The Best Bang-For-Your-Buck Face Wash!

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017

If you've been looking for daily men's face wash that has the combination of price, effectiveness and longevity, it's hard to beat this one!

First of all, this face wash is effective. If you want something that will help wash away the dirt and grime on your face after a day outdoors, this is the one to try. It will give you that squeaky clean feeling on your face but without making it feel too tight. However, because everyone's skin is different, this might dry your face out a bit so always put on a face moisturizer after using this wash if it happens to you.

Second, this product will last you a long time. I am dead serious when I say that only a small squeeze of this paste is needed for each wash. It foams extremely well and using more actually feels counterproductive in my opinion. The first two times I've used it I actually had to wash my hand of the foam because I had squeezed too much. That has never, ever happen to any face wash I've used in the past! Trust me when I even say that a dime sized amount is overload! This fact alone makes the product last a very, very long time.

Lastly, you can't beat this price! A single lunch or breakfast meal would cost more than this wash and as mentioned above in my second point, you are getting a lot in return since only a very tiny amount is needed for each wash.

I have very sensitive combination type skin and so far, this wash has been very good to me. However, this isn't the only face wash in my arsenal and so I use it only 2-3 times a week. I honestly haven't come across a better bang-for-your-buck men's face wash than this one here and I've done a lot of research as sad as I have to admit.

EDIT 03/21/18: OK, so here are the four products that I have been using in constant rotation for a while now and I'll share it here.

1. This charcoal face wash for both morning and night. This is my go to face wash and I haven't used anything else in a while whereas prior, I would use 2-3 different face washes and rotate them.

2. After each face wash, I use this Korean aloe vera gel as a moisturizer. It is smoothing and works very well for my oily skin although if your skin gets EXTREMELY dry, this gel probably won't be moisturizing enough and you'll most likely need something strong, like a lotion based type of product.Nature Republic New Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera 92% Gel, 10.56 Fl Oz

3. About 2-3 times a week, I use Kiehl's Energizing Facial Scrub. I suggest you buy this locally as the price can get pretty ridiculous on Amazon depending on when you're searching for it.

4. Once a week, I use the Biore nose strips.Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips for Nose, 14 Count

Hope this helps someone out!

Good, but dries out skin

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

I found this face wash to be fairly good. It cleans and refreshes your skin as well as anything else I've tried. I don't know that it's worth the premium price, but I've enjoyed using it for a few months.

I don't have particularly sensitive, oily, or dry skin, and I don't have much trouble with acne or anything like that, so I think I'm a fairly typical example. That said, I found that, despite applying facial moisturizer daily, after I started using this face wash, I occasionally get very dry skin on and around my nose. I've cut back on how much I use and make a bit of an effort to wash more gently, and it seems to be fine now.

If you're have dry skin, you may want to use this face wash cautiously to start.

Otherwise, it's great. It's a little thicker than some and looks pretty cool with the charcoal.

Best facewash product I've ever used, it's that simple.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020

This product is amazing. I have an aversion to strong aromas and will often get headaches from heavily perfumed items. This does not have a heavy aroma. It's light and pleasant and you do not smell it after rinsing. Secondly, I love that you only use a very small amount, approximately pea-sized, or smaller, and it won't SEEM like it'll be enough, and it's very thick. That changes as soon as you get it slightly wet and begin to lather it between your hands and massage onto your face. It's foaming action is fantastic, and it leaves your face nearly "squeaky" clean. I have sensitive skin and have had to use Ivory bar soap for years on my body due to allergy issues. If you've used this type of soap you'll know it leaves your skin almost squeaky after rinsing. I've come to associate that feeling with cleanliness. This leaves your face in nearly the same condition. I only gave 4 starts on moisturizing because that feeling could leave some people feeling a little dry. I happen to like that feeling more than "moist". It feels fresh and clean. Finally, despite containing peppermint leaf extract, this wash does not give that "cooling" menthol-like feeling that some like. I do not, so if you are looking for that, look elsewhere. Great product, it will last a VERY long time, probably 6 months based on the usage after a week. I'm ordering 2 more bottles today. A+

From gel to foam to fabulous

This product is great! I love it goes from a gel to a foam in seconds. I feel like this is better than using soap! I think using soap made me breakout so I am hoping this stuff doesn’t! My skin feel really smooth and I’m just sitting in my bed and yet it feels like my skin is getting clean! I have facial hair so it felt hard to get the chin but it still feels good anyways! My forehead feels amazing! It says to use twice daily so I hope that make my face even better! The charcoal that this is infused with isn’t too overpowering! 🥰

GREAT PRODUCT !

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021

Someone had mentioned to me that charcoal has some highly effective, powerful cleansing abilities. As I was doing my research, I almost purchased a product that had thousands of reviews, but many claims that the charcoal concentration in it catalyzed a negative reaction. That it burned the skin, caused severe redness and irritation, allergic, toxic reactions, etc. So I didn't purchase that one.

This one by L'Oreal was EXCELLENT! Not only does it provide a very deep skin cleansing, it also smells GREAT! I LOVE its cool, clean fragrance! I love how the product opens my pores, clears them out, and makes the skin feel so refreshed, vibrant, clear and clean!

I love how it's design makes it so versatile and easy to use. Just squeeze the amount you need onto the palm of your hand, close the top, rub with the palms of your two hands and apply! It comes out of its container almost like toothpaste, but a thinner, more controlled line. It is PERFECT!

I am on my third container and will keep purchasing it for years to come!

A little goes a LONG way!

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020

Been using this product for a little over a week now and I have to say that I'm enjoying it. Let me first say that a little goes a LOOONG way. With most face washes, I find myself applying a nickel or even quarter-sized squirt, with L'Oreal, a dize sized squirt is enough for 3 washes. At first it doesn't seem like enough, but as you add a bit of moisture, you find that it stretches well beyond what you'll need.
The scent is also quite nice. It's neither masculine nor feminine, it's more or less neutral. The scent also doesn't linger, which is even better.

Following my use, my skin doesn't feel dry, tight, or oily, it simply feels clean. No residue left on the face or anything of the sort as well. Just a few nice and smooth clean.
I have gotten it in my beard as well as the hair on my head, it washes out/off quite easily.

In terms of it staining, I've seen and noticed none. My white porcelain sink is still the same shade of white. Though I personally prefer using a facewash in the shower so that I don't have to worry about drying off the counter area once I'm complete.

I currently use the face wash twice per day; morning and evening.

Best facewash I've found at an amazing price

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have both oily and sensitive skin. Tried countless brands of face wash of all price ranges. It either worked and dried my skin out, or didn't work well and didn't dry my skin out. This is easily the best face wash I've found, especially at the price point. Nothing compares. The best part is, a little, and I mean a tiny amount goes a long way. I don't use every day, but probably 3 times a week and this will last 6 months. It foams up easily and rinses just as well. And like I said, does not dry my face out. Other face washes at 3x the price don't compare. I'm not kidding. Coming from someone who has tried, and thrown away many...

Pleased so far!

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020

I am a man with oily skin, but showers dry my face out. Have never really been serious about skin care, but gave this product a try. Have been using it for a few days now, twice per day as recommended. So far it has been going well, and I’ve noticed my face is less oily, and not as dry after showering.

This should last anyone quite a while, even using it twice daily. Honestly you don’t need much. It squeezes out as a thin black gel, and I use maybe a dime or nickel sized amount in my palm. Rub my hands together and apply it to my wet face in the shower. Focusing on my cheeks, nose, and forehead, I continue applying in circular motions and the black gel eventually turns into a white paste. After a minute or so of massaging it in, I rinse my face off and go on with my shower.

I’ll update this post if I notice anything vastly different from my experience thus far, but so far I am pleased.
