L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash Review

I have been using L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash for about a week now. It feels different from the usual face wash. When I massage it onto my face, it feels smooth and soft. My face used to look dull. I have noticed the difference now after using it, the impurity has gone, and my face looks brighter. I will definitely will use L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash again.

Having previously tried the L'Oreal Paris Pure Clay Mask (Detoxify & Brighten) which is the same colour mask as the Detox Wash - I had very high hopes for the product as the mask had worked wonders.

The packaging is simple and works alongside the rest of the 'Pure Clay' range. It is easy to use and the product itself is a good consistency which means it is easy to control the amount you use.

The product has a typical clay smell and is charcoal in colour, it almost turns into a slight creamy foam when mixed with water. I washed my face in small circular motions avoiding the eye area.

Once rinsed off my face felt clean and fresh but it did feel a little bit dry which was something I was worried it might do. Once moisturiser was applied my skin felt good.

After using morning and night, I didnt really notice any improvements or any change to my skin, apart from the slight dryness once rinsed off.

Its an okay product but I dont think I will reach for it again, I have a few other washes that work better for me.

I was sent this was by BR to review.

Starting from the outside in, the range has a stylish and soothing pale green and charcoal colour scheme. The wash is in a 150ml tube, which I think is a reasonable amount of product for the $20 the product costs.

The wash itself was the colour of charcoal, but with a much nicer smell. The smell is a little bit similar (I think) to their clay shampoo. And certainly much nicer smelling than most products with charcoal in them. That said, L'Oreal often adds a nice scent to their products.

The wash itself is a bit more aggressive than most cleansers I have used. While, it has the same gel consistancy as many gel cleansers. It does do what it claims and really digs in to detoxify the skin. So I would say my skin was deeply cleansed and detoxified. But for my skin, I would use a cleanser like this once to twice a week as oppose to everyday.

Want I didn't like so much about it, was that while it came across as a gel cleanser for the face to me, never once is it mentioned on the packaging that it is for the face. I think wash could easily be misinterpreted as being for the body.

I was most excited about trying this face wash as the clay mask version of this is my absolute favourite, and yes, as expected this is my favourite face wash as well from the Pure Clay collection by L’Oréal. The gel is super slimy and massages really well into your skin leaving a delicate foaming sensation behind rather than a big lather. I love that it is the color black, and i can see exactly where it's going on my face, so no missed spots. It smells exactly like the mask, which is fresh and citric. It’s quite cold when you apply it and feels sticky and smooth at the same time.

The results? Darn good. It’s the perfect thing to use after having make up on the entire day. It washes it away so well, leaving your skin not only looking fresh and bright, but also feeling fresh, smooth, and clean.

Highly recommend especially for those of us who wear a face full of make up on a daily basis.

The colour and texture of the L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Wash seemed alarming at first as it was very different from any other cleanser I've used before. It reminded me more of a face mask. Immediately after using it my skin was left feeling amazingly clean, clarified and and detoxified and has felt particularly soft and smooth since I've been using it. I do find it is drying though and you need to have a good moisturiser on hand to use afterwards.
