first off, let me start by saying that this stuff has saved my skin! you really do notice cleaner pores after just using it once & it smells amazingggg!
for the most part i have really clear skin, but around my nose & sometimes near my brow area i tend to get a couple black heads. for a while i was just using

philosophy's // purity made simple one-step facial cleanser // $23usd
after first wiping off my makeup with a face towelette, but i still felt i needed something with a little more oomph. i've heard so many great things about charcoal that i decided to pick up this little guy & give it a try.
biore // deep pore charcoal cleanser // $7usd
it claims to draw out and trap 2x more dirt than any regular cleanser, all while still being gentle enough to use everyday. when you first pump some out it looks like a bluish-grey jelly, with tiny pieces of charcoal throughout. as you start to rub it into your face it starts to foam and then it turns white. then after you've worked it in, you start to feel a cool tingling sensation. at first this creeped me out because i didn't see it mention that there was any menthol in it, but it is listed in the ingredients. because of this, i did notice my skin felt a little tighter than usual. boy was it clean! sure enough, the visible dirt had been drawn out of my problem areas.

overall, i would recommend this cleanser to help draw out those stubborn impurities. it's affordable, smells great, does its job & it doesn't have any salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide which can sometimes be harsh on sensitive skin.
one quick question:
have you tried other charcoal based masks/cleansers? if so, which ones are your favorites?
