XBC Cleansing Charcoal Face Scrub Review

xbc cleansing charcoal face scrub

I’ve been using this face scrub for a few weeks now so I thought it was time to share my review on it.

I got this particular face scrub because I wanted to try a face scrub with charcoal.

So when I got to the cosmetic shop and I saw this one, I was very happy, also because it is paraben free and sulfate free.

xpel body care

It is actually not what I thought it would be. Before I started using it, I thought the scrub was going to be as black as charcoal but that is so not what it is.

It looks kind of white with black and brown granules in it. It has a really sweet smell and once it is opened, it can last for 24 months.

Product description

This is what xpel marketing says about their product:

XBC cleansing charcoal facial scrub has been specially formulated using activated charcoal and walnut kernel to gently cleanse, exfoliate and stimulate your skin by helping to remove excess oil and dead skin cells to reveal a healthier, fresher looking complexion.

Ingredients

Aqua, Stearic acid, Kaolin, Cetearyl alcohol, paraffinum liquidium, Proptlene glycol, Ceteareth-20, Juglans regia (walnut) shell extract, parfum, charcoal powder, DMDH hydantoin, Triethanolamine

charcoal face scrub, paraben free, sulfate free

My experience with XBC cleansing charcoal face scrub

Although xbc cleansing charcoal face scrub isn’t what I thought it was, I actually love it. I apply it on my face for ten minutes before I take my bath and I love how my face feels after I wash it.

I’m mostly in makeup and when I dont use this, I get some break outs but when I use this continuously, it clears my face and I dont get any breakouts.

Although, it works great I dont think I will repurchase it again because I still want to try a face mask with charcoal, I mean the type that is really black and that’s what I’m getting after this one.

Have you tried any product from xbc charcoal range?

    Charcoal Scrubs and masks always brings out tons of bumps, but after they bumps go away my skin feels like a baby butt. I would love to try this product, I know my skin would love it.

        I got the scrub already, is it best to use in the morning or at night?
        And is daily use advisable?

      If your face is breaking out after using a product, I will suggest you stop using the product immediately. And get something to treat the rash. Sometimes, you may be allergic to an ingredient in the product.
