Why You'll Love It
Let us take the night shift.
Blemish-prone skin doesn't clock off at bedtime, and neither does this overnight clarifier. Built on organic Black Cumin Seed Oil and Vegetable Charcoal made from coconut shells, the inky formula goes after acne-causing bacteria, clears up blemishes, and keeps sebum in check, so mornings arrive with calmer, clearer skin.
Carbon Star tackles congested, breakout-prone skin from three different angles. Black Cumin Seed Oil delivers thymoquinone, a powerful antibacterial that holds blemishes back. Vegetable Charcoal pulls excess oil and grime out of pores while gently sweeping away dead skin cells. And the Amazonian trio of Copaiba, Andiroba and Acai joins forces to calm inflammation, fade post-blemish marks, and balance sebum production.
Counter-intuitive? Sure. But it holds up: when harsh treatments strip oily skin of its natural oils, the glands compensate by overproducing sebum, pores clog, and the breakout cycle restarts. Carbon Star interrupts the loop by replenishing with the right oils instead of stripping everything away. It's fragrance-free, 100% natural, and clinically tested non-comedogenic, so pores stay clear.

Key Ingredients
-
Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil
Known as ‘the oil of the pharaohs’, this oil has been used for thousands of years for its healing effects. Rich in vitamins, carotenes, antioxidants, enzymes, fatty acids, iron and carbohydrates, its antibacterial properties help to purify blemish-prone complexions while nourishing sensitive skin.
-
Vegetable Charcoal
Charcoal absorbs and removes toxins and excess oil from the skin. By gently exfoliating dead skin cells, the detoxifying ingredient leaves your pores cleaner and your skin clearer and healthier.
-
Copaiba
We use this active ingredient in its oil form, which comes from the resin of the wild harvested Brazilian Copaifera tree. Copaiba quickly gets to work to improve the condition and health of blemish or acne-prone skin.
"As counterintuitive as it may seem, you needn’t be scared of oil if you’re prone to breakouts - in fact, it might be exactly what your complexion needs. This light, unscented and detoxifying wonder oil purifies congested skin, removes excess oil, and even helps to tackle blemish scars as well as prevent future breakouts."

Reviews
Bought this for my 14 year old son
"This oil works very well on my 14 year old's skin. It has helped clear up the pimples around his nose and lips. His only complaint is that it is messy putting it on a first and can leave a stain on his pillow. This is a much better treatment than what I used when I was 14 ( I'm 51 now)"
Nice! I am using it now
"I have been using it just for few days so I am not sure about the results yet but so far I like the texture and feeling in my skin I would like to see more about the effects on the oily skin, pores and so"
Amazing
"Truly noticed a difference in my skin."
Nice lightweight oil
"Use at night as needed. Lightweight enough to layer a cream on top but not necessary."
Effective
"I find it effective when I feel tingling sensations that precede pimples. The only drawback of this oil is the presence of palmitic derivative; I hope that one day it will be free of it."
Good
"Haven't bene bene n the sun, tooo hot , this helpful with a Little color"
Skincare du soir
"Un produit que j’utilise depuis plusieurs mois. Je l’utilise avec ma guasha chaque soir. Ma peau est éclatante et sans imperfections au réveil."
This is the product line I've needed
"Amzaing! I've been battling acne over 20 years, and this is the line of products that has finally worked. My skin feels fantastic every time I use any of the products."
Didn’t work for me
"After reading the reviews I was hoping for good things from this oil, but after 2 months using it every night it seems to have actually made my skin more congested than it was before, so sadly will be giving up on it."
Q&A
- I would like to ask if Carbon Star oil can be mixed with Rosehip Oil in equal proportion for every other day application?
- Hi Jaroslaw, We would recommend using these separately on alternate nights as they have different properties and it works best individually. Pai Customer Experience Team
- My carbon star packaging has a batch number and a date on it. Is the date the production date or expiry date?
- Hi Kerry, Each Pai product is stamped with a batch code and expiry date. This information can be found on the base of all boxes and bottles, and across the top on the back of our tubes. Pai Customer Experience Team
- Hi. I am currently using your products to reduce congestion - double cleanse, all becomes clear serum with salicylic acid booster and the pioneer moisturiser. Would this be a good addition to this routine? I have been using products for about a month now and still suffering with congestion on my nose and chin. Would this be used on its own after cleansing without the use of serum or moisturiser? And how many nights per week should you use this? Thank you.
- Hi Chloe, The products you are using in your current routine are great for clearing congestion and reducing blemishes. We always recommend to be consistent with new skincare especially for at least 4-6 weeks so the skin has time to adjust and renew. The Carbon Star Oil is another great option for detoxifying. The vegetable charcoal helps to draw out impurities, fight acne-causing bacteria and keep sebum production under control. I would recommend using this a few times a week in the evening.
