Carbon Theory - The Magic Cleansing Bar

Updated: Jun 19, 2019

When I worked in Boots, I used to love opening the delivery boxes in the morning and finding new products that I could try out, especially anything to do with getting rid of bastard blackheads. When I started seeing these strange soaps appearing in the daily deliveries, I just had to Google them to see exactly what they were and where they'd come from, it's not your average pack of soap!


The company Carbon Theory are a brand that use natural ingredients such as charcoal and tea tree oil combined to transform oily and blemish-prone skin to a fresh, glowing face. They currently have 5 products available and I can't wait to try them all out, they all focus on the category of 'Clean & Cleanse' which is exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to my oily t-zone.


Before buying anything new, I always check out the reviews which I began to see pop up all over my Instagram and also Facebook adverts once I'd Googled the brand themselves (our phones are listening to us, hush hush). All of which were positive reviews with amazing results from a variety of people with many different skin types, it seemed too good to be true but once I'd seen the transformation pictures from many users, I couldn't believe my eyes! Below are the images of one transformation that I found jaw dropping, and only received these results within a 3 week time period!

The magic bar has had such an amazing break through in the world of spot treatment, everyone is going crazy for it, but what makes it stand out from the crowd of the hundreds and thousands of spot treatments already out there? On the website, they describe the product in detail:

Our lab-formulated Charcoal & Tea Tree Oil Break-Out Control Facial Cleansing Bar has been dermatologically proven to prevent breakouts and keep your skin clear, balanced and hydrated.

The bar itself contains activated charcoal, organic tea tree oil and shea butter, each ingredient bringing a certain element into the process of cleansing, making the experience an amazing feeling and great smelling (I advise not to deep breathe when going over your nose, don't ask, it's just a bad idea).


Activated Charcoal is used within the bar as the super-absorbent particles draw out dirt and unblock pores. Each particle is naturally charged which helps it attract more dirt and excess oil from within your pores, by having smaller particles within the bar there is a larger active surface area for the bar to do its magic.


Organic Tea Tree Oil is an essential oil which is derived from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree which gives it its purify properties allowing the bar to cleanse the skin and kill bacteria. It is a natural antiseptic which reduces inflammation and clears breakouts and also has the properties of a natural astringent that can help reduce your pores.


Shea Butter is used within products such as this bar due to its advantage of being able to provide moisture without actually clogging your pores. This core ingredient contains chemicals that mimic the bodies own hydrating properties and is rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, this helps improve redness and irritation on the skin's surface. Another amazing key factor to using Shea Butter within products created to improve your skin when it comes to spot is the fact that its fatty acids and Vitamin K concentration helps your body to heal faster when your skin barrier has been compromised.



Since using the bar I have seen a massive improvement in my skin, I didn't notice how much it had reduced the oil within my T-zone until I forgot to use it for a couple of days as I was away, but once I resumed my usual daily routine my skin instantly felt amazing. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who suffers with acne or even people who just want clearer skin (unfortunately I'm not blessed with the bare face of a skincare guru, but I'll get there one day), and I can't wait to try out their other products!


And here's a link to their website, where you can purchase their range of products and also have a look at the amazing reviews:
