser and works well with his skin type (dry overall, but oily and prone to breakouts around the nose). We both also really like the way it smells - earthy and calming, great for cleansing before bedtime. He likes how unfussy it is.

This cleanser dried my skin out a lot. Also didn’t really notice an improvement with respect to breakouts/skin tone. Compared to other FB products (which are 5/5) this one was very disappointing and OVERPRICED!
