Dark Angels

I really like this product and will continue to use it until I run out, but I have been coming across a small problem where it leaves a dark residue whenever I wash it off? I would then need to remove the residue using another cleanser or a toner to wipe everything away.. not quite sure why that's happening but even when I scrub my face really hard the residue is still there??

I love Dark Angel's. Sometimes I'll mix it with ocean salt for extra exfoliation. The one product I keep in my bathroom no matter what!

Again, another great charcoal product for my 17 year old!

I love this product, I've been using this for months and has been wonderful for clearing my acne. I now get less breakouts and the ones I do get are not as harsh. I love the exfoliating feature, although I do find it rather rough and it can be harsh for sensitive skin. After starting to use it more frequently however, I noticed tiny dark spots on my face I had never seen before. At first I thought they were blackheads, but I had never got them before so I was confused. I was removing the cleanser all wrong...instead of just rinsing it off with water like I had been doing, I needed to actively scrub it off, because the tiny black specs that exfoliate started getting into my pores. My skin is way to sensitive to handle this cleanser and a harsh scrubbing from a washcloth all the time, so unfortunately I will be trying a gentler product. Will continue using this though on the rest of my body, I would recommend this product for someone who doesn't have sensitive skin.

This is LITERALLY the only product I've ever had get rid of my facial acne. "Hard to wash off" is the complaint I see most on here in the reviews... however I think that is WHY it works so well for acne, though. You do have to use extremely hot water and a washcloth to remove the mask after it sets in (I recommend buying black ones or acknowledging the fact that the washcloth you use for this purpose will be stained with black marks). I disagree with the comments saying you need to use soap, you just have to use elbow grease and a good abrasive cloth! I personally put it on, get in the shower and wash my hair/body, and then go to work with a washcloth and hot water to scrub it all off.

People complaining that this is oily... that's the point! It's an OIL based cleanser! follow it up with a water-based cleanser and your skin will SING. My skin has been sooo amazing since I combined this with a cheap gentle water based cerave cleanser. I wouldn't recommend it on it's own but.... babes if you use it how it's intended it's great.

I've been using dark angels for years but recently it started leaving a black residue on my skin that has to be followed up by another wash. I use it every night and it honestly has helped my skin. I don't want to give it up but since this has started I am looking for other options.

I love this body scrub. It smells good, not an overly strong scent. I use it on my face& arm pits. Yes, it usually takes a good amount of wiping to get it off..and sometimes I need to use other soap to get all the black off. But it works very well kerping my skin clear and soft.

I use Angels on Bare Skin all the time and love it so I tried Dark Angels and WOW I basically had to scrub my skin off to get the charcoal off my face. The first time I used it, in the shower, I was like oh this is lovely-- the smell is so nice, and my skin felt good. I rinsed it off with a wet washcloth and got out of the shower and was shocked to look in the mirror and see that I looked like a chimney sweeper or worse, like I was wearing blackface. I had to use SOAP to get it off, which seems kind of counterproductive since this is supposed to be a face cleanser. I will stick with the Angels on Bare Skin!

Very thick oily paste that leaves a dark residue on my skin that has to be washed off with another soap or cleanser. Calling this a cleanser is misleading.
