L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash Review

I've been using this face wash for almost a month now and I love it! My skin is so soft and my breakouts are at an all time low! I feel more confident in my own skin now

I bought this in a hurry, looking for a good brand and heard this wash a good face wash. It does make my skin look a lot clearer, cleaner and ‘detoxified’ compared to other washes. The only down side is that it makes my skin feel thigh afterwards. The bottle does not point out what kind of skin type this is made for. I would definitely recommend it is for oily/combination skin. Good price for the amount provided.

I got this clay wash in a BBBE.

It comes in a lovely green tube with a flip top. The product squeezes out easily. It is a thick green gel, and has a lovely smell. I've been applying as per the instructions, applying to damp skin, massaging in small circles, then rinsing. I have learned that the longer you leave it on, the longer it takes to remove.

I find it leaves my skin clean and soft. It says it detoxifies, brightens, and cleanses, and it does a pretty good job of all of these three claims. I'm going to use it every day until the tube is empty to see what it does over time, and will update at the end.

But so far I think that at $14.99 it is a good price for a good product of this type. Definitely worth a try.

I was initially drawn to this product because of its generous bottle size - expecting a baby any day, I wanted to avoid having to go out to the shop for at least a few weeks so figured this would see me through. It is a gel consistency and dark in colour, hinting at a strong charcoal presence. I found the scent a bit strong and chemically, it reminds me of mens body wash. It lathers up super well and cleans the skin very effectively, no traces of makeup or dirt left behind. In saying that, it also strips the skin of natural oils and leaves my face feeling tight. I probably wouldn't reccomend for dry or sensitive skin types.

I had heard great things about this product so was keen to try it.

It comes in a standard looking tube, very generous size though so lasts for ages. Packaging is basic looking, nothing out there.

Formula is weird - it's like washing your face with a mud mask but lathers up as a usual cleanser would.

When washing my face, it feels smooth and your skin comes out feeling squeaky clean. Unfortunately that is not good for me as I have dry skin. I felt it stripped any moisture I had left (which is not a heck of a lot) and my face felt really dry and tight.

I'm not sure if this is more for oily skin as it's not a product I ordinarily would have purchased for myself (it was in one of the BRBB so I didn't actually go looking for it).

I have since given it to my teenage boys to use and they seem to like it.

I first purchased this in a hurry, worried I’d brought yet another creamy cleanser that my face doesn’t like. I was quite pleasantly surprised.

I like L’Oréal products, as most of them work well with my skin (combination oily) and this caught my eye with clay as an ingredient (Having had success with clay products before). My main problem with other cleansers is that they are too creamy, and in my oily skin, leave too much moisture, blocking my powers, or they are too light and I need to wash my face at least twice to strip oil residue and excess makeup. L’Oréal’s Pure Clay Detox Wash seems to strike a perfect balance for my skin, leaving it squeaky clean, no residue, but not stripping my skin of the oils it needs to retain.

The tube size is just right, doesn’t take up too much space on the shelf in the shower, but doesn’t get lost in between the larger hair product bottles. Also a handy size for a toiletry bag when I’m travelling, not too big. I do like that it has a flip cap, removable caps in the shower can just be a pain in the a$$

L'Oreal Pure Clay Clay-to-Mousse Cleansers come in three varieties: Charcoal (to detox and brighten), Red Algae (to exfoliate and refine), and Eucalyptus (to purify and mattify). As I have oily skin, and don't like menthol or eucalyptus in my facial products, I chose to get a tube of charcoal.

Now, I wouldn't really describe this product as clay-to-mousse, as the black face wash inside the mint green 130ml flip top plastic tube is definitely a gel and not a thick or medium clay consistency. When mixed with a little water, it converts into a foam and not a mousse, so I'd describe this cleanser as gel-to-foam and not clay-to-mousse.

Each of L'Oreal's Clay Cleansers contain three difference pure clays to remove dirt, oil and impurities, without over-drying the skin. Kaolin clay is an effective natural clay that is known to absorb impurities and excess sebum (oil), Montmorillonite clay is rich in minerals and is recognized for helping to eliminate imperfections, Ghassoul is a pure clay that's highly concentrated in minerals and is renowned for clarifying the complexion, and Charcoal acts like a magnet to attract and draw out impurities from pores.

The charcoal cleanser foams up really well when mixed with a little water, and a little goes a long way with this product. I find it works best for me if I wet my hands, then put a very small about of the gel onto my palm, then rub my hands together to create a nice frothy light grey lather, before applying it to my face. This cleanser definitely does remove any make-up residue, and leaves my skin feeling deeply cleansed without any dry or tight feeling.

I'll definitely be purchasing more of this, and I'm keen to try the exfoliating and refining Red Algae Clay Cleanser as well.

I received this product in two BBBE boxes. I was definitely very keen to try this and expectations were high as it's had plenty of great reviews!

I have this cleanser in the shower - only a small amount of cleanser is needed, and some water, and you'll get a soapy consistency to apply to your skin. It rinses off really well and you immediately feel like your skin is refreshed and very clean (detoxed even!).

When applying it you certainly feel like it's working it's cleansing magic. After use my skin is bright and very clean afterwards.

There is a major BUT with this product for me, however - I find the strong chemical based scent to the cleanser really off putting. It's not a smell I've got used to as I continue to use the product. It's a really strong fume rather than a pleasant scent.

I also found the cleanser a little too thorough for my skin type, and felt it had stripped any oils from my skin, so my skin felt dry and tight afterwards. It's definitely too thorough for daily use with my skin. It is easily resolved with a serum and moisturiser afterwards - but my skin felt much better using it every other day.

I'll finish the tube, but unlikely to repurchase this one as it's just not suited to me & my skin type I suspect.

Another great product, leaves my face feeling awake and refreshed as well as super clean and smooth. Great sized easy to use tube that will last.
