My favorite cleaner but please read!
So as I stated in the description this is my absolute favorite cleaner to keep pores clean and breakout free. I have been using this for a couple of months now. (I have bought from a local drugstore and not on amazon) however there are some things I need to explain.
The main active ingredient (what makes it clean so well) is charcoal. Now I personally love just about any cleaner I've used that includes charcoal but there are a few things you should keep in mind if you've never used a charcoal based cleanser.
1. Charcoal does deep clean and can cause a tingling/ irritation on your skin so if you have extremely sensitive skin please try a small area first before covering your entire face.
2. I ALWAYS use a moisturizer after using this as it can make your skin somewhat dry due to cleaning out all of the oil and gunk from your pores.
3. Breakouts the first couple of times you use this is not necessarily a bad thing since your skin has to purge (get rid of all of the gunk that has built up under your skin surface for longer than you probably realize), if this persists I would definately consider changing up something but some pimples or breakouts are not necessarily bad just give it a chance.
4. I only use this cleaner at most 3 times a week to avoid over drying but use moisturizer every night.
I do believe I covered everything I was wanting to. If you have breakouts on your body I have used it for that also. If I could I would use this everyday because I love how glowing and clean my face looks after using it. Everyone's skin is different so even though I can't use daily you may notice you can just please note the things I addressed above.
