Purity Organic Skincare Facial Exfoliator Deep Pore Cleanser Review

Hello there my dearies! Hope all is well with you (^__^) Today I have a review for you from a brand I have previously featured on my blog - Purity Organic Skincare. I've already reviewed their facial wash and their (AMAZING) makeup remover, but today's post is about their facial exfoliator/deep pore cleanser* :o)

Purity Organic Skincare Facial Exfoliator Deep Pore Cleanser

I'm going to make this post short and snappy and to the point.

Ingredient-wise, this contains the same kind of natural ingredients as the rest of them do: coconut oil, sweet almond oil, glycerine and aloe vera. It also contains ground coconut shell to exfoliate.

Texture wise, it's basically a lotion with really small ground up pieces of coconut shell. You can barely feel the shell pieces imo, and it does not lather up.

Now I know this is called an exfoliator, but this barely did any exfoliating at all. It wasn't rough enough, most likely because as I mentioned earlier, it didn't have enough ground coconut shell. However, it is also called a deep pore cleanser.. and boy did it live up to that part of its name!

In fact so much so that I think it did it's job too well on my skin. Now my skin is combination, with an oily T-zone. This was so strong that it dried out my t zone to the point of it being painful! I know that's hard to believe but it practically sucked out all the moisture/oils on my nose and upper lip (that was the painful part :/).

Now I'm sure that if you have oilier skin than mine, and that if you used it for under a minute or so once a week, this will be all right for your skin. But if you have combination or dry skin - I'd advise you to stay WELL away from this xD

That's all I really have to say on this; I don't really like to write bad reviews unless I feel it would be beneficial - I mean I would like to know if it suited my skin type first if I was using something new for the first time/thinking of buying something new!

You can purchase this from Holland & Barretts or their own website for £5.99. Has anyone else tried this? What are your thoughts on this exfoliator/deep pore cleanser?

  1. I find it's so gentle yet it did really do the trick. I did feel exfoliated though my skin isn't that bad and I use a flannel at the same time. I have combination skin and haven't had a problem. It's a little drying but moisturiser after soon fixes it! :)

    1. Hmm, maybe I left it on too long? My combination skin is kinda extreme, my cheeks are well dry and my t zone is quite oily! Guess this just didn't agree with my skin - and I guess I'm just used to and prefer rougher exfoliators! :)

      Thanks for commenting (^__^)

  2. This was a great review :) I haven't actually tried ny of the purity products yet but a lot people seem to like them. Though I'd probably not get this if it completely dries out your skin! :(

  3. Sorry I didn't catch it, why should people with combination skin stay away from this?
