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.

I Don't Give This Enough Credit
Here's the thing: I really like this product and forget how much I like it. It's extremely tough on dirt but never really dried my skin out I don't think. However, my skin without it looks better than it did with it so I can't truly advocate for it. But let me say this: I think this is a good product worth your money to try out more than a lot of other products you are curious about. I don't think it made my skin any worse, & I know it didn't dry me out, but I definitely know it wasn't a miracle worker either. HOTTAKE: If you're looking for a tough cleanser for summer to cut thru pools of sweat and oil...I highly recommend this. As an everyday cleanser for your everyday life...lets be honest, you can do better.

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!!!

Tl;dr cleared acne and replaced it with hives

While for me, this product rid of what little acne I had (with the combination of my other products), my face has become covered with hives; at first I was unsure what was causing it, so I ceased using this product as well as adjusting my diet and anything else I could think of. After testing one thing after another, multiple times, I realized I only got the hives after using the cleanser; I am aware of other allergens which cause a similar effect, this I was extremely cautious as to avoid those while trying to locate the new cause of the reaction. 

I'm lead to believe that they changed their formula as I had used the product a year or two ago with no reactions; if this is the case, I plead they return to the original formula..

Mad and confused!

Hello, so I have been using Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser for about two or so weeks now. I followed the instructions and did as it says. Which since I did as told, my face and lips started burning after the use, and I am very familiar with face cleanser and this burn wasn't something I have experienced before. I have also notice how much more often I see white heads or blackheads appearing on my face. The only reason why I used this product in the first place is because my dearest mother got it for me as a Christmas gift because she knows how much I struggle with finding the cure to my acne. I am very disappointed in this product and I am so sad because I finally thought I found a product that works...
