Clinique Charcoal Face Wash
Detoxifying gel wash delivers a deep-pore clean. Natural charcoal draws out the dirt and excess oil that can clog pores. Soothing, non-drying lather gently foams away impurities. Leaves all skin types feeling fresh, comfortable.
MFH says
This is a product that I always go back to. It removes excess oil without drying out the skin.
Sometimes I use it as a face mask – applying a light layer over my skin and leaving for about 15 minutes before washing off.
If you’re a Clinique For Men fan, try teaming with their Super Engerizer SPF 40.

I believe my distaste for the product is more about my skin type than the product itself. My face does not feel clean or refreshed after washing daily for two months with this product. To be fair, I have tried other charcoal washes before and did not like them; chalking it up to skin type over product but this is a no go for me. In case anyone wants to know to compare; caucasian with roots in Italy/Croatia, my skin has always leaned more towards greasy than dry and tougher than softer.
