Didn't work
Didn't do anything. My skin reacts to cleansers pretty quickly, about a week or two. I used this for around 2 months and nothing changed. The only good thing is that it didn't make me break out any worse.

SAD
So... this all started on February 13th, 2018... the day i will never forget..... I didn't ever really have bad acne growing up, maybe just a few breakouts here and there only on my forehead. as i got older this went away, but i needed a new face wash and started to notice my acne coming back. So i tried biore, the label clearly reads *prevents breakouts* i am so disappointing and i feel like I have been robbed of my money and lied straight to my face... after 2 days of using this product a breakout like never before occurred. I have NEVER had a breakout like this in my LIFE. Red... white.... all over my cheeks and jaw... I am too embarrassed to go out because it is so bad. People are saying that if you experience break outs that means its working and too stop using it if it gets worse after a while. OH HELL F**KING NO WHAT KIND OF FACE WASH MAKES YOU BREAK OUT EVEN MORE AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE IF IT GETS WORSE??????? THIS IS THE WORST BREAK OUT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I WAS BETTER OFF NOT WASHING MY FACE AT ALL. I AM SO MAD AND DISAPPOINTED I DO NOT EVEN WANT TO GO OUT IT IS SO BAD. DO NOT BUY THIS, I DO NOT RECOMMEND, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND SAVE YOUR FACE!!!!!! thank you u suck

DON'T DO IT
I used this face wash for THREE DAYS. I had a few blackheads on my cheeks and nose, and I thought this would clear them up. After THREE DAYS, I now have cystic acne on my nose and cheeks. I have NEVER had acne this bad. DON'T USE THIS PRODUCT.

no. just no.
i created this account JUST to leave this review. it's that bad. i was on vacation and i forgot my normal face wash so i thought i would head on over to walmart to get a new one. when i saw this one was for oily skin i got excited to see something for my skin type so i bought it. i usually wash my face in the shower and i put it all over my face, neck, chest, and arms to help my skin in those areas. worst. decision. ever. the next morning after only one use i woke up with red itchy hives all over my face neck and chest! it seems i got more pimples too. i haven't used it since and 3 days later it keeps getting worse. do yourself a favor and do not buy this face wash, get something like yes to tomatoes charcoal face wash

Did the devil invent this?
Let me tell all of you a little story. I decided that I needed to up my skin care routine so I mousy on down to my local target and lo and behold i find this beauty promising me the best thing for my face. So like the naive child I am I foolishly agree to purchase the dang thing. I try it that first night and oh boy did it sting my face, but stupid little me thought, "Oh thats probably what it was suppose to do, because cleaning haha." No, This product was forged in hell itself that first day I didn't really see any change, but then I used it again, because I just needed to give it time to work. Wrong again. The next morning I wake up to red as roses skin with BILLIONS of teeny tiny whiteheads everywhere. I took some allergy medicine because i obviously was having an allergic reaction. I Then has to go to work where I was so embarrassed the whole day because my face looked like a red avocado with all those lumps. I didn't have great self esteem before, and this sure as heck didn't help. I then proceeded to target ONCE AGAIN to obtain a different face wash that hopefully could help reverse whatever parasite is living under my skin. I got a recommendation from a friend. Now i tried this face wash and at first it was fine but then i started to notice the burning that was coming from it. I do not know of it was burning because my rash was fighting back which wouldn't surprise me) or if this new product is also going to melt my face like im a wicked witch. So now i am sitting here writing this because I don't know where to go from here. I havent found anyone who has a good way to reverse the rash so im going to hide in my room until my face is somewhat presented to any person with eyes. Biore you suck and this product is trash. I might just burn my house down because at least that fire would probably result in a more attractive version of me. Thank you for your time. Ill be in my room hiding out for the rest of eternity if anyone needs me.

Horrible
Causes horrible inflammation of my skin. When I use this I get huge inflamed red pimples. I just read the ingredients and it contains both salicylic acid and menthol- not written on the front of the bottle. I've used lush dark angels charcoal scrub and loved it I think a much better/more natural alternative.

Chemical burn
I'm a heavy duty mechanic so I'm used to chemicals being all over me and I do not have sensitive skin. Whatever is in this garbage gave me a really bad chemical burn on my face. Avoid this and buy the good stuff.

Sent from hell

For the love of baby Jesus and the 3 wise men do not use this product. I’ve been a bit more spotty than usual with the whole Coronavirus stint which is a mix of hormones, not washing my face as much as I’m depressed and eating 100,000 calories a day on takeaways. Anyway I strolled into my local bargain shop and saw this on sale and though “why not, their nose strips are good. I’ll try it. And it’s only 2 quid.” Little did I know 8 hours later I’d be in the bath rubbing this stuff into my face only for it to sting like I’d just kicked a hornets nest and got attacked a trillion times. It was on for maybe 10 seconds before I panicked thinking I was going to end up like the elephant man and I washed the sh*t right off quicker than you could say Carole Baskin killed her husband. I don’t know what coal they are using but I’m presuming it’s the same coal that Hitler warmed his crusty feet up at the fire with. I then went to see the damage only to greet my boyfriend on the landing to him asking if I need an epi pen and saying “U lOoK liKe a ToMaTo hAhaAha” I’ve looked in the mirror and all I can describe it as - as if I have super high blood pressure and I love the sunbeds. My skin is now tight and burning and thank god we are in isolation because I don’t have any Rouge coloured foundation to match. Let’s hope I don’t need an epi pen after this. I want my 2 pound back!!!
