Reviews

Amazing as always

"Awesome product. Use daily with Carbon Theory soap and moisturiser. Has worked wonders on my oily, spot prone skin. Can’t recommend these products enough. Fantastic value for money. Now won’t use any other products on my face and done wonders for my skin confidence."

Amazing!

"This product is amazing!! Literally the only thing that works for my cystic acne."

Sky B. (5/5)

An absolute staple of my routine

"I can’t begin to describe how fantastic this stuff is. Every now and then I find myself removing it from my regime (just to try other products from other brands) and I always find myself coming back. It’s one of the only products on the market that clears my skin and keeps it clear."

Cameron W. (5/5)

Life saver!!

"I found Carbon Theory a year ago and I haven’t looked back. This tonic is great, keeps skin clean without drying out my skin like other ance based skin products. Buy this religiously when I order every 6 weeks and highly recommend if you struggle with oily skin,"

I never skip this part of my routine!

"This product has been an absolute game changer for my skincare routine. I’ve always suffered with occasional acne, but it became chronic about 10 months ago due to some health issues I was having. I was so, so unhappy. I tried this tonic out after trying many products and spending a lot of money - including prescriptions from my doctor, and expensive facial treatments at salons. Honestly nothing helped and I was at the end of my tether and struggling mentally. But this toner helped to turn things around. It’s now a vital part of my routine, and I always make sure to order some before I run out, so that I never have to skip this step - even if I’m really tired or in a rush! I use it morning and night and am so grateful it exists! I will use this forever. I’ve included 2 pictures of when I was struggling with my skin, and one from today."

"This is my second bottle. Like others I’ve had ache prone skin and this combined with your other products has been an absolute game changer. I’m really impressed with the affordable cost and the company overall."

Q&A

Why does this product make my skin sting, is that normal?
Hi Ali - thanks for getting in touch. Our Facial Purifying Tonic includes active ingredients that can increase your skin cell turnover which gently exfoliates the skin. However, this can cause some 'stinging' when first used. We recommend gradually introducing the product into your routine to build your skin's tolerance and avoid directly applying to irritated or broken skin. All skin is different so if redness or irritation persists, we recommend to stop using the product. Hope this helps!
Hi, can I use this with the mineral mud mask? Should I apply it before or after?
Hey Carla, yes! The Facial Purifying Tonic can be used alongside our Mud Mask, we recommend using the Tonic after the Mask.
Can I use this alongside the overnight syrum?
Hey Tom, yes you can!
Is this product fragrance free?
Hey James, we don't add any fragrance to our products, the fragrance that they have is entirely natural. -JJ
Is this okay for all skin types?
Hi Jed, the premium natural ingredients are effective yet kind to your skin. All our products are suitable for sensitive skin but would recommend a patch test if you are concerned. -JJ
