Review (4/5): An effective cleanser but awkward applicator
This product certainly looks high-end with its black and gold packaging, the twist cap that turns through 180 degrees for on/off, and the raised ‘fingers’ for scrubbing your face, but that part doesn’t work too well.
The surface area of the head is too small, and the little bumps that are supposed to scrub can’t really be felt. Also, the dispensing hole is small, so it takes some effort to squeeze any product out. I found it much easier to put some on my hands and then massage directly onto my face - you’d be there all morning if you tried the applicator.
Other than that, the charcoal cleanser itself is high quality - it’s made in the USA (Seattle), the results feel as good as a scrub even though it’s not abrasive like a scrub, I'm told it does remove make-up properly, and it smells OK - not a strong scent, and I think it smells a bit like playdoh. Overall, I like it and will continue to use, but the brush system may need some rethinking.
