Charcoal - Face Wash

Boyfriend Loved this Product!!!

I got this for my boyfriend as a gift because 1: he has oily skin & 2: he works hands on so he sweats a lot which causes him to have a lot of dirt on his face. The first use my boyfriend said he saw a difference and ever since then, he cannot stop using it! I definitely recommend this to those who work hands on a lot.

Why Is My Skincare Gendered

Cleans my skin without drying it, which is surprising since it lathers and foams. I hope it's not discontinued since Clinique has a habit of doing that. I switched to using this after they nixed the Clinique City Block Charcoal Cleansing Gel. It's the exact same formulation but "for men." Pleasantly fragrance free.

Introduce To Your Man

My boyfriend did not know the power of a quality face cleaner until I introduced him to clinique. Now my boyfriend freely walks in Sephora to buy his refills and has also decided to buy the clinique eye cream too. He loves these product! This charcoal one is his fav.

City Block/ Charcoal Face Wash

So, ever since I've been running out of the City Block Charcoal Cleansing Gel, which I've been using for almost a year and half; and I couldn't find it anywhere in stores. It seems clinique has changed/repackaged? a few things recently, a few which where things I used. I kept looking until I went to a clinique specific boutique at The Bay and they told me that THIS charcoal face wash IS the previously known city block I was looking for, just repackaged. I read the ingredients, they're exactly the same. The Butylene Glycol is like 2 ingredients down where it was..but I think the effect is miniscule. Every other ingredient is there, exactly in the same order. I just wanted to put it out there, if anyone will read this :)

Impressed

I have really oily skin and this soap draws that out very well. Better than any face wash I've ever tried. Definitely recommend.

Love this face wash! Disclaimer, I am not a man, but I use this happily anyway. My husband and I share it! It's not at all drying but leaves my skin really clean.

will buy again

Love this! I bought this for my husband but I've totally stolen it. It is gentle and leaves my face super clean but without the dryness I usually get. It's also helped keep my pores clear - they're nearly invisible now.

Works like magic!

Even though I bought the product for my brother I decided to try it and it works wonders! Took off all the black heads I had and made my skin look clear.

my husband and i both love it

I got this cleanser for both my husband and myself. we both noticed some purging in the first month. I have dry acne prone skin and this helped to remove some of the congestion on my nose and chin without being too drying. my husband skin is clearer and his pores look smaller. this is our go-to wash each morning.

Great for acne

Bought this for my 18 year old son, seems to be doing the trick with his teenage acne. Now if I could only get him to moisturize.

Nothing Special

This face wash is nothing special. My husband has combo/dry skin and it broke him out. I have combo/oily skin and it broke me out. There is nothing unique about this face wash and it seems comparable to most drug store face washes. This is just another product capitalizing on the charcoal craze. Save your money.

Excellent

Yeah, okay, so it says this is 'for men.' Girls, you need to try this. It's amazing. It works well for me (dry-combination, acne-prone), my mom (oily, in her 50s), and my 17 year old brother (oily, very acne-prone). It foams really well, has no fragrance, and you have to use very little for a lather than can feel overwhelming at times. It's an excellent cleanser (safe to use on your eyes and gets off mascara) and more people need to know about it.
