Deep-cleansing balm with detoxifying & restorative properties / 3.38 fl oz

twelveLab Charcoal Instant Glow Cleanser seems, at first blush, to be a surprising departure from this beloved brand’s typical formulas. Charcoal, after all, typically brings to mind skincare products that detoxify deeply, in a borderline ruthless way. But in typical twelveLab fashion, formulator Pedro Catalá has made charcoal into something that’s kind even to delicate skin types, which we love: after all, sensitive skin gets congested, too, and many brands that focus on sensitive skin seem to forget this.

This triple-phase formula turns from a gel into an oil as it’s massaged into skin, then transforms into a milk upon rinsing. Its unique blend of activated vegetable charcoal, purifying kaolin clay, and restorative plant oils (sunflower and sweet almond) deeply clean and detoxify the skin without over-drying it; even delicate skin types will feel both calm and clear. It’s the perfect product for warmer months or specific times of the month, and we love alternating it with either twelveLab cleanser anytime we want a deeper clean.
