Activated Charcoal's versatility and effectiveness have earned it a strong reputation in the skincare industry as a powerful ingredient. When it comes to breakouts, Activated Charcoal is able to draw unwanted gunk from your skin, whether that be oil, dirt, product buildup, pollutants, or bacteria. By extracting these impurities out of your pores, it's able to not only clear up and prevent breakouts, but also minimize pore size and visibility with use over time.
