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.
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.

"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)"
"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"
"Truly noticed a difference in my skin."
"Use at night as needed. Lightweight enough to layer a cream on top but not necessary."
"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."
"Haven't bene bene n the sun, tooo hot , this helpful with a Little color"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I have acne prone skin, and shortly after adding this product to my routine (and changing nothing else) I ended up with large cystic spots along my chin/jaw which I never get. Not sure if this was a bi-product of the carbon star oil and purging or something else. Been using it every two days for the last few weeks and need more time to evaluate."
