Quick Review: DHC Purifying Charcoal Shower Gel

Here is another quick review of DHC

 

Initial Thoughts: Clear with black tint, it reminds me of smoked glass. Like the green tea shower gel, this one is thick like honey. Good rich lather, not many bubbles but feels nice on skin and washes clean.  Hard to describe scent, it is somewhat herbal, but I honestly cannot determine what makes up the scent. It left my skin a bit dry, but that is normal for me for clear shower gels.  It also makes sense as charcoal has clarifying properties and not moisturizing.  

Quick Review: DHC Imperial Green Tea Shower Gel

Today is a sample from the Japanese brand DHC.  They are becoming more and more popular over here in the US especially in Asian markets and you can also find them online.  I am a long time fan of their products, but this is the first time I have tried one of their body washes.

 

Initial Thoughts: Very thick, reminded me of honey in color and thickness. This was nice as it could not wash away in shower before lathered. Made a rich fine lather, it didn't have many large bubbles, but it still felt rich and nice on the skin.  It also easily washes clean. Skin felt a little dry after shower, but I find this fairly common with clear body gels vs creamy ones with moisturizers in them. Didn't smell distinctly of green tea, but has a fresh herby scent that is hard to describe.
