Lush Dark Angels Review

You really do have to be oily for the best effect. A staff member mentioned that the residue usually happens if you use on drier skin - I've found I have way less residue if I use occasionally for really bad days. It works great like this and leaves me feeling clean and fresh.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this stuff, but calling it a cleanser is crazy to me!

I use this once or twice a week as an exfoliating in the shower. I rub it on and leave it for several minutes then lightly rub in circular motions and rinse off, then use come cleanser to ensure the residue is removed.

It leave my fave feeling smooth and exfoliated. I urge you not to use this as your daily cleanser though. I have oily skin and it does help. But it’s far too abrasive for every day.

I bought some of this cleanser last year and was pretty intrigued to try it with it being black and charcoal like lol. It doesn't really have a scent, well not one that I could easily pick out.

The texture is pretty hard to explain, its soft but at the same time its gritty. I think that is how I would describe it. When I first tried it, I found it quite messy as it crumbles into your hand but once you wet it, it starts to come together. I wet my face first and then applied it, rubbing it in circular movements. Because of the gritty bits in it, I didn't rub too hard as I have extremely sensitive skin. When I finished massaging it in, I rinsed it off and my skin felt so soft but at the same time a little red. Maybe I rubbed it harder than I thought or it did irritate me a little, but the second time I used it I realised it must be because of my dry skin. It does leave your skin really clean and soft but as I found out later on its actually for oily skin, oops. I didn't buy it again but found it still did a good job at cleansing my skin.

This is a product that I only use at certain times of year; that is to say, the summer months. I get super oily in summer and find I need a bit more help keeping my skin clear. The Dark Angels cleanser, whilst initially terrifying (to me, anyway) really does help give the skin a thorough cleaning. I find you have to be very gentle when using it, as it can be a bit rough on the skin. Also, this is advertised as being for oily skin, but I would NOT go near this if your skin is dry or even if it is combination dry. It would feel really rough against the skin and overall might not be an enjoyable experience.

This product was great, and fun to use! Worked really well, however did get stuck up my nostrils for some reason (must have been hard at work scrubbing that area).

i got lush - dark angels for christmas, i use this 3-4 times a week as im combination skin, and it is a rougher texture to exfoliate and i dont like to use anything too harsh every day. i find when i use this my skin feels clean and fresh. I only use a small pea sized amount of product, and mix with water and apply all over my face. overall i really like it and will continue to use :)

This was my first cleanser from Lush. I like scrubby type products but decided to switch to Lush because I thought it would be much better for the environment. I enjoyed using Dark Angels. It made my skin feel clean and fresh/not oily and I also liked the smell. The major downside is that it is charcoal based and makes everything it touches black! I used Lush's Tea Tree Water to get rid of what was left after I washed it off (which made me feel extra clean and fresh).

I really enjoyed using the Dark Angels cleanser as it was great as a facial cleanser and great for the body too!

i noticed i was getting little bumps / black heads on my decolletage and this was great to exfoliate with!

it really made my skin glow!

only down side would be that it can be a bit messy to start off with!
