Review: Michael Todd True Organics Charcoal Detox Cleanser

Product Name: Michael Todd True Organics Charcoal Detox Cleanser

( @michaeltoddtrueorganics )

What Michael Todd says about their product: "This unique cleanser utilizes the properties of Activated Charcoal in a base of organic aloe vera to neutralize acidity and absorb impurities while sugar cane and maple provide gentle exfoliation for increased cellular turnover. Amazingly absorbent, Activated Charcoal is widely known for its ability to effectively cleanse the skin, unclog pores and remove deeper impurities and dead skin cells. Beneficial for all skin types, powerful antioxidants and tea tree and other essential oils provide effective anti-aging and blemish healing properties, including treatment of acne, rosacea and eczema. Sulfate free "no tears" formula does not irritate eyes."

I received this trial sized cleanser as part of the Acne and Oily Skin Kit for $33.00. I honestly can’t say that I love this cleanser. It lasted long enough for me to decide that I would not be purchasing it again. First off the pump was horrible. I had to pump it like 15 times just to get a decent amount of product. It’s a gel consistency so only a little runny. It doesn't lather so you don’t get that squeaky clean feeling to your skin. I really don’t feel like it cleaned much at all. I think the only pro I can give it is that it didn't make me break out. So maybe it can work as just a basic daily cleanser. I do not feel that it benefited my skin in any way. After washing my skin it just felt okay. Not dry or oily so I guess it helps remove surface oil from throughout the day/night. It is a high priced item that I think if I can’t find a good drugstore alternative I will invest in. @aprilathena7 swears by it so I think I will get it again just as an everyday cleanser since I like that it didn't break me out or worsen my existing blemishes. It did not help with my acne but it helped with the oil so it did an okay job.

PROS:

-Cleans skin without overdoing it.

-Did not make me break out.

-Did not irritate my blemishes.

-Organic

CONS:

-Smell is strong.

-This specific packaging was horrible.

-Does not help remove makeup or deep cleanse.

-Did not help with clogged pores.

Overall Rating: 6/10

REVIEW: Ole Henriksen Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser

If you want to know more about this product, please read on for the rest of the review and more pictures. If you can't tell by the picture, this is Ole Henriksen's Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser. It is 1/6 of the Oily and Blemish Prone Starter Kit available at Sephora. I have decided to review all of the products separately instead of in 1 post, because that's just what they deserve.

REVIEW: The Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash

So while I was on an intense skincare kick I checked out the body shop for the first time. Their tea tree line did wonders for me and when my skin started to clear up I decided to venture out into their other lines. If you wanna read more about this product, please click the jump for more!

REVIEW: The Body Shop Tea Tree Cleansing Wipes

Here is yet another review on the tea tree line at The Body Shop. If you wanna find out how this product met or didn't meet my standards for clear skin, read on!

Hmmm these wipes are definitely a favorite of mine for when it is just not possible for me to go through my whole night-time skincare routine lol. Another short review though because the product pretty much speaks for itself. I definitely recommend this to those of you who have used the tea tree line with success. I do have to say though that these are definitely not for people with sensitive and dry skin because they are pretty drying. Also I would recommend to use these wipes after you have taken makeup off your face with makeup remover. NEVER try using these on your eyes because it will be a stinging catastrophe! I did it once and it will never happen again.
