FAQs

What makes this the best facial cleanser for Black skin?
It’s formulated to respect melanin-rich skin. That means deep cleaning without stripping, and ingredients that support oil balance and even skin tone.

No — not in this formula. We paired activated charcoal with gentle cleansing agents and pH-balanced ingredients so you can use it daily without over-drying.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. It’s fragrance-free, sulfate-free, and designed to minimize irritation. Always patch test to be safe, but most sensitive skin types do well with this.

Absolutely. Cleansing is step one — moisturizing is step two. Pair it with our Peptide Moisturizer or the full Prime Skin System for best results.
