Dark Angels

So like my headline says: I expected more. I think I expected more because it has charcoal and I had never had a bad experience with any product that had charcoal in it before. However, this product was able to change my mind in a matter of two days. So first, whenever I use it, I have to go over it with face wipes to get a black residue off of my face. If that isn't bad enough, I have to reuse another face wash and/or cleanser to get the black marks off of my face: that is very time consuming. I think it was because I was using too much but it also happened when I used very little. Then I thought it was because I wasn't scrubbing the product all the way in and that seemed only to make it worse. The issue seems to be whatever underlying oil is in the product is thick and so when you rub it in: it simply sits on your face. I was disappointed especially since it came recommended so I got the largest size and now, I can't use it. Another thing, I have oily skin which is something that I told the LUSH rep when we were in the store: after using this product, I did notice that I got a bunch of small bumps all over my face. It could have been from getting a new product and my body reacting to the shift but overall, I will not be buying it again. The two stars are for the smell which, in my opinion is amazing and the texture which I love. It also has this warming agent that warms your face up as you rub it in -- I love that. If they ever figure out how to avoid the blackface issue, I might reconsider buying it again because it has potential to be a pretty good product.

I like the exfoliating texture but the residue it leaves behind is ridiculous. I really wash and scrub it off with my hands but a black oil-like film always remains. I have to follow it up with an exfoliating cloth or a face wash to get it off.

I have to use another cleanser after I use this because it leaves a black residue on my skin that I cannot wash off.

I usually love Lush products, but this one made my skin so irritated... also I feel like the charcoal stuck to my skin and I couldn't get it off. I thought it would do wonders for the blackheads on my nose but it didn't help

I think this product is amazing, it really dies leave my oily skin matte and has helped with my acne. The only problem my other people, is the grey residue it leaves, though i do acknowledge that is very easy to wash off as long as you put in a little more effort. Overall, i love it and will buy again.

I use it in the shower on my face and it works great it just smells like black licorice which I don't like but I like how it works

I really like this cleanser, but similar to others I have found it really gets stuck in my pores! I need to scrub it off with a face washer to avoid leaving my face covered in grey, which is fine occasionally but I can't use this as a daily cleanser as I had intended. I have large pores so I'm not surprised. I'd appreciate a note or warning on this product to let people know!

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!
