Even if you don't have any facial cleansing bars in your collection, here's one that's going to become your new fave if you have combination, oily or acne-prone skin: the Charcoal & Willow Purifying Cleansing Bar from Ondo Beauty 36.5.

This facial cleanser is a syndet — a soap-free, sulphate-free formula with an optimum pH balance that deeply cleanses the skin without irritating or drying it. Read on to learn why you’re going to love it:

Its formula with charcoal and 0.4% salicylic acid helps purify the skin and cleanse the pores, eliminating impurities and excess oil, which prevents the appearance of blemishes and those dreaded blackheads. These two ingredients make the perfect team when it comes to achieving cleaner, minimised pores that make your skin look glowy, fresh and restored. Its formula also contains white willow bark extract, a natural source of salicylic acid, with soothing properties, that will leave the skin soft and clean. Moreover, the soothing and antioxidant benefits of houttuynia ordata, on the other hand, help balance the skin.

Charcoal & Willow Purifying Cleansing Bar is a purifying syndet cleanser that also gently exfoliates the skin, and is suitable to use as part of your morning and evening routine. Oh, and you can also use it as a body cleanser on areas like your back (or backside!), which we tend to neglect, and that can also suffer from blemishes, blackheads and pimples due to sweating, the rubbing of clothes, and so on. Not only is it going to work great for you — you'll also enjoy using it, as the subtle lavender scent of its natural essential oil is extremely relaxing.

Also, this syndet is 100% vegan and its bar format makes it perfect for hassle-free travel. Choosing multi-purpose, zero-waste products like this one (the box it comes in is also recyclable), you'll be reducing waste. Help us take care of the planet with an incredible cleanser that your skin will love!

By the way, the Charcoal & Willow Purifying Cleansing Bar belongs to the BBO-SONG line by Ondo Beauty 36.5. If you haven't tried its exfoliating mask, what are you waiting for? It's the perfect match for any skin-renewing routine.

We particularly recommend it for combination, oily or acne-prone skin. Do you have sensitive skin and would prefer gentle cleansing without exfoliation? Check out the Calamine & Oatmeal Soothing Cleansing Bar by Ondo Beauty 36.5.
