I've used it with my clarisonic and have had no issues.

Yes! I've been using the product with my aria as well and results have been great.

yes, i have used this with the original clarisonic (sometimes with the deep cleansing brush) since 2012. it does not irritate your skin. also, i've noticed that i use much less product when using the clarisonic.

Yes, I use it with the Clarisonic, and it works best that way!

I did originally use it with my Clarisonic. It will turn the brush slightly grey, though.

I had a couple of pimples pop up the first few times I used this, but I stuck with it and within a week and a half my face was clear. So I do think it is just cleaning out your face!

i did not experience any breakouts. i have very sensitive but oily skin. depending upon the kind of pimples you got, it may have had a cleansing effect & brought them to the surface of your skin (though nobody likes that!).

This cleanser is for detoxing and pulls everything out of your skin, some people experience break outs and that's normal.

Yes, this is black clay based, it will pull impurities out of your skin, but with any good cleanser it will make you break out in the process of healing your skin. You should only be worried if you have started a regimen (because our skin loves a regimen!) and the break-outs don't get better, or do get better, but come back a few weeks later worse. Also remember many break-outs are your body telling you something, you would be surprised at how much break-outs are due to food allergies such as milk. The forehead is the "wine and dine" area of your forehead, if you have constant little bumps on your forehead, there is a good chance you have a food allergy to something. Good luck!

Of course the brands recommend that, because you'll be giving them more money! But honestly, I think you need to follow how your face and skin feel. If you feel that you aren't getting the results you want from just the cleanser, or just the mask, and you have the means to test out the whole line, by all means, do so. Often the items are complementary and smell similarly. But I don't think there's any "magic" to it though. I just splurged on the Boscia Black cleanser, but I'm not going to buy their whole line, because I'm already happy with another moisturizer-sunscreen I use.

This is the only product I use from this line and I still feel I receive the full benefits from this cleanser. I've had fewer breakouts since using it and my pore size has noticeably shrunk. I wanted something that would improve my complexion and tone without drying out my face and this product has done all of those things without the aid of other items from the product line. I definitely feel this an affective cleanser/ stand alone product.

no, you can mix and match products. but most lines are made with ingredients that compliment each other. so just be aware of the combination of products you use or you could stir up all kinds of unimaginable drama with your skin.

when i started using the line, i continued to use epicuren moisturizer (until i ran out & could not find it in my area). i didn't experience any adverse effects. in fact, about 6 months after i started using boscia, i purchased their eye cream because i was so happy with the other products. good luck!

Don't ever put yourself down by thinking something is a dumb question, it's a great question. I love this product and one of the best things about it is that you can or cannot use the other products that go with this line. Things that are annoying about Murad, Clinique, or Proactive is that you DO have to use the whole line. Bosia is not like that at all. You may break out after using this cleanser for the first few days but do not give up or get discouraged, it is just really amazing about pulling out all of the impurities in your face. Give it a week or so and you will have the best skin you've ever had! Hope this helped!

I did not find this to be drying or irritating.

This product will not dry out your skin. Gels do tend to dry out skin, so be careful with the gels if you are normally dry skinned.

I have the same problem. In the winter, the purifying gel is too much for me.
I also have sensitive/acne-prone skin.
I've been using the black cleanser for about a week and it's noticeably not as drying as the purifying gel. I can't say that it's been helping to prevent acne, but my skin certainly feels as clean as when I normally use the purifying gel during the summer.
Then again, it could be different from person to person.

We recommend using one cleanser at a time. We suggest using one in the morning and one at night.

I would recommend something with a salycilic acid in it. Great for using on oily-ish skin and won't be drying. Will help with breakouts too.

It's actually best to use one cleanser in the morning and one at night. I use either boscia's purifying gel or clear complexion cleanser in the morning and the black cleanser at night!

I've been hearing most people with sensitive oily skin broke out from using it. Keep in mind that if you have oily skin you want to use products that are oil free and non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. Do not use any products containing any sort of oil in it. your oil glands produces enough oil to lubricate your skin.
An antiseptic like Tea Tree Oil will help decongest congested pores and help with your break outs. I recommend trying Kate Somerville's Detox Daily Cleanser it contains Tea Tree oil to decongest congested pores and help with break outs. Give it a try!

I had no luck with Murad....switched to boscia and am in love!

This cleanser contains glycolic acid, which can inactivate retinol due to its low pH. It's hard to say whether or not the concentration of glycolic acid in this product would interfere with the retinol, since the concentration of glycolic acid isn't posted. However, given how expensive retinol can be, I wouldn't risk it. I use retinol nightly, except twice a week when I use a glycolic/lactic/salicylic acid peel, and I only use this cleanser on the peel nights.

Cheers!

I think it would be a bit too drying to use along with Accutane micro. It was drying on my skin (a former accutane patient and combo skin girl), so I would say you're better trying another product. One that I love is Fresh's Soy cleanser; it's cleansing without drying, irritating, or throwing off my pH balance.

I have been using this, in addition to the Purifying cleanser (alternate them) for a little over a month. My blackheads are not completely gone, but I have far less than before I started using this. I've always been told it can take several weeks to see complete results when changing your skincare regimen.

I'm not sure if it removes blackheads, as I don't have those. But I am firm believer that once they're gone, this face wash will
ensure it doesn't come back! My whiteheads and ruddish red zits haven't come back! I suggest trying Boscia's Pore Purifying
Strips to remove the blackheads. Then use this wash to make sure they don't come back. Hope that helps!

I have used all three cleansers. The Clear Complexion Cleanser was too much for my skin. The Purifying Cleansing Gel was my favorite - it did keep the oil to a minimum, but I was still having occasional breakouts. I got a sample of the Black Cleanser over a month ago and loved it so much that I bought it - Detoxifying Black is my new favorite! My skin has never looked so clear and healthy! I still use a makeup remover at night, as this didn't completely remove everything. Also, I alternate with the Purifying Cleansing Gel at times, usually in the morning, provided I did not wear make up the night before. Being winter, the heat alone usually dries my skin out. I was pleasantly surprised to not have any dryness! The hydration my skin now has is amazing!

I have combination skin right now (in the winter), but my skin is normally oily. However, with all the acne breakouts my skin can get dry in those areas from using acne spot treatments.

This cleanser did NOT make my face feel dry at all. The warming effect is soothing and feels wonderful. After you wash it off your face feels clean, not dry. Of course you should apply a moisturizer when you're done applying all your skincare serums, but in general, no this did not dry out my skin.

Go for it, I've been using this cleanser with my clairisonic every night and I have seen MAJOR improvements in my skin

I have used my Clarisonic with both the Purifying Cleansing gel and the Detoxifying Black Cleansers. I have tried several cleaners and found that the boscia cleansers work wonders with my clarisonic. Some of the other popular brands either don't clean deep enough or they dry out my skin.
