My face is *very* oily in some spots, and combination in others. I thought coalface would be just the thing I needed. Wrong! It left my skin tight and dry dry dry. My skin felt pretty much like...

LUSH's "Coal Face" is a drill sergeant, those who are looking for facial cleanser with a lack of tolerance and patience will find what they are looking for in Coal face. This soap is a very unique...

Coal face is quite stripping. I can feel granules on my face when washing (perhaps coal bits?) which are likely more abrasive than should be used on such delicate skin. Reminds me of the soap...

Feh. My skin is oilier after consistent use. It doesn't hurt my skin, but it doesn't make it better. (Have oily, acne-prone skin). I do like the scent, and I like the foolproofness. Plus I got...

I *do* like this stuff and the price is good for a quality cleanser. Idiot-proof, too: it's just soap and you wash your face with it, no faffing about with cotton wool or cloths or anything.......

This is one of my HG cleansers...I have to alternate with something more abrasive for flakes every so often, but this leaves my skin so clean, tight and seems to really clear out my pores. I have...

Didn't do much for me. Fresh Farmacy works much better for me for breakouts. Just dried my skin out and was creepy and black in my shower.

This soap was not drying enough for me. It still left my face feeling oily after I used it and didn't give me a squeaky feeling at all. Made me break out and smells weird.

I find this to be too harsh on my face but I love it as a handsoap! Exfoliates and leaves your hands nice and clean. Great way to get boys to wash up.
