20 Best Facial Wash For Black Skin (Jan 2023 Update)

I originally bought this set for my husband four years ago to encourage him to start taking better care of his skin, and he has been using the face buff and cleanser ever since! The face buff is his favorite. He says it feels like it lifts the hair and makes shaving so much easier. I have also seen a difference in the fine lines around his eyes. The moisturizer is also good, but he upgraded to a different brand with a higher spf. This set is definitely worth a try!GraceB9

My son has a very sensitive skin. With Jack Black Products he has clean skin and most of all no itch nor inflammation experience. I myself use the thickening shampoo, the hair conditioner, the deodorant, and the shave cream. Highly recommended!CHV77

I bought this for my boyfriend because I wanted him to learn how to take care of his skin. It was incredibly acne prone, but has settled down significantly over the past few years. Now he has predominantly dry skin, a lot of texture, and an oily nose. I asked if he would try products if I got them for him and he said he would, so off to Ulta we went! We asked my esthetician what she would recommend for his skin concerns and ended up with this because it offers a nice array of products and is a great starter kit. He's new to skin care, so I told him I'd use all the products with him to demonstrate how to properly use them. The minute the face buff went on my face I was hooked! The granules are a decent size, but the formula is gentle enough to not irritate sensitive skin. I love the energizing effect of the menthol and there isn't an overpowering smell. It's very effective and even without a moisturizer it leaves my face feeling smooth, soft, clean, and moisturized! I look forward to using it every time I stay over to the point I'm getting a bottle all to myself! As for the face wash, it was okay but I didn't care for the smell–it's off, almost like it's gone bad but maybe it was just a bad batch. It also doesn't really lather, which is good for dry skin but the formula didn't wow me. It's a pass for me, but maybe there's another face wash from Jack Black that's better. The moisturizer is very light weight and didn't leave a residue, but I think for dry skin it isn't quite moisturising enough and would probably be better suited to oilier skin. Seeing as this was an intro to the brand, it's great for what it is. The lip balm is probably the least used product out of the kit, but it works well as a night treatment. It has a very strong mint smell and flavor, so those sensitive to either of those should probably avoid it. Using the products together as a routine has made a world of difference in his skin! He even told me how much of a difference he's noticed using the products and he's happy with the results. I think we found a great routine and from the looks (and feel) of it, it's something he can stick to. It's been about a month and I can't help but touch his face all the time now! I would definitely recommend this set to anyone, particularly people who are new to skin care or are looking for a great gift for the men in their lives. But seriously, everyone needs to try the face buff!One Very Happy Girlfriend

I have been extremely fortunate to have never had acne issues whatsoever in my life until now. The combination of constantly wearing masks at work, and on errands, along with the high heat and humidity in the air due to a very rainy season here in central Texas has pushed my face to the breaking point. At the age of 41, I am trying to solve the issues of adult acne. My tried and true cream cleanser was too heavy, so I gave the Outer Peace foaming cleanser a try. This cleared up my entire face in only THREE DAYS! I will continue to use this product throughout the summer. This product is a gamechanger. Highly recommend for all ages. Bonus: It smells AWESOME!GatosLocos

This cleanser is incredibly amazing. Two pumps of the foam thoroughly covers my entire face and neck. It's really light and gentle but don't let that you fool you into thinking it's not cleaning your face. It dissolves oil incredibly well and doesn't make my skin dry! I have combination skin, where my nose and chin get very dry but oily at the same time, and my cheeks also get oily. I don't get breakouts much anymore but I have a big problem with uneven skin tone, big pores, and occasional blackheads and whiteheads. I've used so many face wash products/lines including all of the drugstore brands as well as other prestige brands. None of them compare to Outer Peace! I use it religiously twice per day. You'll definitely want to use the acne relief pads after using this cleanser. It makes a big difference! My only complaint is that they discontinued the rest of the Outer Peace line! I used to use the whole line (foaming cleanser, acne relief pads, treatment lotion [moisturizer], and spot treatment) plus the clay mask. I was so sad when I realized I couldn't purchase the lotion and spot treatment anymore. Please please please never discontinue the cleanser and pads!KLupin

bought this after reading reviews. I am not at all impressed. It doesn't clean my face very well and it seems that 3 pumps is least amount needed to wash. It doesn't remove my make up very well . I t is unscented. I purchased this at a salon hopefully will be able to return. Not liking it and for the price I need to really love it and in this case I do not. I do love all of the aveda hair products.Mush73

As I get older, I wanted to pay more attention to my skin. About a year ago, I bought three La mer products. Cleanser, treatment lotion and moisturizing cream. I read so many raving reviews and I really wanted to love them. But I couldn’t . They are ok but I can find similar products which are 1/10 of the price. I had to constantly remind myself how much I paid to motivate myself to use the products before they expire..after a year of trying, I just gave up on them.. if you can, try to get the samples before committing to full sizes.TonyFu333

I adore this cleansing foam for morning skin care routines. Firstly, the simple packaging and bottle speaks to La Mer’s incredible marketing team. However the real beauty is in the product itself. A turquoise blue cream comes out of the bottle and smells incredible, almost musky and certainly more on the unisex side of things as if reminded me on a good Tom Ford cologne. This stuff has instant results, feels amazing on the skin and within a week I noticed acne reduction, tighter skin, smaller pores and overall I just felt like I was glowing based off my complexion from my new routine. Very much a product that can and should be used by both men and women. Saving up for the famous La Mer Moisturizer and Eye Cream next as I would like to see what a purely La Mer product routine would do for my skin. Incredible stuff and would recommend trying the smaller bottle first at an amazing price point of $35 for a company known to be at the top of the food chain for beauty products.Johnny9506

First, OK, the price, it's a lot, but this skin cleanser is beyond the ordinary. Wish I'd just invested in my skin with La Mer years ago. I first ordered the smallest size cleanser just to test it out. I used VERY small amounts as suggested by reviewers, and I knew instantly this cleanser was special. It cleans deeply, rinses off easily. It does not leave a coating on my skin, does not dry it out, does not make it oily or greasy. Not only does it perfectly clean and moisturize my skin, it also made the areas of wrinkles smoother, plumper, less lined. I use this with the La Mer skin cream, so if you try this, I recommend getting that too (again, it's pricey so I'd start with the smallest size), but you don't need the skin cream for this cleanser to do wonders.pickyshopper2

I’ve been using this product for about 8 months now and it’s really cleared up my pigmentation, I do use it with other products to help clear pigmentation but I feel this really helps. It does run out quite quick I find, I also use this as a face mask occasionally too, it makes my skin feel lovely. I have quite sensitive skin and I think if I didn’t use a good moisturiser it could make my skin feel quite dry but it’s definitely one of the best face washes I have used.Aimee

I have rosacea and am in love with this product! I dont use it daily but instead it is my weekly exfoliator and is amazing. The combination of micro beads and acids work well to remove dead skin as well as reduce dark spots. I usually use it in the shower and after I’ve rubbed it in I let it sit for 3-4 minutes. I’m so glad i found this affordable product!ShanL

I just love the smell of this cleanser! I use it every day, but sparingly, and after using it for probably 2 months, I can hardly see that the volume has decreased in the bottle. I love the feel of it on my skin. Really great product in my opinion!Lynn

love the smell. absolutely good product. initially, i apply it on dry face, rub and then wash it off. but that completely dried out my skin. when i lather it with water and wash my face, it gave a much better outcome. my face is moisturised and soft. i love the soft and light bubbles when lathered. I'm a huge fan! wish zum can come up with other scents though!iHerb Customer

I've tried numerous cleansing oils, and this is by far superior. As with all Zum products, you can tell this is such great quality. It melts away all makeup, and has not clogged any of my pores in the process. Highly recommend.iHerb Customer

This is a lovely foaming cleanser. You need only a small amount and once wet turns into a foaming cream. Cleans my face really well and leaves it feeling very soft and hydrated. Has a light scent.robin.b

Revitalizing toning lotion conditions and rebalances your skin, leaving it feeling fresh and smooth. Gentle, soothing lotion lightly hydrates and conditions. Manages oily zones while soothing dry areas. Skin feels renewed, comfortable and healthy. Primes skin to achieve maximum results from the skincare that follows. Includes soothing extracts of White Water Lily, Senega, Barberry.veronica.t

I really love this foamy face wash. I have never liked ones that won’t lather up a lot. This one is super lathery and makes washing my face so much more fun. Lol. The only reason I’m giving it only 4 stars is because it’s really hard to squeeze product from the tube. It only takes a tiny bit but it’s not easy getting that tiny bit. In the long run it’s worth the headache because it doesn’t dry my skin out at all and in fact I feel like it moisturizes it. Great product!emily.g

I tried this product and received a full rebate in exchange for my honest opinion. Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser. Recommended by Dermatologists for people with sensitive and/or acne prone skin. As an individual with both extremely sensitive and acne prone skin, I am always looking for the best, most effective products without breaking the bank-easier said then done. I have been using this cleanser for about 5 days now and I am very pleasantly surprised. I have horrible eczema on my eyelids which is prone to flare ups, especially after washing my face, but so far so good with this cleanser! It doesn't leave my skin feeling stripped, tight, or dry like most other face washes. It leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed and it even easily removes make up! I really like the fact that it is soap free and contains pro-vitamin B5 to help breakdown excess oils; something I haven't seen in other products. I especially love the size of the bottle-it will last me a long time! Great value! I hope Neutrogena comes out with something similar for a body wash!Amanda2006

The Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser is a cleanser that claims it cleanses away dirt, oil, grime, impurities, and bacteria. It is dermatologist developed for even sensitive skin, and it is free of parabens, phthalates, and sulfates, skin allergens and irritating oils. I liked that this product is also soap-free and non-comedogenic. I have been looking for an affordable gentle daily cleanser that doesn't irritate my skin and is hydrating for the skin, and I believe I have found it with the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser. The cleanser is good for a double-cleanser if wearing makeup, but it is also good for them natural, no-makeup days. I felt hydrating after using this product, which is important to me because I have acne-prone skin and eczema. I would highly recommend this product to my family and friends that are looking for an affordable gentle daily cleanser.Courtney

I tried this product and received a full rebate in exchange for my honest opinion. I have used the Neutrogena "Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser with Pro-Vitamin B5" for the last week or so. It is made for sensitive skin and acne-prone skin. It is fragrance-free, non-foaming gel. I have acne-prone skin, and especially as of lately with mask-wearing, bad acne around my mouth. Other cleansers I have used dry out my skin and leave it feeling sore and cracked. This cleanser was gentle and felt hydrating, I did not experience any drying effect. The gel is light and easy to apply, I do feel like I need to use a larger amount than some other cleansers that spread more, but not a huge deal. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone really, especially those with sensitive/acne prone skin!Brooke2011

I don’t know how they do it but I am so in love with this cleanser! Most acne washes have dried my face out and actually caused more harm to my skin because of how sensitive my skin is. However, this wash is such a miracle cleanser for me! I have PCOS and get hormonal acne and while I have been watching my diet, this cleanser has been the perfect addition to help cleanse and clear my face! I love the texture of the wash, it feels super silky and a little goes such a long way as it lathers super well. I firmly believe that between this product and the Advanced Retexturizer that my not only the appearance but feel of my skin has improved drastically over the past month!Brandi O.

I tried this cleanser out for 4 months, and it destroyed my skin barrier. I don't have bad acne, just a couple spots on my face, and the reviews said it wasn't drying, so I thought I would give it a shot. However, it was the worst decision, and I regret buying this! It actually gave me more acne in places I never used to have it before, probably due to overproduction of oil to combat the dryness of my skin. Please only use this if you need acne control. Otherwise, I recommend the gentle cleanser from this site.Madison W.

i have always always ALWAYS had acne to some degree. I had it as a teen and I get it as an adult during my cycle. When I started using the Gentle Acne Cleanser, my skin cleared straight up, and it remained that way until I ran out and had to use a fill- in from a local natural store. Let me tell you- I have so much cystic acne now that my poor face is in constant pain. I am desperately awaiting the arrival of my new bottle of the acne cleanser because trust me- I have learned my lesson and will be loyal to DRMTLGY and this cleanser for LIFE. RUN. GET IT NOW.Chelsee G.

I have to admit that Fleur & Bee is literally the best products ever!! I'm so ecstatic that I've found this line. I will never use another skincare line ever. This is my "go to". The cleanser makes my face feel so fresh & clean. After 1 use I swear I've noticed a difference (I'm not lying nor exaggerating). The toner is a definite. I even love love love the vitamin C serum. It leaves my skin feeling so hydrated, I've even noticed i have a little glow after using it too. I even love their moisturizer! I highly recommend their products 120%. If you haven't tried it sis I really don't know what you're waiting forMahira

I think Fleur & Bee is a great company and they really work with customers to find the best product. That is how I came to try the facial cleanser. I really like how it makes my skin feel after using it. My skin is prone to the occasional break outs but still more on the dry side so I need a cleanser that won’t dry my skin even more but will help to clear acne. I wash my face with this every night and I am surprised that I still have so much left In the jar. It has been about 6 months since I started using it. I use it daily still and I’m still having break outs so that is a bit of a disappointment for me, so that is why I am giving it 4 out of 5 starsPeri

I was really skeptical about this. I switched my face wash multiple times and sort of just figured it must be stress and there's nothing I can do about it. Fast forward to ordering a sample pack (I really just wanted to try the moisturizer) and figuring what the heck- might as well try it. Long story short, my skin looked better within a day so I guess it wasn't stress! The product is a different consistency than I'm used to (like glycerin), but it's not unpleasant. I love that it's so gentle and has no harsh scents. I'll be using this for a long time.Sara

i've been looking for something gentle enough to not re-trigger my perioral dermatitis. (if you have it once, you're prone to it coming back) treatment required fragrance free, minimal-to-no active ingredients. now that it has cleared, i wanted a bit more exfoliation because my skin has been feeling somewhat dull and congested. this has provided that, without making the dermatitis come back. my skin looks brighter and smoother after a few weeks of use.deedeedug

I have extremely sensitive skin and have only used Cetaphil gentle products for as long as I can remember! I'm in my late 30s now and decided I needed something just slightly more assertive than my normal cleanser but I was glad I could stick with Cetaphil since they've always been gentle enough in the past. I don't find any extra irritation and I use this product with a silicone exfoliator and scrub thoroughly. I think it really helps to give me an extra oomph without irritation. I've paired this with Cerave Nightly Exfoliating Treatment and I've been delighted with how well my skin is clearing up.Bonnie

I absolutely love this product, I am being 100% honest when I say that I am officially trading up my skincare routine to be using only Cetaphil Healthy Radiance products. It is formulated for ultra sensitive skin, they have it ranked on a scale of 1-5 so you can easily see that on the front of the bottle. It is unscented, it is light and lathers well and leaves your skin feeling clean but not like the oils have been stripped from your skin and it doesn't feel like it damages the moisture barrier at all. I have such sensitive skin that even most products made for sensitive skin will irritate me in some way and mostly leave my combination skin still feeling dry, especially in my problem areas where the dry skin seems to come back no matter what. With the healthy radiance I have not had any issues at all with dryness, those tough spots are gone and I really feel that is because of how sensitive it is on the moisture barrier! I have been a CeraVe loyalist for 5+ years, my mom works at a dermatologist office and always brings home samples so I was able to try a few and settle there for a few years. With these new products in the healthy radiance line I am more than willing to switch to this line indefinitely. I'm so excited to have found something that takes care of my problem areas! Cetaphil Healthy Radiance Gentle PHA Exfoliating Cleansersarah.s

have been using for a month or so n my skin looks better with lesser breakouts! use it for morning facial wash to remove access oils on my skin after waking up. every time I used skin feels v refreshed. won't dry my skin. it is v lightweight to use. foam easily without harmful ingredients. no weird scent n artificial fragrance. very natural n good ingredients quality. size is just good to last for long. will buy again.iHerb Customer

I have been using this products, along with my sister, for three months now. We both have sensitive oily/ normal combination skin. This product has helped keep breakouts at bay. However, it is drying. You definitely need a hydration toner and moisturizer afterwards, as it does make your skin tight and a little dry. I am not sure how effective the salicylic acid in it is because in order to really work salicylic acid need to sit on your face for hours. So that part is a little questionable to me. I’d still say it’s worth a shot if you need a deep cleanser, however, I would use it at night as salicylic acid can make your skin more vulnerable to the suns ultraviolet rays.LaurelBeauty

Used this product 100% by the recommended instructions. Followed all the test steps and everything a T. After I got vaccinated and stopped wearing my mask, my skin was the clearest it has ever been, except for blackheads on my nose. I was so proud of clear and shiny skin, but my blackheads really bothered me because of the pore size. That's when I went to Ulta, asked for a recommendation, this was recommended to me, and now I'm experiencing the worst skin I've ever had in my entire life. My hormonal teenage acne wasn't even this bad! Countless whiteheads, red cheeks and visibly bigger pores. I have never felt more ashamed to go outside than I do right now. I finally don't have to mask up anymore, and this happens to my beautifully clear skin. Now I have to start from scratch to fix my skin and get it back to healthy. Do not buy this product, even with oily skin, would not recommend for even a second.Kale

First off, I love that this cleanser is non-GMO, cruelty-free, and contains organic ingredients. It just makes me feel better knowing I'm using natural products on my skin. The cleanser itself lathered up very nicely. My skin did feel a bit dry after washing but after adding a bit of moisturizer to my skin it felt better. I have naturally oily skin and this cleanser left my skin feeling fresh and clean.kayla.n

I got this product free through soical nature. Otherwise i would not have Boughen this because it is kind of expensive. I just tired this in the shower. It comes out fast and kind of liquidly, so be careful pouring it out. This was almost impossible to find at target but I finally did. I have sensitive skin, and this was no problem for me. It left my skin feeling softer and clean. It does have an odd smell I did not like, almost like play dough. I would buy this again if it was on sale. I think it made my skin less oily.sarah.c

I received this product for free in exchange for honest review from social nature and nourishorganic. This stuff right here. It's totally organic and vegan. It's a cleanser plain and simple. I included a picture of the list of ingredients. Something you can actually pronounce. It gets all the makeup off and the oily sweaty grime which is the problem I have. This preps my face for my creams and serums. It works just as well if not better than two prestige brands and it's a little cheaper. They have it at target.carny.s

I watched some Youtube videos to get some recommendations from dermatologist for my facial eczema. This was one of a few cleansers recommended. I hate cold cream so I chose this recommendation instead. Amazing! I let this sit on my face while I brush my teeth. It's so moisturizing that I don't want to take it off. Doesn't have that gross feel like the "C" brand that some like but I don't. It's super gentle and unscented. Rinses easily and my face is left soft and moisturized but not greasy. I will put off a trip to the derm as long as this keeps working. If you have eczema on your face, this is an amazing find.Bridget

I feel so fortunate to have found Toleriane Gentle Face Cleanser. I have been using mild face washes all my life and have always had normal skin with an oily t-zone. After contracting Covid, I developed pustular rosacea. Unable to get in to see a dermatologist for several months, my general practitioner prescribed a topical antibiotic for spot treating the pustules. However, my face still burns, itches and is flaming red whenever I am outside or with the minimal amount of exercise. This face wash instantly cools and soothes my inflamed face. It is not over-drying and I don't even have to use a full pump per wash. La Roche Posay is recommended by top dermatologists all around the world and I can agree that this line of products has really helped calm my skin down.GatorGirl

I have tried several face washes over the years. I don’t have perfect skin but it’s also not super oily nor does it break out often. But it is very sensitive. Product over load or the wrong face care products will cause havoc on my face! This face wash stood out to me almost instantly. I’ve now been using over the past six months and I hands down love this stuff – especially for it’s great price! It suits my sensitive skin perfectly. My face feels so clean after washing. I wear light make-up daily and i do a double wash at night and it washes it ALL off! My skin felt immediately brighter and more even. The large bottle for under $20 lasts me about 2 1/2 months as I just purchased my third and began using in January.azmamabear

This seemed like a great find. It exfoliated perfectly. The smell wasn’t over powering. However, after using it a a few times I noticed that my skin started to become irritated and sensitive after using it. It was even to the point a friend pointed out my face was red hours after using it. I’m not sure what ingredient in this is causing patches of my skin to burn and be red. Maybe it’s just me, but if it weren’t for that reaction. I’d give this product 5 stars. Just so unfortunate my skin broke out in burning splotchy rashes. So many face washes are over powering in scent. This was perfect, just a touch. The way it worked reminded me of St. Ives peach scrub whcih I used to use all the time.Jackie C.

I absolutely like this cleanser. Gentle on skin, doesn't leave skin feeling dry. A little bit goes a long way to clean face. I'm very impressed how well it cleanses the skin. The only problem I have with the cleanser it has quite an unusual scent to it, but other than that it does it's job leaving the skin soft and smooth. I definitely recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a natural facial cleanser that won't dry out your skin.KmmeF

It leaves your face dry. A good dry you know not oily but not rough. Its better than the pink bottle pineapple face washfrom pacifica and more natural. Its not foamy like you would think its like very light kinda foamy. Which I totally prefer. I like it very much. My face is like super oily in my whole nose area. This helps with that.IsisYbe

I wish this wasn’t so underrated! It deserves so much hype. I’ve been using this face wash for 3+ years. I have dry skin and my big thing with cleansers is making sure it cleans my face but doesn’t dry me out. This does just that. You can feel how clean it makes your skin but with also keeping it hydrated. I can never find it at Ulta or Sephora anymore but my family buys it for me any holiday they get the chance to and I love receiving it every time because I know it’s hard to find and it’s definitely my HOLY GRAIL.hayley.r

Ugh! More skin care with fragrance. This time it comes from essential oils. I won’t repurchase due to this. However, I’ve used this as my foaming cleanser for my dual cleanse. I’ve used it with my hands, konjac sponge and clarisonic. What it is: A gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that thoroughly cleans skin while protecting its natural moisture barrier for a freshly cleansed complexion. Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily Skincare Concerns: Redness, Dryness, and Pores Formulation: Gel Highlighted Ingredients: – Hydrangea Leaf: Purifies, refines, and minimizes the appearance of pores. – Botanical Amino Acids: Eliminate skin dirt, oil, and impurities, leaving skin conditioned – Green Tea: Soothes as it protects the skin against the abuse of the elements, helping to prevent free-radical damage. Ingredient Callouts: This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free.christy.f

I really enjoyed the consistency of this cleanser. It’s not overly drying for a gel cleanser. Foams beautifully too. This did not cause any breakouts and kept my skin quite clear too. Only downside is that the pump is not easy to use, it gets stuck quite frequently. As a result, I’ll need to “yank” the pump back up.L L

After months of diligent internet research, I finally decided to try the Hero Cosmetics Clear Collective line. I purchased the jelly cleanser, toner, capsule toner, and lightning wand. I've never had problem skin – occasionally a tad oily but not usually one to break out severely. I purchased this product mid February and finally made the decision to return it back to Ulta. I've never had a set of products just completely mess with my skin. After a weeks worth of usage I started breaking out in a ton of "white heads" which I was told was just my skin being purged. I gave the products more time and it's just gotten to the point where my skin is red, broken out in acne, and uneven. The before picture of me smiling is what my skin looked like before I tried any Hero cosmetics products – the other side profiles are what my skin looked like afterwords. No dietary change, hormonal shift, etc. could have caused this. Leaving this review as a cautionary warning to anyone else whose thinking of trying this line of products.Sierra

The first thing I love about this cleanser is the jelly texture. It looks odd at first but once it meets my wet face, it lathers very nicely and a single pump does the job perfectly. It has very small exfoliation jelly beads that are extremely gentle but super effective. It leaves my skin soft and nice to the touch without stripping the skin barrier or drying it out. The AHAs in the formula are absolutely right on when it comes to balancing my oily/combo/acne prone skin. Within few days of use, I noticed that my oil production is actually becoming normal. I use it in the mornings mainly, but also at night when I sweat too much. What a great discovery!ananda.a

I am 30, have oily prone skin, and can occasionally get dry with the wrong products. My face is also easily prone to acne when using the wrong products. I have tried Proactive, other drug store brands, and expensive brands but this is the holy grail. I have received so many compliments on my face. I love the whole Hero cosmetics line. However, I do not need the toner but the moisturizer is awesome! I also use the face shield spray and stick as well. I would give this a try if you're tired of other brands not working and are getting frustrated with your face routine. The smell is not strong at all either. This deserves way more stars. Now, I wish Hero would come out with makeup remover and eye cream!GodwulfM

"Besides the one sulfate and one detergent (although it is naturally derived) the ingredients are great but not good for oily skin". @Magicalbrunette Alright! Im doing a better job shopping! We've moved up from comments like " you should NOT be using that on your face!" and "not terrible" to conditional approval! Black wood grain tube, no box… yep it's for Men. Orange insignia means acne fighting! Activated charcoal? Don't you ingest that to pass drug tests? Whoa, its black! And gooey! Like evil aloe plant innards! Or that ubiquitous black slime that always shows up in horror movies when stuff gets serious. I thought the charcoal bit was just marketing fluff. Maybe they just waved a Kingsford briquette over it to give it a manly blessing but no-ho they put some charcoal in a food processor and hit puree! OK, I'm over it, moving on. So it foams up into nifty looking dark gray lather and feels pretty nice. I've used it for a couple weeks and it kept a damper on my acne without making my face fall off. It's unscented and more importantly the wife approves of the sort of gentle soap smell. It's also only about 8 bucks a tube, definitely recommended.brian.a

What a great product. The face wash cleans my skin without drying it out. My skin is typically oily however since using the face wash my skin feels moist and soft all day. I have to comment on the body wash too. The body wash leaves you feeling clean and refreshed all day. I highly recommend both of these products.Seth B.

The pores on my nose were "Big Daddies" until I started using Every Man Jack's Face Wash with Activated Charcoal. It is a deep pore cleanser with salicylic acid. This stuff reduced the "Big Daddies" to "Little Babies" in no time. It is like reverse aging. I almost feel sorry for them. Not really! I love this stuff!Jimmie S.

This is hands down my fave from this line. Of all the cleansers that I have purchased and tried, I am really liking this one. Very soothing, non drying, and cleanses really well without leaving any kind of film or stickiness afterwards. I would consider this to be my overall Holy Grail in terms of daily facial cleansers. I use it twice a day, it lathers really well for me, rinses clean and my skin look very refreshed after using it. Best part of it is I get absolutely 0% irritation. Many other claims this, but often have too much fragrance and other additives that aggravate my skin. Not the case with this one. I love this so much I already have 2 backups in case they change the formula. Give this one a tryChicagoGuy

For my mature and sensitive skin, I like gentle cleansers–ones that don't strip my skin, but still actually clean my skin without leaving a residue. I clean with a sensitive micellar water makeup remover (sadly not available through LovelySkin). Then, I clean with Soothing Cleanser Foam. On days with no makeup, I just use this cleanser. In the winter, I wonder some days if this is too drying, but I am not sure that it really is; in the summer, I wonder if I need something a wee bit stronger, but why strip my skin. SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser Foam is just right. I keep a bottle in the shower which I use at every shower, and a bottle in my makeup drawer by the sink. These two bottles have lasted me about a year with daily use…quite a bargain, actually. I have tried so many cleansers, looking for a cleanser that would…do what?…clean my skin very gently, very thoroughly. And, I realized that I actually have that cleanser, and that there is no reason to search any further.matureskinminnie

Decided to try this cleanser as the Gentle Cleanser is still out of stock and I’m so happy I did! This formula is lovely and incredibly soothing. You only need the tiniest amount; not a full pump. I thought surely I would use up this bottle too quickly, but I’ve been using morning and night for a month and have only used less than a quarter of the bottle. Thrilled that this will last me several months. I adore the creamy, foam formula. In the evening, I use following an oil cleanse. Not sure this would adequately remove sunscreen. Perhaps it would, but a double cleanse is simply my routine/peace of mind.JamiGrace

I decided to try Bolden so that I could get rid of any bumps that I had on my face. I also wanted a cleanser that wouldn't be harsh on my face. So when I found out about Bolden I had to try it. I've been using I and loveee it💕. I would suggest if you have oily skin like myself to give it a try. My mom uses it now too.Monae S.

It’s a great cleanser. But my skin doesn’t like it either. It’s possible it was the new foundation I tried, but my acne was never this bad, even as a teen. I’m still using it because I bought so much of it. But I probably won’t buy it again. It does make my skin smoother if that helps, but there’s something in this brand that my skin is sensitive to and I have no idea what it is. For the right person, it’ll be a god send. Just not for me. And at 90 bucks for the full kit? I made the mistake of buying two and now I can’t do a thing with it. 😣janai.c

Glad you’re back! I love this cleanser! I have been using it with the toner for almost two years now. It was out of stock for a very long time and I was happy to finally see it was available for order because my skin has been dying without it! I just received my package today and (as a previous reviews states), I was disappointed that they reduced the amount of product you get by 1.6 fl oz with no reduction in price. While the description clarifies the bottle is 5.1 fl oz, the image that is shown is of the original product bottle which is 6.7 fl oz. The product itself is great and I will still be supporting this amazing black owned business, but we gotta keep it real.Nerissa K.
