American Crew Men's Exfoliating Face Cleanser, Daily Clay Cleanser, 5.1 Fl Oz

I’m still getting use to this product. So far so good.

# My ReviewThis review is for American Crew ACUMEN Clay Exfoliating Cleanser Mask for Men. As first impressions go, this is a high-quality designer product with a superior blended formula that sets it apart from its “off the shelf” competition. Trying this particular brand, I can confirm that this works well and as such is positioned at a higher price point for what it does.This cleanser mask is packaged in an American Crew branded box that has a simple, yet classic look and details the ingredients, directions of use, etc. on the back and sides. Inside the box is a similarly branded 5.1 fl. oz. wide squeeze tube with the same labeling and descriptive details. The tube is relatively strong and durable with a flip-top lid to allow for the cream to be dispensed quickly & easily with the desired amount.As the product description states, this cleanser is designed and formulated with a combination of vitamins, antioxidants, and moisturizers that are known to exfoliate dead skin, remove impurities, soften, soothe, and calm. The end result is a healthier looking and glowing skin.The consistency is thick and coarse which contains some small beads to create some friction to lift and exfoliate dead skin. Don’t expect this to foam up, it’s a clay-based cream that’s supposed to be applied and left on to dry. Applying the cleanser doesn’t feel abrasive, but has a nice feeling as it’s rubbed in and a slight cooling sensation as it dries. The cleanser tightens up and feels like it’s doing something! A small amount is sufficient enough to spread evenly. Once it’s left on for some time, it washes off easily and doesn’t feel over dry at the end. Once off, it leaves a clean, exfoliated and smooth looking skin that’s glowing after it’s moisturized.Overall, this is a good face cleansing mask for all types of skin. A small amount goes along way and it feels just right on the skin. I can recommend this.** Thanks for reading my review!

I got this for my husband as I have gotten him into skincare products and since I have a few masks myself I thought of getting him one that was meant for him and only him to use. To start the packaging does come across nice and tasteful for a man almost like this would be something you could purchase at a Bath and Body as apart of a line that included the face wash and lotion. When using this we did use this in conjunction to steaming his face along with washing and toning his face prior to applying this mask. He did mention upon application that the product did feel cooling, slightly heavy and did have a little of a tingling sensation to it. However once on for a few mins the tingling started to disapate and the mask did not harden to a clay once dry but was easy to wash off afterwards. There wasnt an unpleasent scent from in and in fact I dont remember there being a scent during application or once he was done. The clay comes out as a white thick cream and I didnt have to use much in order to apply an even coverage. Once he cleaned the mask off he did apply toner and moisturizer just before bed and stated that his face felt softer and very moisturized. Overall I will say this was a win if he is willing to continue to try the product and keep it. I think this would make a great gift to any man as they dont always have a way of pampering themselves and this kinda helps them to feel good about themselves.

This is a great cleanser, which I like using. I use a facial scrub at least 3 times a week with my current preferred cleanser being Nivea Mens facial scrub. The formula has changed slightly over the years (no more micro beads) but I've generally been happy with it. SO how does this compare my old go-to cleanser?* Grit. There is a definite grit to this though it isn't super aggressive like my wife's St. Ives. This feels about right for a daily cleanser though I would probably alternate with a non-gritty wash like a Cetaphil.* Texture. Out of the bottle this has a consistency like soft toothpaste. White and pasty. Definitely different from my usual cleansers.* Scent. Smells like clay - very much like those clay bars you use to detail a car. Odd.* Clean feeling. Very nice; I do like the way my face feels after using this scrub. Clean, fresh but not raw.In summary, I really do like this cleanser. The scent is definitely different but my face feels great after using this. American Crew has been my go to hair product for years, from Pomade to Fiber and now cream. They make great stuff in my opinion and this is not different. But this stuff isn't cheap and truthfully I'm just not sure if it's worth the premium that AC is asking for it.
