L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash Review

So I've seen a lot of charcoal products over the last few years, I've used body scrubs and tooth whiteners containing charcoal but never skin care.

This face wash comes in a good side tube, its lovely packaging that doesn't skew too young or too old.

It applies easily, spreads well and rinses without drama. Immediately after use my skin felt super smooth, and this continued for the next few days. On day four I woke up and my skin felt quite dry so I scaled back to using once a day in the evening and following with my usual oil and moisturiser. My skin hasn't been dry since.

My t-zone is prone to blackheads and definitely looks clearer, it's also less oily which is great.

Overall I think this is a lovely cleanser, and I'll definitely finish it - using once daily its going to last ages which makes the price tag very reasonable!

This wash comes in a 150ml tube. It sits on its flip open lid which is easy to use in the shower and keeps the product ready to use.

The product is black/charcoal in colour and has a pleasent fragrance to it. It contains 3 pure clays and charcoal.

The instructions tell you to apply to a damp face and massage into your skin. This is a slightly runny consistancy but still easy to manage either in the shower or over the basin.

I found it rinsed off easily with warm water and it left my skin feeling like it had had a really deep cleansing treatment. My skin usually feels like this when I have been to a clinic and had a facial.

I used this every day and the results are second to none. I have repurchased this as I love the results so much.

I've been using this gel wash for months and I am entirely unsure as to whether it has made any real difference. It has definitely been economical as the tube has lasted months. It comes in a super sleek sage green tube and the consistency is akin to liquid soap and is black. I have adult acne, my hormones are crazy, so it is difficult to ascertain if this wash has helped or not. Clay and charcoal are very fashionable in skincare presently. I feel tighter and less oily after using this but I can't tell whether it has any lasting effect as I have the aforementioned acne troubles. I would buy again as I have faith in the product.

Great cleanser, I use it in the shower and follow with the related mask. Texture of the product is soft and didn't foam. Feels like it does a really good job of cleaning and my skin feels fresh afterwards. Would use it again.

The pretty green tube contains an almost black pearly gel similar to shower gel I was surprised that the smell wasn’t more earthy it was pretty smelling which I liked.

I put it on my face because it has clay I tend to find it hard to get my head round it being a wash not a mask I kind of expected it to set.

It doesn’t foam up when applying it maybe I need more water with it as I find when I use a wet cloth to remove it I seem to foam it up a lot more and making more of a mess and it does sting if it ends up in your eyes.

It hasn’t made much noticeable difference to my skin but it smells and feels nice after use.

I received this in a BBE box and I was quite surprised by it. The tube is user friendly which is a win win with me. It has a flip top lid which is sits flat on when not in use. The green colour close to mint is something that you can identify easily on the shelves at the supermarket because there isn't another brand or product that I know of that has the same or similar in colour. The size is good too. The product inside is a black shade(total game changer there) and comes out like a toothpaste consistency it has a somewhat fresh scent but that is a strong to the nose scent which got me a tad concerned in fair of reaction. A little goes a long way so remember that.. When applying it working it into my skin with wet hands it does foam a tad and washes off easily with water but a face cloth can be helpful to get it of aswell. The after effect is clean tight skin. However I found after a few consecutive days of use I did break out. There could be a few reasons why this occurred. One being a new product. Two the scent could be irritated my skin. Three foaming action was too much for my oily combo skin type. Four and final could have had nothing to do with the product and I just broke out. What I've done now is use it alternatively with my normal cleanser 1 a week or fortnight as a deep cleanser helping to remove makeup buildup and it works just fine that way. Enjoy

Another great product, leaves my face feeling awake and refreshed as well as super clean and smooth. Great sized easy to use tube that will last.

I received this product in two BBBE boxes. I was definitely very keen to try this and expectations were high as it's had plenty of great reviews!

I have this cleanser in the shower - only a small amount of cleanser is needed, and some water, and you'll get a soapy consistency to apply to your skin. It rinses off really well and you immediately feel like your skin is refreshed and very clean (detoxed even!).

When applying it you certainly feel like it's working it's cleansing magic. After use my skin is bright and very clean afterwards.

There is a major BUT with this product for me, however - I find the strong chemical based scent to the cleanser really off putting. It's not a smell I've got used to as I continue to use the product. It's a really strong fume rather than a pleasant scent.

I also found the cleanser a little too thorough for my skin type, and felt it had stripped any oils from my skin, so my skin felt dry and tight afterwards. It's definitely too thorough for daily use with my skin. It is easily resolved with a serum and moisturiser afterwards - but my skin felt much better using it every other day.

I'll finish the tube, but unlikely to repurchase this one as it's just not suited to me & my skin type I suspect.

I first purchased this in a hurry, worried I’d brought yet another creamy cleanser that my face doesn’t like. I was quite pleasantly surprised.

I like L’Oréal products, as most of them work well with my skin (combination oily) and this caught my eye with clay as an ingredient (Having had success with clay products before). My main problem with other cleansers is that they are too creamy, and in my oily skin, leave too much moisture, blocking my powers, or they are too light and I need to wash my face at least twice to strip oil residue and excess makeup. L’Oréal’s Pure Clay Detox Wash seems to strike a perfect balance for my skin, leaving it squeaky clean, no residue, but not stripping my skin of the oils it needs to retain.

The tube size is just right, doesn’t take up too much space on the shelf in the shower, but doesn’t get lost in between the larger hair product bottles. Also a handy size for a toiletry bag when I’m travelling, not too big. I do like that it has a flip cap, removable caps in the shower can just be a pain in the a$$

I had heard great things about this product so was keen to try it.

It comes in a standard looking tube, very generous size though so lasts for ages. Packaging is basic looking, nothing out there.

Formula is weird - it's like washing your face with a mud mask but lathers up as a usual cleanser would.

When washing my face, it feels smooth and your skin comes out feeling squeaky clean. Unfortunately that is not good for me as I have dry skin. I felt it stripped any moisture I had left (which is not a heck of a lot) and my face felt really dry and tight.

I'm not sure if this is more for oily skin as it's not a product I ordinarily would have purchased for myself (it was in one of the BRBB so I didn't actually go looking for it).

I have since given it to my teenage boys to use and they seem to like it.
