Meet our Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Gel Cleanser

You love the liquid version of the OG five-star Charcoal Cleansing Bar, so we thought we really ought to make a second version of the new member of the Carbon Theory family. Meet the Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Gel Cleanser - all the salicylic goodness of our Exfoliating Cleansing Bar, with all the convenience of a squeezy tube.


The deets
