The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Skin Clarifying Night Peel, Vegan, Taupe

As an older, disabled male I'm most likely not the target population for The Body Shop products. However, once I started trying them and found that they worked well with my always unpredictable skin I became sold and repeatedly turn to The Body Shop for my skincare regimen needs.This latest product, a Himalayan Charcoal Skin Clarifying Night Peel, is yet another winner from The Body Shop. This relatively small 1-fluid ounce bottle arrived nicely packed. The amber bottle has a dropper as usage only requires 2-3 drops per use. It's recommended for use no more than 3 nights weekly. You smooth the charcoal-like substance into the skin. It clears into a more clear liquid and you wash it off the next morning.The end result is smoother, more clarified skin that looks more evenly textured. This is particularly important to me as I've historically had issues with a really uneven skin tone. I find this product very effective without triggering my sensitive skin. I'm often hit-and-miss with charcoal type products, however, I'm finding this one effective.This does have a relatively strong scent to it. If you're particularly sensitive to scents, especially at night when you're sleeping, be aware that this one is pretty strong but does fade fairly nicely.I will say that I'm fairly new to the idea of overnight products. I like this one and will easily keep using it. The price point is a bit higher, however, The Body Shop does a lot of things I love in terms of social responsibility and I find them easy to support. Also, this product takes so little to use to be effective that even a small bottle will last for a while.I will also note that the peel doesn't leave any sort of film or residue. It's easy to sleep without getting anything on sheets or pillowcases.Overall, I'm pleased with this product from The Body Shop and am finding it leaves my skin looking clearer, smoother, more evenly toned, and looking refreshed when I wash it off in the morning. This is definitely a winner for me.

This is a mask but not in the traditional sense. It's a gel feel that goes over your skin and dries in. Pop off to sleep and in the morning wash/cleanse etc. You will definitely feel fresher and your skin will definitely become more improved in appearance the more you use it.

A good overnight clarifying agent that gets deep inside those pores and gradually works to clean them out. That's all that this does, so don't expect anything else like moisturization or other possible expectations. But sometimes a good, thorough cleaning is all you really need. This is slow acting which is why you need a good night's worth of hours to efficiently work.Once you apply this to your skin, you can feel that you've applied a thin layer of film. It will dry, so you won't be messing up your pillowcases. Doesn't really dry out the skin, though it does help to control excess sebum production. I find that it sometimes does make the skin feel a bit tighter while it's on the face. It feels a little bit like a facial serum used after cleansing except that it does not moisturize or firm up your skin. This has a different job and it does that job well.After you cleanse your face in the morning, that's when you'll start noticing the difference. The skin feels clean and it looks better. Of course, repeated and continued use will give you even better results.Clean and gentle on the skin and will probably be fine for most with sensitive skin, though they might need to limit use to maybe once per week. They'll just have to experiment and see what works best for them. Maybe use along the nose only. For everyone else, this seems best for those with oily to normal skin. Works well on my combination skin.

Bought this item few weeks ago for my acne and let me tell you it’s so good amazing! Really helps calm down acne would recommend this for oily acne or combination skin.I use it everyday

Product useless. There are no effects after using it three times, it leaves a sticky film on the skin and black pore fillings (some of those that are usually yellow. They need to be squeezed out). It doesn't soothe, it might irritate the skin, and it makes it look damaged. Compared to other products like La Roche-Posay Night Dialu Peel, this Himalayan Charcoal product is simply a waste of money.
