Charcoal

Activated Charcoal has a highly porous structure that acts like a magnet on the skin, attracting and absorbing excess sebum, dirt, pollution particles and toxins from the surface and within the pore. It is one of the most effective ingredients for deep cleansing, working to decongest blocked pores and leave skin feeling genuinely clean and refreshed rather than just surface level clean.

It is particularly effective for oily skin and combination skin types, helping to minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and reduce the congestion that leads to blackheads and breakouts. Unlike some harsh cleansing ingredients, Activated Charcoal draws out impurities without stripping the skin of its natural oils when used as part of a balanced routine.

Skin Republic's Charcoal skincare range includes sheet masks and peel off treatments that make deep cleansing an enjoyable part of your weekly self care routine. Used once or twice a week, they help to keep skin clear, balanced and refreshed between washes, working as a reset for congested or sluggish skin.

Follow your Charcoal treatment with a lightweight Hyaluronic Acid serum or moisturiser to replenish the skin after cleansing. Charcoal pairs well with Salicylic Acid for enhanced pore clearing results, or with Niacinamide to help regulate sebum and reduce the appearance of pores over time.
