When your skin feels oily again just hours after you've washed it, it's frustrating.
Skin Script Charcoal Clay Cleanser gives oily and combination skin a deep cleanse, removing excess oil, makeup, sweat, dirt, and daily buildup so skin feels fresh, clean, and balanced without that tight, stripped feeling.
6.4 oz / 16 oz (16 oz ships directly from Skin Script)
Please note: The larger size is special-ordered and ships directly from Skin Script, so it is non-returnable. All sales of the larger size are final.
What Makes It Different
Oily skin doesn't need to feel stripped to feel clean.
This cleanser is designed to remove excess oil and the buildup that collects on skin throughout the day, including sweat, makeup, dirt, and debris.
Use it as your everyday cleanser for oily or combination skin, or reach for it when you need a more thorough cleanse, especially after a workout or on sweaty days.
It can also be used on the body, making it especially helpful for the back, chest, and shoulders where sweat and oil tend to collect.
Key Ingredients
Coconut Charcoal Powder
A highly porous powder derived from coconut husks that helps attract and remove excess surface oil, dirt, and buildup from the skin.
Kaolin Clay
Absorbs excess oil and helps remove debris that can contribute to clogged pores.
Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract
Rich in antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, and fatty acids that help support moisture and protect against free radicals.
Why It Stands Out
- Absorbs excess oil to help reduce surface shine
- Deep cleans oily and combination skin without leaving it feeling stripped
- Removes makeup, sweat, dirt, and daily buildup
- Helps clear away oil and debris that can contribute to clogged pores
- Works as both a face and body cleanser
- Leaves skin feeling fresh, clean, and balanced rather than tight or overly dry
- Especially useful after workouts or for sweat-prone areas of the face and body
Pila's tip: Keep this one in your gym bag. I especially like it after workouts when sweat and excess oil have been sitting on the skin. Use it on your face or take it into the shower for areas prone to breakouts from sweat, like the back, chest, shoulders, and décolleté.
How to Use
Apply a small amount to damp skin and massage gently before rinsing thoroughly.
Use daily for oily or combination skin, or reach for it after workouts and particularly oily or sweaty days.
For the body, massage over the back, chest, shoulders, or other sweat-prone areas in the shower and rinse well.
Pairs Well With
Skin Script Clarifying Toner Pads
Pair with these when excess oil, shine, clogged pores, or breakouts are ongoing concerns. The pads help absorb excess oil while exfoliating buildup that can contribute to congestion.
Skin Script Mint Refining Toner
Follow with this when excess oil and visible pores are concerns. It helps reduce surface oil while temporarily tightening the skin so pores appear smaller.
Skin Script Light Aloe Moisturizer
Finish with lightweight hydration that won't give oily or combination skin the feel of a heavier cream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What skin types is Skin Script Charcoal Clay Cleanser best suited for?
A: Oily and combination skin, especially when excess oil, shine, sweat, or buildup are your main concerns. It can be used as an everyday cleanser or whenever your skin needs a more thorough cleanse.
Q: What's the difference between Skin Script Charcoal Clay Cleanser and a salicylic acid cleanser?
A: Choose Charcoal Clay Cleanser when excess surface oil and thorough cleansing are your main priorities. When blackheads, sebaceous filaments, clogged pores, or breakouts are the bigger concern, Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser may be the better choice. Its 2% salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pore to help clear oil and buildup.
Q: Should I wash my face after working out?
A: Yes. Cleansing after a workout removes sweat, excess oil, and buildup rather than leaving it sitting on your skin. Charcoal Clay Cleanser can be used on both the face and sweat-prone areas of the body after exercise.
Q: Can I use Skin Script Charcoal Clay Cleanser on my body?
A: Yes. I especially like it for the back, chest, shoulders, and other areas that become oily or are prone to breakouts from sweat, workouts, or sports.
Q: What's the difference between Skin Script Charcoal Clay Cleanser and Glycolic Cleanser?
A: Choose Charcoal Clay Cleanser when excess oil, sweat, makeup, and thorough cleansing are your priorities. Choose Skin Script Glycolic Cleanser when dullness and uneven texture are the bigger concerns. Depending on your skin, you can also alternate between the two.
Q: Can I use Skin Script Charcoal Clay Cleanser every day?
A: Yes. It can be used daily for oily or combination skin. You can also use it as a more thorough cleansing option on particularly oily or sweaty days.
