Desperate for a solution, I turned my face into a testing ground for numerous soaps and spot treatments. It was only after discovering the Carbon Theory Charcoal & Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleansing Bar that my great skincare experiment came to a close. To buy: $10 (was $13); amazon.com Charcoal is a superstar skincare ingredient, commonly used in products to help rid the skin of excess oil and debris. In the case of the Carbon Theory Bar, charcoal is featured alongside tea tree oil, which works together to rid your pores of dirt and debri without causing excess inflammation. Thanks to the addition of shea butter, your skin also receives some added moisture. For the last two years, I have relied on the Carbon Theory Bar for my nightly cleanse. In that time, I have experienced far fewer breakouts and noticed a reduction in the size and redness of my pimples. I still get acne, but I found that while using this soap, my blemishes did not feel as painful and usually cleared up quite faster. It’s suggested that you use the bar for your morning and nightly cleanse. You need only apply warm water to the bar to create a lather. From there, you gently massage the soap into your skin for 30 seconds.
