Dark Angels

Yes, it does leave residue, but you can wash your face with cold water after the shower, and it goes away immediately. It smells so good, and the texture is perfect!

I really wanted to like this but I just don't think I can buy it again. It is impossible to get off my face without using another cleanser— and after that it's like what's the point? All of my towels are stained with black marks and so is the inside of my shower. Otherwise it smells great and makes my face feel soft. I'm not convinced it's doing anything for my acne, unfortunately. I think Herbalism works better for me.

I have used this product for a long time. I've seen reviews saying some batches are good and others leave residue. For me, this product has always left a residue. It's annoying, which is why I gave it four stars but if you just keep it in mind and adjust the way you use it, it works out especially if you have acne prone skin. Ever since I started this product, I rarely get breakouts and if I do, they are much less severe and less painful. The residue is from the oiliness but that same oiliness keeps skin hydrated and reduces breakouts. To avoid residue, just use less and mix with more water for a watery consistency instead of a paste. Always check your face in the mirror before leaving the bathroom the make sure there isn't residue and any residue is easily removed with a damp cloth.

Love this product works great

I am obsessed with Dark Angels. It is messy and it does get all over your shower but I don't care because it keeps my skin so clear and smooth. I also use it between waxes on my bikini area to avoid ingrowns. It works and is worth the trouble of leaving residue in the shower and sometimes on my face. When that happens I just use a little bit of toner and move on. I switched to some other stuff for a few weeks because I took my clear skin for granted and broke out. This works. Its amazing. Please never stop selling it.

I really love this product. I've repurchased, and would recommend. While it can be sticky, I use a little water to thin the product out and it works well. I love using it in conjunction with my regular cream cleanser. I especially love using this product in place of harsh exfoliants like those apricot scrubs

I want to like this product more; it does feel great, a little goes a long way, it can be used all over and charcoal is a great ingredient for cleansing. However, the first time I came out of the shower after using it I panicked because I looked like I'd sprouted a stubble. It ended up being hilarious but that's only thanks to the saving grace of a facial scrubbing sponge to scrub it out of my pores. It is exfoliating but it does stick, so you need that extra surface scrub to get it off. I actually have to go over with my generic cleanser to rinse this cleanser off, but it does feel deep cleaning. This does seem like a contradictory review but I did buy this product on a whim so I am writing this with an optimistic view of the product :) mostly so that I don't feel guilty buying it.

I used to love this product years ago. The past few times it has been staining my skin black and I have a hard time getting it off.

I have had some pretty tough issues with adult acne over the last 3 years. I have been using this product now for 3 days and I can already see my face clearing up. The redness is almost completely gone, and all of the acne I had has been shrinking and going away. Usually I would wake up to find a few new pimples and a bunch of redness. Now. I haven't had any new growths start since using this. I can see my face healing and coming back. I can't thank LUSH enough for creating such a great product I have tried many pharmacy brand cleansers and all they did was either burn my skin or cause it to dry out beyond control. I am so happy I dipped into my partners container of this to try it..

I love this product. It's the only cleanser that really helps with my oily skin and acne. As other reviews have mentioned, it does leave a black residue on your face. But I find if you add a little more water when making the paste and use a face cloth when taking it off, it comes off fairly easily. I've been using it for about a year and absolutely love it
