I don't remember why I bought this, but I did, a couple years ago. I used almost the entire bottle, and from what I remember of it, it was an alright cleanser. It's true that it warms up, and that's kind of a nice feeling, but the warmth vanishes in a matter of seconds. But the one thing I remember most is the cleanser having a mild gritty feeling to it, which I'm sure is great for exfoliation. However, it used to leave a dusty-feeling residue on my hairline, which I did not like very much, though it wasn't too terrible. Overall, this cleanser's alright. I actually just wash my face with plain water everyday and I've stopped using cleansers alltogether, so I won't be repurchasing anything.

Admittedly, this cleanser doesn't seem to stand up to it's claims that it fights blackheads. My blackheads are still exactly the same as they were. However this isn't a terrible cleanser. The warming sensation is very relaxing and much more dramatic than I initially expected (I actually jumped when I first put it on my face I was so surprised). I also really love the size of the exfoliating beads in it. It's mild enough for every day but enough where you feel like it's doing something.

Will I buy this again? Probably not. But I don't feel as though this purchase was a complete waste of money. For the price it's not too bad.

Ok, this product does not get rid of blackheads. It's goopy and the warming aspect of it doesn't even last long enough to have any effect. I'm pretty sure it made my blackheads worse.

What a waste of money. The warming was neat but only lasted for a few seconds, barely enough time for me to cover 1/3 of my face. It wasn't particularly good at removing makeup or minimizing pores, either. Definitely would not repurchase.

The warming sensation was amusing, but overall it didn't do anything for my skin at all. The actual consistency felt way too thick and didn't really even feel like it cleaning my face.

I'm not sure if the "warming" does anything for the skin. When you massage the cream into the skin, it takes a few seconds to feel the heat and it only lasts about 20 seconds before it wears off. Honestly, it doesn't clean off any dirt or oil on the skin completely and doesn't leave you with a complete clean feeling either. I use to use it with toner afterwards, and I could still see make up and residue on my cotton ball. I agree with others that the cream feels muddy and thick. For almost the same price, I think St. Ive's Apricot scrub has a better noticeable effect.

Not great! Yes, it warms, but its thick and gluggy, kind of feels like a claim mask. Skin does not feel clean afterwards. Does notthing for backheads either.

Okay, I don't think Biore makes this anymore. But I just have to write what I think about this :) It's a basic cleanser with no special ingredients to fight acne and clogged pores. But it does not cause any breakouts to my skin. My skin is now pretty clear, thanks for benzoyl peroxide and AHA toner. I'll probably purchase this cleanser again if I can, but too bad it's discontinued.

This was just an ok cleanser. It didn't irritate my sensitive skin but it didn't really help it either. I did like the way it warmed up though.

Oddly enough, this is about the only cleanser I've tried that hasn't caused my skin to start drying and flaking, then breaking out as it frantically tries to produce more oil. It could be because this isn't a foaming cleanser, or because there seem to be very fine clay grains in the goop that exfoliate enough to render regular exfoliation unneccessary.

This really doesn't work. My blackheads have not disappeared, my skin did not feel good afterwards. It just felt a bit tight and dry not what you want you're skin to feel like. Horrible drug store product.

I got a sample size of this product when I bought the pore scrub that Biore also makes. I was very excited to try this product. Although at first glance this product may look sticky and filmy, when I applied it to my face, it felt fine and smooth. I think that when the other reviewers say that the warmth didn't last, they must've all started out with hot water to begin with. When I used ice cold water (heater was broken) with this product, the warming stayed a lot longer than when I used my hot shower water. I don't get blackheads (hallelujah), but because this product has salycidic acid, it helped with clear some of my other acne. Overall I liked this and would buy it again.

The much-touted "warming" sensation doesn't last long at all. Even more disappointing, it doesn't seem to have done anything for my pores.

Although I love the way this feels warming up on my face, I don't think this ever did anything good for my skin. If anything, I think this dried my skin out. Plus, the consistency is rather gluey and slimy. I think this stuff is pure novelty and not serious skin care although its fun to use every one in awhile.

I had a great experience with this cleanser! I can't use it now since I can't get it here but when I was in the States it saved my 25 year old, large pored, congested skin. I never got a waxy feeling from it. Didn't dry me out, no break outs either.

I like this stuff. It's not great, but it's good. Frankly, I think it works as well as any other cleanser and/or scrub that I've used. I like the feeling of the warmth, but I wish it would last a bit longer. I don't think it's drying at all. It has not made me break out. I like it. A (kind of) funny side note - my husband tried it and didn't know it would get warm. When he put it on his hands and rubbed them together, the heat freaked him out so much that he rinsed the stuff of because he thought there was something wrong with it. Then he looked at the tube and saw that it was supposed to heat up.
