Let's get into it!
What Is Charcoal Cleanser?
Leven Rose Charcoal Cleanser is a gentle foaming facial cleanser formulated to help remove dirt, excess oil, and daily impurities while leaving your skin feeling soft and refreshed.
One of its key ingredients is activated charcoal, a popular skincare ingredient known for its ability to bind to certain substances.
The formula also includes nourishing and conditioning ingredients such as:
-
Jojoba Oil
-
Aloe Vera Extract
-
Hemp Seed Oil
-
Vitamin B5
-
Chamomile Extract
-
Avocado Oil
-
Moringa Oil
Together, these ingredients help cleanse the skin while supporting a soft, comfortable feel.
Unlike a cleanser that leaves your skin feeling tight and stripped, this formula is designed to leave your complexion feeling clean, refreshed, and ready for the rest of your skincare routine.
Benefits of Charcoal Cleanser
So, what makes charcoal cleanser a great addition to your skincare routine?
Here are a few reasons to give it a spot on your bathroom shelf.
1. Helps remove dirt and daily buildup
Throughout the day, your skin comes into contact with all sorts of things.
Makeup, sunscreen, sweat, excess oil, and environmental debris can accumulate on the surface of your skin.
A good cleanser helps remove that buildup so your skin feels fresh and clean.
2. Helps cleanse away excess oil
If your skin tends to look shiny throughout the day, a cleanser can help remove excess oil and leave your complexion feeling refreshed.
Activated charcoal is commonly used in skincare formulations designed to help cleanse oily skin.
3. Helps leave skin feeling soft and refreshed
Cleansing doesn't have to mean stripping your skin of all its moisture.
Our Charcoal Cleanser includes jojoba oil, aloe vera, and other conditioning ingredients to help leave skin feeling soft and comfortable after washing.
4. Helps prepare skin for the rest of your skincare routine
A cleanser is the first step in most skincare routines.
Once you've removed daily buildup, your skin is ready for the products that follow, such as toner, serum, moisturizer, or facial oil.
5. Helps support a fresh, clean complexion
Regular cleansing helps remove the dirt, oil, and residue that can accumulate on your skin.
It's a simple but important step in maintaining a consistent skincare routine.
6. A simple addition to your daily routine
You don't need a complicated skincare routine to take good care of your skin.
A cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen can go a long way toward creating a simple daily routine.
And if you enjoy using additional skincare products, Charcoal Cleanser makes a great first step.
How to Use Leven Rose Charcoal Cleanser
Ready to give your skin a fresh start?
Here's how to use your Charcoal Cleanser.
Step 1: Wet your face
Start by splashing your face with lukewarm water.
You don't need hot water to cleanse your skin. Lukewarm water is a comfortable choice for most people.
Step 2: Apply a small amount of cleanser
Dispense a small amount of Charcoal Cleanser into your palm.
You only need a little!
The cleanser creates a gentle foaming lather, so a small amount is often enough to cleanse your face.
Step 3: Gently massage onto your skin
Using your fingertips, massage the cleanser onto your damp face using gentle circular motions.
Focus on areas that tend to collect more oil or buildup, such as:
-
Your forehead
-
Around your nose
-
Your chin
-
Your cheeks
Avoid scrubbing aggressively.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly
Rinse your face with lukewarm water until the cleanser is completely removed.
Make sure to rinse around your hairline and jawline, where cleanser can sometimes collect.
Step 5: Pat your face dry
Use a clean, soft towel to gently pat your face dry.
Avoid rubbing your skin aggressively.
Step 6: Follow with your skincare routine
Now that your skin is clean, it's time for the rest of your routine.
Apply your favorite toner, serum, facial oil, or moisturizer.
And don't forget sunscreen during your morning routine!
How to Use Charcoal Cleanser in the Morning
A morning cleanse helps remove any excess oil and residue that may have accumulated overnight.
Here's a simple way to use your Charcoal Cleanser in the morning.
Your morning routine:
-
Leven Rose Charcoal Cleanser

Leven Rose Rose Water Toner

Leven Rose Argan Morning Serum or your favorite facial oil

How to Use Charcoal Cleanser at Night
Evening cleansing is especially important because your skin has been exposed to daily buildup.
If you've worn makeup or sunscreen, you may want to remove those products before using your cleanser.
Your evening routine:

Remove makeup and sunscreen with your preferred makeup remover or cleansing oil.
-
Wet your face with lukewarm water.

Apply a small amount of Charcoal Cleanser.
-
Gently massage onto your skin.

It's a simple way to finish your day with a fresh, clean complexion.
5 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Charcoal Cleanser
A few small changes can make your cleansing routine feel even better.
Tip #1: Use less than you think you need
You don't need a huge amount of cleanser to wash your face.
Start with a small amount and add more only if necessary.
This helps make your cleanser last longer and prevents unnecessary product waste.
Tip #2: Avoid using hot water
Hot water can leave your skin feeling dry or uncomfortable.
Lukewarm water is a better choice for your cleansing routine.
Tip #3: Don't scrub your face
Your skin doesn't need to be scrubbed aggressively to get clean.
Use gentle circular motions with your fingertips.
If you want to exfoliate, choose a separate product designed for that purpose and use it according to its instructions.
Tip #4: Follow with moisturizer
Cleansing is only one part of your skincare routine.
Following with a moisturizer or facial oil can help keep your skin feeling comfortable and hydrated.
Tip #5: Be consistent
A simple skincare routine that you follow regularly is often more useful than a complicated routine that you rarely use.
Make cleansing a part of your morning or evening routine and adjust based on your skin's needs.
How Often Should You Use Charcoal Cleanser?
For many people, cleansing once or twice a day works well.
However, the best frequency depends on your skin type and how your skin responds.
Here's a simple guide:
For oily or combination skin:
Try cleansing in the morning and evening.
For normal skin:
Once or twice daily may work well.
For dry skin:
Consider cleansing once daily in the evening and rinsing with water in the morning.
For sensitive skin:
Start with once daily or every other day and see how your skin responds.
If your skin begins to feel tight, dry, or irritated, reduce how often you use the cleanser.
