How to use Coz most ppl don't seem to know how
Ok I'm sorry but ppl need to stop saying the product is sh*t just because it leaves black streaks and then they have to run it of harshly just to get it off!u are using it wrong!!!with any cleanser which is lightly exfoliating u have to WET YOUR FACE before rubbing it on ur face!Duh!of course if it over all doesn't work for u then sure don't use it I mean it's definetly not good for sensitive skin but I never had black left overs on my skin and that's because I know how to use it properly and because I wash my face good.With any product if u don't wash it off properly it will clog ur pores and therefore make u break out more

It's a no from me
This was the first lush cleanser I've ever used. There was soooo much hype about it so naturally I was excited to use it. I actually loved the smell. I used this twice a day, and shortly after using it I developed a buuuunch of tiny pimples all along my face - mind you, I'm already suffering with horrible cystic acne. So I used this for about two months because sometimes cleansers can apparently make your skin worse before it gets better, or something like that. Well every time I used the cleanser, it left horrible black residue all over my face. So I had to scrub with a washcloth to get it off, which irritated my skin. Then, when I thought all of the cleanser was off, I would go in with toner and a cotton round and when I was done the cotton round would be covered in black residue from dark angels. So I really give up with lush cleansers (herbalism did the same thing with residue and gave me the most painful cystic acne) and highly suggest not using them because of this. They also contain fragrance which is not great for your skin. If you are looking for a wonderful cleanser for acne, especially a more natural one, I highly suggest the tea tree oil spa cleanser from Trader Joe's!

A product as exfoliating as this should definitely not be used twice a day. There is too much friction to the skin which causes frequent breakouts which worsens as the skin becomes more dry due to over exfoliation.

It's saved my face!
I've had acne since I was fairly young, and most creams or ointments I tried were to harsh even though I had oily skin. Dark angels has kept the acne under control and my face is even less oily without irritating my skin!

Acne remedy
I really like this scrub. I've been suffering from acne prone skin since I was 17 years old, going from product to product. Over the past 3 months of using Dark Angels I've seen a huge difference with my skin! I don't get big pimples anymore, sometimes a minor white head but it heals fast, my skin is glowing and my acne scars are healing. Overall, I'm really happy with the results. Especially when I use it as a morning scrub to smooth my skin before applying my makeup! I would definitely recommend this product. Ask Lush for a sample if you are looking to try a new acne remedy!

Rubbish
Bought this product from Lush because I thought that using something with 'natural' ingredients would help battle those pesky spots and keep them at bay. Alas, I was wrong. This product just makes me break out even more, I don't know whether it's because when I rinse it off I still have the product stuck in my pores which I can't scrub off or what. Don't buy!!

Meh
I would LOVE this if they took out the large sugar particles -- as it is, it's just way too abrasive to be used on a daily basis which is a shame because I otherwise like everything about it. I've resorted to using it as a mask 1-2x weekly and following up with a regular cleanser to remove any leftover residue. For daily use I prefer the Coalface bar or Herbalism. It's nice as a mask and leaves my skin feeling calm and smooth. It also seems to help shrink active breakouts a bit. I'm using it as a body scrub as well in order to use it up before it expires and it works great for that.

nahh
This one didn't work for me. My skin is very sensitive and breaks out with the slightest thing. Dark Angels clogged my pores almost immediately

MIRACLE CURE
This stuff is amazing. I have tried countless other over the counter products... creams, scrubs, toners... nothing worked! The BP and SA chemicals were so harsh on my skin and they still weren't even clearing my acne. Long story short, I (hopelessly) walked in to the LUSH store one day and they recommended this for my adult cystic acne (oily/combination, dry/flaky, red/blotchy skin). I was miserable until I tried this stuff. After ONE WEEK my acne was greatly reduced. I barely got any new pimples, and if I did they were tiny and healed quickly. I think those little pimples were already formed under my skin before I started this product. Anyway, now my skin is glowing with no new pimples! This stuff is also reducing my acne scars. Oh any my skin isn't as oily! PLEASE try this stuff! It is a miracle!

I know you posted this review over six months ago, but I am wondering if you had an initial break out when you first used this product? I have oily acne prone skin, also cystic ane, and have been using this every other day for the past week. I am breaking out in weird places that I usually do not break out in. I know it can be a sign that it is helping, but I do not want to continue if it isn't helping.

Great for Acne Prone Combination Skin.
This product is great for acne prone combination skin. I have a dry forehead and oily acne prone chin. I have been using this product every 2 days, leaving it on for 15 or 20 minutes before drying it off. It has significantly helped my breakouts. All I need now is something to get rid of the left over acne scars. :D I have really sensitive skin, so when I was using it everyday it was too harsh of an exfoliater. But using it every 2 days, has been perfectly fine. If you're not used to serious scrubs it will take some time getting used to it. I do not suggest using this if you have no acne and just dry skin.
