Strong deep cleanser
I had previously tried a charcoal face wash cream from Japan and liked it a lot, and feel like the Clinique version is even better. The Japanese one was almost too harsh, while this one is strong without being overpowering. It gives you a very deep clean , while leaving your skin smooth. I also like the neutral scent. It is an excellent value, because you need to use very little to build up a nice lather. It is a mild exfoliant (the wash is completely smooth, no beads or texture from the charcoal).

Amazing Skin
This has done wonders on my husbands face!! He suffered from major acne. Within a month we noticed a difference and now his skin is clear and gorgeous. We are a Clinique family. Both my son and daughter uses your products and we will always use them. Nordstrom makes it so easy to order too.

Gentle cleanser
This charcoal wash is amazing! I have eczema (atopic dermatitis) and very sensitive skin, so someone suggested I try this charcoal face wash. I love it! I thought it would be weird to use this as a woman, but if it works, I'll take it! I'm waiting until my initial reaction goes away (I get a rash until my skin is used to what I'm using, so annoying), but for now, it's pretty good. It doesn't burn my skin like other gel washes do, my skin feels smooth after, and I don't have as many dry patches. I'm crossing my fingers that it will continue to work.

Feels So Great!
I absolutely love this face wash! It doesn't have an overwhelming scent to it. It foams but not excessively. It leaves my skin feeling so clean and refreshed, without leaving behind an unpleasant soapy feeling or drying out my skin. I first tried this as a sample size and one it was nearly gone, ordered a full size. Also, a little goes a long way. A small pea-sized amount is more than enough for a good face cleansing. This stuff lasts, it's worth the price!
