Charcoal face cleansers?

Anyone use one? I was using one from a company that has reformulated 🤨
It was great because it came in a small pot and had more of a paste texture that you could emulsify. It was fantastic as it removed all make up and deep cleansed really easily but didn't strip my sensitive skin at all. Any ideas?

I had a terrible breakout last year and used a charcoal soap from Carbon Theory which I really liked. It was gentle on my skin and my breakout did eventually clear up.

I second carbon theory. I use the bar and lather it up in my hands first before putting in my face.

Also nip and fab do a charcoal range that I really like, but the cleanser is gel so not sure you will like that. I use the gel cleanser, cleansing pads and then serum all in that range and it's lovely.

Ahhh this looks fantastic, thanks for the recommendation both! I like that it's a bar, I travel a lot so can just shave a slice off. Does it dissolve makeup easily with no need for a double cleanse?

I found it worked really well on make-up. I also use their facial sun cream which is brilliant. Nice and light without feeling greasy.

@LordLetMeGlow 🤣🤣 is that for the carbon theory one?! They do a body soap too which I accidentally bought instead of the face soap last time- i still use it on my face and it's been fine. I find it does dissolve make up very well and leaves your skin with that 'squeaky' feeling

Hmm. As good as sugar soap 😳
Origins charcoal mask is great. They have a charcoal and honey one, too.
