Bioré Charcoal Acne Cleanser

The best biore product for acne prone skin. Works wonders P.S. this product can be drying so use with a good moisturizer

Great face wash. Gives a really nice cooling feeling when used. Face feels clean and fresh after use.

I will never buy another face wash again. What in the world?? I had to write a review because this face wash is AMAZING. I always ALWAYS get breakouts on my forehead, not terrible breakouts, but a few pimples and usually one really obnoxiously large one in the middle of my eyebrows that takes forever to go away. Since using this face wash, I have literally had no breakouts. I do wash my face twice a day with this. I noticed if I only washed my face once or not at all the previous day, I will start forming a pimple. I wash my face immediately and the pimple never forms to full blown monstrosity. It just stays small and then goes away the next day. I do use clean and clear advantage acne spot treatment that I feel goes well with it. I used the spot treatment gel before I used biore for years and I never got as amazing results as I do now, so all the hardwork is for sure from this face wash with a little help from the gel spot treatment. I'm amazed by how well this works and my skin has seriously never looked or felt this good. My skin is as soft as when I was a little kid!

I got this because I wanted a cleanser with salicylic acid for my occasional breakouts, but I think it’s a bit too much for my skin. I have pretty sensitive skin and it didn’t bother me, but it was a bit too drying for my skin. It smells nice, it has a cooling tingle when I use it & my skin has a lovely velvety feeling after using it, but next time I will order the other charcoal face wash that’s not so harsh. I currently use it about once a week and that’s enough for this face. I think this would be excellent for someone with oily skin and some acne. I think it would be perfect for that. Or, if you have occasional breakouts and sensitive skin, this would be great for occasional use. Overall, I like it, I think it’s effective, but it’s a bit too strong for what I need. I will definitely try the other Biore charcoal cleanser though.

This is by far my favorite cleanser for zapping breakouts! I’ve noticed some people complain about this cleanser being too strong and causing burning...but I feel like it’s better suited for NON sensitive, oily, acne prone skin like mine. I also suspect that lighter skin individuals tend to be more easily irritated and burned by some skin products. (Not to say that this couldn’t irritate someone with sensitive, darker skin too though ) Yes it does have a tingly sensation, as if you were using a strong peppermint soap. I even leave it on for just a few seconds to really let it work. Leave it for too long and it does begin to burn - but I wash it off before then and have no issues. Just make sure to avoid using any exfoliants or products that would sting at the same time. When I have a breakout it does a great job of clearing up my acne and getting rid of whiteheads. One of my skin care staples for sure 👍🏼

This product has a very mild orange sent. It does a really nice job cleaning my face and has completely cleared up my acne and razor burn. I have crazy sensitive skin and I do get a little redness on a few spots, but it disappears after about 20 minutes. I suspect that what ever has the cooling feel is what does this. The product does not over dry my face and I have used it for nearly a month every 2 or 3 days "when ever I shave". My skin feels smooth, firm and clean. I use this with one of those spinning face brushes so that may contribute to the redness or how well it cleans. The container seems to last a long time. I have used at least 10-15 pumps and the bottle feels like it is still full. When I run out I will buy this again.

I tried this product out when the 'Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser' was out of stock, as I have had luck with Biore produce with my sensitive skin. Sadly, this product dried my skin out while causing ache flareups due to the dryness. I would recommend this if you have oily skin, as it does a great job at just stripping your face of oil. It's a great deal, just not for sensitive/combination/dry skin.

I should have taken before photos but I hated my face so that did not happen. I’m an adult who has the occasional flare up. I have been going the more natural route and trying to maintain healthy skin without any products. That did not work (thanks PMS). I had a really bad breakout with cystic acne and tons of little uggos on my face. Discouraged and grossed out, I got this. Within two days, my skin has begun clearing a LOT. I hope this continues to work because I am so much happier now. I also use benzoyl peroxide spot treatment and moisturizer. Only drawback is this product causes pretty intense dry skin so only use it at max once a day. Worth it though. And it tingles!
