    Not for oily skin

    I have been using this product for months and must say that either my skincare routine is a failure or this product is not for oily skin.

    My inexperienced thought was that this oil-free deep cleansing cleanser would be great for my oily skin but unfortunately it just isn't for me. I don't feel like it has helped reduced the excess oils shining on my forehead (a dermalogica consultant told me that my skin is not excessively oily).

    I do love how the exfoliating component is so smooth on your skin and when first used it made my skin feel real fresh. No strong smell over powering the bathroom upon use.

    Love!

    I love love love all of Biore's range and this one is one of my favourites along with the charcoal cleanser. It smells super pretty and work hard on the skin to clear all the gunk and yuck out of it. It has a minty kind of sensation so it feels like it getting deep down to the pores to clean it out which is great for my acne prone skin.

    Not for sensitive skin

    This cleanser really triggered my sensitive skin. It had quite an unpleasant tingling sensation while on. It does work hard to remove dirt, oil and other impurities but I found it too harsh on the skin, completely stripping it. After washes my face would feel tight and dry. The exfoliating beads feel nice, and I also enjoyed the fresh, citrus scent. No complaints about the packaging or price either. Overall I think it's an average cleanser but I haven't been reaching for it after a couple of uses. As the review mentioned you could re-purpose this as a body wash for bacne. I think it would cleanse the back well.

    Not a favourite!

    I had high hopes for this cleanser and I usually enjoy Biore products. I can't say I loved this one.

    This advertises to be a gentle skin cleanser made with baking soda to purify the skin. I didn't find this product to be gentle on my face at all! I only used this on my face for about a week because the redness on my face was unbearable and I don't even have sensitive skin! My cheeks especially, were so red and dry after every use of this product that even my usual moisturiser couldnt calm my skin.

    I did enjoy the light scent of this product as it smells clean and fresh and even the feel is satisfying. It contains very tiny microbeads to exfoliate. Although I can't recommend this as a facial cleanser, I have been using the remainder of my bottle as an exfoliating cleanser on my shoulders and upper back. For this purpose I do like the product, it is a nice gentle purifying cleanser on these areas of the body but was just too harsh for my face.

    Any Tips?: 
    Be gentle!
    Good on bacne
    Ideal For...: 
    Perhaps very oily skin would benefit from this product

    Good, cheap cleanser.

    This is my backup cleanser for when I run out of my usual cleansers (I have a couple of on rotation), or for when my skin is breaking out. It's got a nice clean scent, and it cleans my face well without leaving it dry and cracking. I use it in the mornings in the shower to wake myself up. I find that after a couple of days of using it, my breakouts become less inflamed and disappear more quickly. This is also a very good cleanser for make up removal. And occasionally, I also use it as a body wash. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean.

    Any Tips?: 
    Good as a body wash too!
    Ideal For...: 
    Normal skin, combination skin, skin that is slightly prone to breakouts.

    Amazing Face Cleanser!!!

    I picked a couple of bottles of this cleanser up during Priceline skincare sale, not knowing that it will become my HG cleanser. I knew baking soda is great for cleaning the pores but never got myself to take it out of my kitchen cabinet to use it. When I saw this cleanser, I thought of picking it up as the price was great and I do not have to think about making a DIY baking soda paste.

    After the first wash, my face felt clean but I did not notice much difference other than the clean feeling. After a week, I noticed that my deep-rooted blackheads had started coming to the surface which really made me feel that this stuff was working. Within 2 weeks time, I felt my skin was less congested and was clearing up. I have been using it ever since, though I reduced its usage to once a day (night time only) instead of twice and use a different cleanser for the morning as I felt using it twice a day was drying out my skin.

    Any Tips?: 
    I recommend using it once a day (preferably at night) and use a different cleanser in the morning as using it twice daily dried out my skin
    Ideal For...: 
    Acne-prone and congested skin or anyone who wants to keep their pores clean

    I love this cleanser!

    I had been using a charcoal scrub for a few months when Biore introduced their charcoal cleanser, I needed a break for scrubbing every day but found the charcoal cleanser caused me to break out a little bit.

    I love Biore products so when this came out I couldn't wait to try it, the same Biore cleaning power but a little more gentle on the skin.

    It has been a great cleanser, my skin always feels really clean when I use this, it removers makeup like a dream and takes away any excess oil without drying my skin out.

    I am currently on a cleanser prescribed from a dermatologist but i use this in-between when I need something less harsh or need to quickly remove my makeup before bed after a long day at work or a girls night out.

    If you suffer from small breakouts and black heads this is a great cleanser.

    Any Tips?: 
    Simply wash your face, apply the cleanser and rinse! Easy peasy. I prefer to use this product in the shower as it seems to work better when your pores are a little more open.
    Ideal For...: 
    Any one with combination skin that finds the typical break out prevention cleansers too harsh on their skin.

    Love this cleanser

    This cleanser is a lot similar to the Biore Charcoal Cleanser! I had used the Biore Charcoal Cleanser since it had come out to about late last year. It worked a charm for me, left me skin soft, cleansed and what I loved most about it was the feeling of it on your skin!. After a long period of using it, I realised it was too drying for my skin, so I changed my cleanser to the Cetaphil gentle cleanser! Once Biore released another cleanser but for people with dry/combination, I knew I had to test it out! This Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser is an amazing holy grail skincare product of mine! It's very soft on the skin and leaves it soft, extremely cleansed and definitely isn't drying! I have also told my niece who has trouble skin to test this out and the effect so far is very good, her acne is slowly clearing up! The smell of this cleanser is very nice and somewhat unique, but its unique in a good way! Highly recommend for people with dry skin who are looking for an amazing cleanser!

    Ideal For...: 
    people with dry skin who are looking for an amazing cleanser and people with acne
