Why You'll Love It

LET US TAKE THE NIGHT SHIFT.

Managing blemish-prone skin is a round-the-clock job, and this overnight complexion clarifier brings a whole new meaning to beauty sleep. Formulated with Black Cumin Seed Oil and Vegetable Charcoal, this rebalancing, inky-coloured face oil works to fight acne-causing bacteria, clear imperfections and keep sebum production under control, so you can wake up to happier skin.

Our nighttime oil takes a three-pronged approach to spot-prone, congested skin. Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil has powerful antibacterial properties to keep blemishes at bay, while Vegetable Charcoal helps to gently remove impurities and buff away dead skin cells. Lastly, its oil complex helps reduce inflammation and scarring, while keeping sebum levels on an even keel.

Carbon Star™ is fragrance-free, clinically proven for sensitive skin and has been dermatologically tested to be non-comedogenic - which means it won’t block those precious pores.

Directions

In the evening, apply 1-2 drops to damp skin. Gently massage in - it will turn clear on application. Use daily, or when your skin is stressed. In the morning, cleanse and follow your usual routine. For best results, use All Becomes Clear Blemish Serum to rebalance your skin throughout the day. Already using our Rosehip Oil to manage blemish issues? We recommend using the Carbon Star Oil to prevent and reduce breakouts. Use Rosehip Oil once a breakout is past its active phase, to encourage healing.

Key Ingredients

  • Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil

    Known as ‘the oil of the pharaohs’, this oil has been used for thousands of years for its healing effects. Rich in vitamins, carotenes, antioxidants, enzymes, fatty acids, iron and carbohydrates, its antibacterial properties help to purify blemish-prone complexions while nourishing sensitive skin.

  • Vegetable Charcoal

    Charcoal absorbs and removes toxins and excess oil from the skin. By gently exfoliating dead skin cells, the detoxifying ingredient leaves your pores cleaner and your skin clearer and healthier.

Sarah Brown, Pai Founder

"As counterintuitive as it may seem, you needn’t be scared of oil if you’re prone to breakouts - in fact, it might be exactly what your complexion needs. This light, unscented and detoxifying wonder oil purifies congested skin, removes excess oil, and even helps to tackle blemish scars as well as prevent future breakouts."

SARAH BROWN
FOUNDER, PAI SKINCARE

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between All Becomes Clear and Carbon Star?

All Becomes Clear is a lightweight daytime serum (Step 2: Clarify), while Carbon Star is a nourishing overnight face oil (Step 3: Rebalance). They work best together: Carbon Star rebalances and clarifies while you sleep, then All Becomes Clear maintains that rebalancing throughout the day.

Can I use Carbon Star alongside a retinol at night?

Yes. Apply Carbon Star after your retinol. The botanical oils and Vitamin E in the formula can actually help buffer some of the dryness and irritation that retinol sometimes causes, while the blemish-fighting ingredients continue to work alongside it.

Reviews

Little in size but big in result

"This tiny bottole is full of greatness. A couple of drops go a long way. It is so surprising how it helps to 'speed up' healing/breakout without bringing it into full big red dot. It's a great product to have."

Jana K. (5/5)

I love this product. I

"I love this product. I apply at night 2-3 times a week after cleansing. Gives my skin a smooth, matte result. Smells great and works well on any spots and blemishes creeping in. Love the mini for travel."

Katherine G. (5/5)

"this oil has already helped even my skin tone with only a couple uses! it’s great to mix with my nightly moisturizer"

carlye t. (5/5)

Good night skin

"I love this oil and my skin too, its exactly what my skin needs for its night routine and the mini size in just so handy since I travel a lot and helps me keep my routine while travelling"

Angela G. (5/5)

Amazing

"Truly noticed a difference in my skin."

Gianna C. (5/5)

"Love these products"

Daleen (5/5)

Clearest skin ever

"I was ready to not be impressed by this, I needed a new moisturizer after my old brand discontinued and everything breaks me out. I don’t love the smell of this but holy wow this is maybe the clearest my skin has ever been, and is actually sufficiently moisturizing for my aging skin. The rosehip broke me out a little so I really hope this one stays in the lineup!!"

Jennifer Z. (5/5)

Love pai

"I bought this and the salicylic booster drops to clear up my acne. Both were good. I’ve actually stopped with this one and continued with the salicylic drops as noticed such a great change with them and didn’t want to overdo it. My skin is looking the best it has for years."

Lily M. (4/5)

Highly effective

"I usually have dry skin, but when my period is around the corner I get a lot of small pimples. This product helps me with them. I do recommend it!!!"

Angela P. (5/5)

Gentle yet effective

"I like using this at night on my nose, chin and forehead."

Q&A

I just need to cleanse, then apply this? No toner, facial mist, moisturizer or eye cream? Thanks!
Hi Jennifer, We would recommend cleansing followed by a serum, moisturiser and then applying Carbon Star. If you would like help choosing these products, please do get in touch with our customer support team where our skin experts can help you. Pai Customer Experience Team
J'ai une amie qui a des imperfections liées à la grossesse. Peut elle utiliser cette huile?
Bonjour, Oui, ce produit peut être utilisé pendant la grossesse. Équipe Expérience Client Pai
Hi should I use this under my moisturiser? I’m 55 and have menopause zits but also need to keep on top of fine lines etc
Hi Jo, Thank you for getting in touch. Carbon Star Oil is an overnight treatment oil that is designed to be used alone. You may prefer our Salicylic Acid Booster, apply to affected areas and you can add it to Moisturiser if needed. It can be used morning and evening. Just remember to wear SPF as it can make you more sensitive to sunlight.
Hello! Does this work well with niacinamide? Or hyaluronic acid?
Hi Elly, Thank you for getting in touch. Carbon Star Oil is an overnight treatment Oil that is designed to be used alone. Remember to cleanse in the morning with Middlemist Seven Cream Cleanser to remove it. You could use your other actives on a different evening or in the morning
Hi there, is it possible to use this in the morning rather than evening with the pioneer moisturiser as I am currently using harsher products (epiduo) at night to help sort my bad acne. Many thanks, Jasmine
Hi Jasmine! Our Carbon Star Oil works deep into the pores during the night to draw out impurities and prevent further breakouts and congestion. It is unable to work as efficiently if used during the day as the skin is exposed to external aggressors such as pollution and UVA/UVB. At night, the skin is free from any of these external factors, allowing the skin's natural repair process to happen without interruption and ensuring the oil can work to its full potential. We would recommend booking a free online skin consultation with us as we can talk through your skin in more detail and help you fit the Carbon Star Oil into your existing routine to ensure you're getting the best results.
