Reviews
Good (not great) product for tackling breakouts
"Good skin paste for tackling breakouts. It runs a little thick and gloopy and leaves a white caste which can be an issue depending on how much time you’ve got to let it settle on the skin. Product says it can be used under make up- which I’m yet to try but is probably the best use for it as it will be colour corrected by the foundation"
Wonder paste
"Although this is a bit messy… put on as an overnight treatment it works absolute wonders for calming any inflammation and stopping developing spots in their tracks. I have used many anti blemish products over the years and this is by far the one I wouldn’t be without."
Super overnight spot cream
"This is my go to product when I break out, I apply overnight it takes about 5 mins to dry and always stops the spots from getting worse, calms the inflammation and eventually makes them disappear entirely. I've been using this for years now and can highly recommend it. Worried that they had discontinued it but it seems to be back now thankfully."
"Great product. Havnt actually had to use it as the other Carbon Theory products are doing such an amazing job at keeping my skin clear"
Lost its potency
"I original purchased this while I was in London the summer of 2022 and this product was a miracle worker. As soon as you saw a pimple you just rub it on and by the next day it was COMPLETELY GONE. I loved this product so much that I took the same bottle back to NYC and have been using it for 2 years. Now spring of 2024 I am back in London so I had to purchase more. I was so excited that the price dropped from the original £18 I paid for it in 2022 to £5 in spring 2024 sooooooo I bought 3 bottles thinking it was the same potent formula. To my disappointment it doesn't work for me at all now. I'm not sure if the formula changed or it the product is expired this is why it stop working???? I loved this product I bought in 2022 I made a raving YouTube review. I think this new formula is weaker. Now my face just started to breakout in London again and this product is not working I will have to go to the store to get some pimple patches that are super expensive over here. Maybe the company should make patches"
Break out
"This is a must to have this product . It worked wonderful and made my face smooth all over again."
Fantastic stuff
"That's is fantastic thing for overnight. Clear out all the spots. Works magic"
I don't get it
"I don't get how you're supposed to use this as it doesn't dry on your skin. The packaging advises to put a thick layer on the affected areas but as it doesn't dry, it just ends up all over your face and bed sheets/pillows. Once I even woke up with red eyes as it smudged and went to my eyes. Not practical at all."
Does the job
"Useful spot paste, does help get rid of blemishes and would recommend. The only issue I have with it is that it takes a long time to fully dry."
Q&A
- I just used this for the first time. I applied a thick layer and I’d would NOT dry. I applied some in a thinner layer and that didn’t dry either. What happened?
- Hey Shannon, it depends on how long the Spot Paste is left on for - we would recommend leaving this on overnight for the best results!
- How often should this be used?
- Hey Cinthya, we don't have a recommended amount of times this should be used in a week, as it's been formulated to specifically target the more stubborn spots that are a little tougher to shift than others!
- Can the paste be used after applying the facial purifying tonic and moisturiser ?
- Hey Jin, yes!
- What would be the best way to remove the paste?
- Hey! We'd recommend rinsing it off with warm water!
- Is it safe to use during pregnancy as it has vitamin a?
- Hey Z.a, Yes! Our natural formulations are tested to the highest global standard and perfectly safe during and post pregnancy.
