I purchased this when I went into Lush and my normal cleanser was out of stock. This cleanser is pretty intense! The colour for starters can stain bathroom sinks if not washed down properly (make sure the skin is cleared after use). I found that this worked best when used occasionally, one a week, when I felt like I need a deep cleanse. I definitely would not recommend using this for a daily cleanser!

Lush Dark Angels Review
Lush Dark Angels Deep, dark, cleanser for young, dark and oily skin. A black, squidgy scrub with charcoal to absorb oils and exfoliate your skin. Nutritious avocado oil softens, glycerine keeps the moisture in and black sugar softly scrubs; rhassoul mud is anti-microbial and cleanses deeply, while sandalwood and rosewood essential oils are soothing, giving you a feeling of smooth, clean freshness that is difficult to beat. Just remember to wash it off properly and clean the wash basin after you.
Reviews
Tips: Use occasionally.
If you suffer from oily skin, Dark Angels is a must have and it won't leave you feeling like a dried up prune afterwards. It's exfoliating and deep cleansing, and will leave your face feeling super soft afterwards, as do most LUSH cleansers!
Tips: Take the pot in the shower with you as it can make a bit of a mess and will save you from cleaning your bathroom sink every time you use it.
After borrowing this from my friend and seeing how it made my skin look so fresh, bright and clean I knew I wanted to get some for myself! Instead of using this as a daily cleanser I use it once a week as an exfoliater and much prefer to use it this way! It honestly gives your skin a lovely glow and fresh look and I’m sure helped to calm down some of my pimples. It can stain your skin which has happened to me once, but since then I tried to take my time with rinsing it off making sure it really wasn’t there and I think the trick is to not rush the rinse off. I would definitely reccomend this to most skin types as a once a week exfoliater rather than daily cleanse as that’s how I’m using it and seeing great results!
Tips: It gets messy and take your time with it!
This charcoal face scrub for sure helps stubborn and pimple prone skin. I personally found it a little too abrasive as I brought it intended as a daily face scrub and used it that way for a while, but decided it was more of a once a week exfoliator. The black charcoal can be very stubborn to rinse off, so I would used a moisturiser after and it seemed to help get the colour off my face after use. I also found it quite drying so would definitely need to pair this with a good facial moisturiser. I love all of the lush cleansers because they all last a very long time, so they are very good value for money.
Tips: To ensure you get good value for money, use as directed (small pinch). Its all you need most of the time :)
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.
Tips: Not a daily cleanser for most skin types
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.
Tips: Follow up with a heavy duty moisturiser for super supple skin.
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 :)
Tips: only use a tiny bit and mix with water, i find it easiest to use in the shower as its quite messy
This product is the best product of all products in a lush store for oily to combination skin. For me, I have acne prone - sensitive - combination. and this stuff worked miracles for my skin! From day one, this stuff was easy to use and had a great consistency to it. It wasn't abrasive to the skin, more so gently exfoliating . It smells nice, like it looks like. Its strong so when you apply it, it feels like its doing something to your face, "its doing it's job." Thanks to this product my skin was brighter and glowing he acne scarring cleared right up halfway through using this product.
I have extremely oil skin, huge pores and just lifeless skin. I applied this for the first time on my face, wet my hand and then scrubbed it quite hard. After removing my skin just had life, it was glowing, smooth and felt so clean! My pores also shrunk in size. I know it says to use this 3 times a week or so, but I use it once a day due to how oily my skin gets and it does not dry it out at all!
Wow, this stuff is extreme! It's so black, I was really surprised when I opened the container. I found it a bit too strong for me in terms of the exfoliation. I also really didn't like the black; it was just messy! I found the smell a bit off putting as well, it's a strange smell that is quite strong. Overall, I wouldn't buy it and I wouldn't recommend it.
