Why You'll Love It

LET US TAKE THE NIGHT SHIFT.

Breakout-prone skin runs on its own 24-hour clock, and this overnight complexion clarifier finally gives beauty sleep something to do. Black Cumin Seed Oil and Vegetable Charcoal anchor an inky-colored formula that targets the bacteria behind acne, clears existing blemishes, and reins in excess oil, all while you sleep. Come morning, your skin looks happier for it.

Our nighttime oil tackles congested, breakout-prone skin from three angles. Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil brings serious antibacterial credentials, fending off blemishes before they form. Vegetable Charcoal draws out impurities and gently polishes away dead cells. The supporting oil complex calms inflammation, softens the look of scarring, and balances sebum levels.

Fragrance-free and clinically proven on sensitive skin, Carbon Star™ is dermatologist-tested as non-comedogenic, so it won't clog those hard-won pores.

Directions

At night, press 1-2 drops into damp skin and massage gently. The black formula turns clear as you work it in. Use every evening, or whenever skin is acting up. In the morning, cleanse as normal and follow your usual routine.

For best results, pair with All Becomes Clear Blemish Serum to keep skin balanced through the day. Already using our Rosehip Oil for blemishes? Switch to Carbon Star to prevent and reduce breakouts, then bring Rosehip Oil back in once a breakout is past its active phase to support 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)

the best!

"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.
