Shiny T-zone, clogged pores, blemishes that keep coming back—even though you cleanse daily? No. 05 — Carbo combines bamboo charcoal and olive leaf extract in a mild hand soap that binds excess sebum and thoroughly cleanses pores without drying out the skin. Trehalose and purslane protect the skin barrier in the process. Used two to three times a week, it supports a more matte, clearer complexion – for face and body, sulfate-free and gentle on sensitive skin.
Bamboo charcoal possesses a microporous structure with a specific surface area of up to 560 m²/g. A study (Zhu et al., 2024, Scientific Reports / Nature) examined the adsorption capacity of activated bamboo charcoal for triglycerides—the main component of skin sebum. Result: The activated charcoal adsorbed 27% of the triglycerides and demonstrated a significantly stronger binding energy than ordinary charcoal. Important for an honest assessment: This study examined the mechanism in a laboratory setting, not directly on human skin. With a soap that has a short contact time, the effect is milder than with leave-on products.
Olive leaf extract (oleuropein) was tested in a 2026 in vitro study (Kim et al., Current Issues in Molecular Biology) on human sebocytes: The extract significantly inhibited lipid accumulation in the sebaceous cells and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-8 and TNF-α. A clinical pilot study (Wanitphakdeedecha et al., 2020, Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology) showed improved skin texture in 64% of participants after 2 months.
Trehalose—a natural disaccharide comprising 4% of the formula—protects the skin barrier and binds moisture. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study (PMC 2024), trehalose reduced transepidermal water loss and increased the water content of the stratum corneum after 4 weeks.
Realistic timeframe: immediately more matte skin feel after washing, fewer blemishes after 4–6 weeks, clearer complexion with regular use over 3 months.
Yes, when used externally as intended. The soap contains an amino acid surfactant (lauroyl glutamic acid), which is considered one of the mildest surfactants – it cleanses without attacking the natural skin lipids. Bamboo charcoal is not chemically active and generally does not cause irritation. For first-time use, we recommend testing on a small area of skin. Not suitable for contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Not intended for children.

Since I started using Carbo, my T-zone is significantly less shiny – and the pores on my nose look more refined. It doesn’t dry out my skin, which surprised me for a charcoal soap.
Carefully selected ingredients, each with a purpose
Bamboo charcoal
The key active ingredient for clear pores — binds excess sebum and impurities on the skin's surface.
Olive leaf
Regulates sebum production directly in the sebocytes, has an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect — for fewer blemishes and a clearer complexion.
Trehalose
Natural disaccharide that binds moisture and protects the skin barrier — balances the cleansing effect of charcoal so the skin does not dry out.
Purslane Extract
Calms irritated, blemished skin with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants — anti-inflammatory and skin-protecting, clinically tested for skin irritation.
As simple as that
Does Carbo work
Four simple steps for your skincare routine
1
Moisten face & skin
Wet your face or the affected area of skin thoroughly with warm water to allow the soap to spread easily.
2
Lather & massage in
Lather Carbo between your hands or directly on the skin and gently massage in for 2–3 minutes.
3
Allow to soak in
Leave it on for a moment while the bamboo charcoal works on your skin.
4
Rinse & let dry
Rinse thoroughly. Store the soap in a dry place afterwards; use 2–3 times per week for best results.

Clinically tested
In a laboratory study (Zhu et al., 2024, Scientific Reports / Nature), activated bamboo charcoal adsorbed 27% of triglycerides—the main component of skin sebum—thanks to a microporous structure with a surface area of up to 560 m²/g. An in vitro study on human sebocytes (Kim et al., 2026, Current Issues in Molecular Biology) showed that olive leaf extract significantly inhibits lipid accumulation in sebum cells and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines. Trehalose has been proven to protect the skin barrier: in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study (PMC 2024), it reduced transepidermal water loss and increased the water content of the stratum corneum after 4 weeks.
Caffeine stimulates microcirculation, volcanic mud absorbs sebum — for a firmer skin sensation.

I've had oily skin since puberty and feel like I've tried everything. I've been using Carbo 3 times a week for 4 weeks now, and my T-zone is significantly less shiny. By midday, I no longer look like I've dipped my face in oil. And the best part: my skin doesn't feel tight at all afterwards.
I used a different activated charcoal soap before; it did remove the sebum, but my skin felt completely dry afterwards and ended up producing EVEN more oil. Carbo is completely different. It cleans really well but leaves my skin feeling nourished. I’m at week 6 now and my pores on my nose are visibly smaller.
Okay wow. I have really congested skin and large pores on my cheeks. After a month with Carbo: significantly fewer blackheads and my skin feels so much cleaner, without that nasty tight sensation. It also has a super subtle scent, not as chemical as other charcoal products.
Since I stopped taking the pill, my skin has gone totally crazy — oily, pimples, clogged pores. I'm now at week 8 with Carbo and it is SO much better. Fewer breakouts, less shine, and my overall complexion has become much more even. I ordered the 6-pack right away.
My wife recommended this soap to me because, despite being almost 60, I still have a shiny nose and large pores. After two months, I have to say: the soap delivers what it promises. My skin is more matte and the pores are less noticeable. Very pleasant to use, with no drying out.
I found them on TikTok and thought I’d give them a try. I’ve been using them for 5 weeks and my skin is literally a different one. Less oily, fewer pimples, and the pores on my nose have gotten smaller. And the black color just looks cool in the bathroom 😂

I’m usually skeptical about things like this, but my daughter talked me into it. I have to admit: after 6 weeks, my skin really does look better. Less shine on my forehead, my pores are finer, and there’s no redness. The soap lathers well and lasts a long time. The 6-pack is definitely great value for money.

Since I started using Carbo as a facial cleanser in the morning, I no longer have to touch up my makeup at noon. My skin is much less oily and my foundation no longer settles into my pores. That alone makes it worth it. I've been using it for 7 weeks now and don't want to be without it.

I bought it because of my oily skin and the blackheads on my nose. After 4 weeks: my skin definitely feels better, less oily. The blackheads aren't completely gone yet, but they are decreasing. One star less because the shipping took a little while; the product itself is top-notch.

Oily and sensitive skin at the same time — it’s impossible to find something that cleanses without irritating. Carbo manages to do exactly that. After washing, my skin is matte but not dry, and for the past 2 months, I’ve hardly had any blemishes. The pores on my cheeks also look finer. Highly recommended.

At my age, you’d think oily skin would be a thing of the past — but my nose and forehead still get shiny. A colleague recommended Carbo to me. After ten weeks, I’m truly impressed. My skin is much more matte and my pores look more refined. It’s a very mild soap with no irritation. I’ve already ordered more.

I had really large pores and typical oily men's skin. Before, I only used cheap face washes. The difference with Carbo is stark — after 5 weeks, my skin is much clearer and less oily. My girlfriend says my pores look smaller. Definitely worth it.

I have combination skin and have always struggled with clogged pores on my nose and chin. Since using Carbo for 6 weeks, my blackheads have decreased significantly and my skin just feels cleaner. Not that "chemically clean" feeling you get with other products, but a truly well-cared-for clean. It’s hard to describe, but those who know, know what I mean.

I've struggled with oily skin and breakouts since I was a teenager and never dared to go out without foundation. After 2 months of using Carbo, for the first time in years, I feel comfortable going outside without any makeup. My pores are smaller, I barely have any pimples, and my complexion is just so much more even. I'm so grateful that I found this product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Carbo suitable for sensitive skin?+
Yes. Carbo uses an amino acid surfactant (lauroyl glutamic acid), which is considered one of the mildest surfactants available — it cleanses without attacking the skin’s natural lipids. Trehalose and purslane additionally protect the skin barrier. Nevertheless, we recommend a short test on a small patch of skin before the first application. If irritation occurs, pause use.
When will I notice a difference?+
You will often feel a more matte, fresher skin sensation after just the first application. Visibly fewer impurities and refined pores generally require 4–6 weeks of regular use (2–3 times per week). For a permanently clearer complexion, we recommend at least 3 months.
Can I use Carbo daily?+
We recommend 2–3 applications per week. Daily use is possible, but for sensitive skin, it may remove too much sebum — causing the skin to produce even more as a compensatory reaction. Less is often more here: consistency over weeks counts for more than frequency.
Does the charcoal soap dry out my skin?+
No. That is exactly why Carbo contains 4% trehalose, hyaluronic acid, olive oil, and a mild amino acid surfactant. The bamboo charcoal binds excess sebum, but the protective formula ensures that the skin barrier remains intact. Nevertheless, we recommend applying moisturizer as usual after use.
Does Carbo also help with blackheads and sebaceous filaments?+
Bamboo charcoal binds sebum and impurities on the skin's surface, while olive leaf extract regulates sebum production. With regular use, many users report fewer visible blackheads and refined pores. Important: Sebaceous filaments are a natural part of the skin and never disappear completely—but their appearance can be significantly reduced.
