L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Purity Wash Review

I was super excited when I was picked to trial this as I have a very oily t-zone and get the occasional breakout as well. So thank you very much BR for this amazing opportunity once again! Anyway, this face wash can be found at Farmers, The Warehouse, and supermarkets nationwide for $14.99. It comes in a squeezy tube with 150ml of product which I think is very decent for the price as you only need a tiny pea sized amount per use.

The product itself is a light green shade, it looks quite similar to the mud mask that is also part of the same range. It has quite a thick consistency, almost that of a mud mask and I'm sure in a pinch it could probably double as one too. It smells very nice, like eucalyptus and almost tea. I found it cleansed my skin well and left it feeling soft and clean, but not too dry - this is very important for me as I tend to get small dry patches and they only worsen when I put makeup over them as it clings. This prevented that from happening, while still cleansing my skin well. However I didn't notice it reducing my breakouts, I still got the occasional few pimples and it also had no noticeable effect on blackheads.

Overall, I would recommend this mask to those who have oily skin and are looking for a good face wash to use daily. It cleansed my skin well, but didn't dry it out. If you like the smell of eucalyptus you will love this, however it doesn't have any tingle to it. The tube comes with a decent amount of product which will definitely last me a long time (with daily use even) and isn't too expensive to repurchase. I do have other favorites but would definitely consider repurchasing this when I run out of it.

I have really enjoyed using this face wash because it is so refreshing. My skin looks bright and glowing once I am finished. The cream it's self is quiet thick and while creamy it does have a gel like consistancy and you can really smell the Eucalyptus in the formula. It foams very lightly so don't expect lots of bubbles. As you can't use this on your eye area you will need to use a make-up remover first and then relax at the end of your night with this face wash, that feels just like a bit of luxuary. I really like the packaging in mint green which has a see through section which you can see the cream inside the tube which is the same mint green. It looks pretty standing on my bathroom counter.

The only downside is that I can't say I have seen a significant change in my skins oilyness. I wear make-up everyday for work and I still notice that shine in my T zone, but I am hopeful this will reduce over time, however I would continue using this for the way my skin feels and looks after each wash.

I was super excited to receive this trial, The pure clay wash claims to provide a deeper cleanse to detoxify the skin and reduce oil/shine.

it's marketed as a gel-type cleanser, however I would say it is more of a thick body wash consistency. it is quite dense and the colour is what you can see in the peep area on the bottle ( a soft green) the bottle is a decent size at 150ml and would last a decent 4-6 weeks even if used daily making it value for money! I used it all over my face 4 times in a week and it hasn't put a dent in the tube yet! you could also only use this in certain areas if you were looking to target problem areas such as oily nose or tighten cheek pores. the scent is a strong eucalyptus scent but isn't overpowering and doesn't tingle/sting the skin when applied, however I did find it hasn't reduced the oil/sebum on my nose, so I will continue to use for a longer period of time and edit my review to update about this. my pores do seem smaller, however I will update on this issue. I did feel that my skin felt a bit dehydrated after using this product so I would recommend using a night moisturizer if you felt the same.

overall, I really like the easy to use design of the bottle and the back that it fitted into my travel bag with ease. would regularly as a cleanser/toner.

There are many things I liked about this product.

Firstly the packaging - the tube is generous in size, labeling is clear, and the flip lid is easy to use. The product itself is thick and easy to apply, instructions are clear. Washes off easily when ready. I like the soft eucalyptus scent. I felt my skin was cleansed & ready for my next steps.

For $14.99 at Farmers, I think this is good value for money. In terms of reducing oil, I think it cleared it away for a while, but I definitely noticed an oily t-zone yesterday afternoon. I have been using it every evening for a week.

This creamy wash has a lovely eucalyptus smell and comes in an attractive tube which makes application simple. Once you've dampened your skin, you massage it in a circular motion and then rinse off.

It was easy to use and you don't need a lot for it to work it's magic! I have oily skin, especially around my nose and found that it helped reduce the excess oil on my face and left it feeling clean and soft. It didn't dry my skin out like others which was a bonus! This is a now part of my skin care regime as it's quick and easy to use and extremely effective. I would definitely recommend for those with oily skin.

When I received the package I automatically started to panic a little bit when I realised I was also going to do the trial for the face wash. I actually don't have a great history with face washes and tend to end up going back to micellar water because it just doesn't dry my parched cheeks out.

I took a deep breath regardless and popped it into my shower the day I received it ready for use the next day. I noticed as I went to pop it in that it says soap free so automatically I thought "this might be it!"

The scent: It smells lovely and fresh. Looks like it'll be minty with its green colour but no just a nice fresh scent.

It is very creamy but it doesn't foam which is fine. It has a gel clay texture and actually reminded me a lot of the Pixi gycolic clay wash which I LOVE for the summer months but don't currently have.

I smoothed it over my face and gave it a good massage before washing it off with very lukewarm shower water before I jumped out.

My skin felt very smooth and not tight which is usually what happens when I use a face wash. My serums and moisterisers went over very well and my skin didn't get as oily through the t zone.

I've used it again for the past 4 days and haven't had any further drying. I give this one a big thumbs up if you have combo skin like mine!

It has a nice creamy consistency and I like the clean eucalyptus scent. I don't find it too strong and it does dissipate eventually.

The cleanser is low foaming which I think is gentler and doesn't leave my face feeling tight and dry after use. I feel like my face does stay matte for longer.
