L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash Review

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.

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.

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.

L'Oreal Pure Clay Clay-to-Mousse Cleansers come in three varieties: Charcoal (to detox and brighten), Red Algae (to exfoliate and refine), and Eucalyptus (to purify and mattify). As I have oily skin, and don't like menthol or eucalyptus in my facial products, I chose to get a tube of charcoal.

Now, I wouldn't really describe this product as clay-to-mousse, as the black face wash inside the mint green 130ml flip top plastic tube is definitely a gel and not a thick or medium clay consistency. When mixed with a little water, it converts into a foam and not a mousse, so I'd describe this cleanser as gel-to-foam and not clay-to-mousse.

Each of L'Oreal's Clay Cleansers contain three difference pure clays to remove dirt, oil and impurities, without over-drying the skin. Kaolin clay is an effective natural clay that is known to absorb impurities and excess sebum (oil), Montmorillonite clay is rich in minerals and is recognized for helping to eliminate imperfections, Ghassoul is a pure clay that's highly concentrated in minerals and is renowned for clarifying the complexion, and Charcoal acts like a magnet to attract and draw out impurities from pores.

The charcoal cleanser foams up really well when mixed with a little water, and a little goes a long way with this product. I find it works best for me if I wet my hands, then put a very small about of the gel onto my palm, then rub my hands together to create a nice frothy light grey lather, before applying it to my face. This cleanser definitely does remove any make-up residue, and leaves my skin feeling deeply cleansed without any dry or tight feeling.

I'll definitely be purchasing more of this, and I'm keen to try the exfoliating and refining Red Algae Clay Cleanser as well.

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$$
