Has anyone tried Beekman Charcoal Scrub??

 I was wondering if anyone had tried Beekmans Charcoal scrub, and if really deep cleans pores??  I read some reviews, and many love how nice their skin felt, but nothing about deep pore cleansing.  Although I use and like PTR Glycolic cleanser, and either his pumpkin mask, or Andalou mask, I don't think they clean out pores too well.  So since I really, really like Beekmans products, I'd love to hear your opinions on this one....Thanks!!

Well I don't know how to define "deep cleansing" or how to measure it but I used Beekman charcoal scrub yesterday and my skin is super soft and looks great. I love that product.

@Dazlin have you ever tried a BHA product? BHA's are much better at actually cleaning pores out than AHAs, which is what you are using with the Glycolic cleanser. AHAs don't really penetrate deep enough into pores to keep them clear of gunk (sebum, dirt, oil, etc). BHAs are also much better than physical scrubs in deeply cleaning pores.

I agree with HappyDaze -- BHA.  I use Paula Choice BHA and her AHA.  I alternate day and night.

Is BHA a salicylic acid?
