EL TESSA Charcoal Face Wash for Blackheads

• Activated charcoal binds oil, dust and pollution so they rinse away.
• A deep-clean, fresh feel from the first wash, without tightness.
• Less congestion and a clearer-looking surface within two to four weeks.
• Made for city life: commuters, bikers and anyone who meets smog and dust all day.

Spend a day in Lahore traffic or a Karachi summer and your skin collects things you can't see: diesel particulate, dust, sweat-mixed grime settling into pores by the hour. Ordinary cleansers take off the surface layer. Charcoal goes after the rest.

Activated charcoal is prized in skincare for one property — it binds. Impurities, pollution, excess oil: they adhere to it and rinse away with it. This activated charcoal face wash from EL TESSA puts that draw to work as a deep-cleansing daily cleanser that leaves skin balanced and genuinely fresh, not stripped and squeaking. Built, quite literally, for city life in Pakistan.

Oily and combination skin. Commuters, bikers, outdoor workers — anyone whose face meets the city all day. Especially useful through winter smog season, when pollution sits low and settles on skin.

Dry or sensitive skin: once daily is plenty — charcoal is thorough.

Massage over damp skin for 30–60 seconds, morning and evening. Rinse well with lukewarm water and follow with moisturizer. Twice daily is the ceiling — over-washing triggers more oil, not less.

That distinct deep-clean freshness — without tightness — from the very first wash. Less congestion and a clearer-looking surface within two to four weeks.

Is this charcoal face wash good for oily skin?

Yes — oily and combination skin is exactly who it was made for. Activated charcoal binds excess oil and grime so they rinse away with it, and the wash is formulated to leave skin balanced rather than stripped and squeaking. If your T-zone shines by afternoon, this is a sensible daily cleanser.

Will it really help with dust and pollution?

That is the whole reason this anti-pollution face wash exists. A day in Lahore traffic or a Karachi summer leaves diesel particulate, dust and sweat-mixed grime settling into your pores, and ordinary cleansers only lift the surface layer. Charcoal binds those impurities so they rinse off with the wash — it earns its keep most in winter smog season, when pollution sits low and settles on skin.

Can I use it on dry or sensitive skin?

You can, but once a day is plenty — charcoal is thorough, and dry skin does not need a deep clean twice daily. Follow with moisturizer every time, and patch-test on a small area for 24 hours before first use, as with any new product.

Is this the original product or a copy?

It is the real EL TESSA face wash, sent to you directly by us rather than through a chain of resellers, which is how copies get in. Bottles leave here sealed and from a fresh batch. Look the seal over at your door — if anything about it seems opened or tampered with, do not use it, tell us, and our 7-day return policy covers unopened items.

How long does delivery take in Pakistan?

Delivery is free anywhere in Pakistan and takes 2–3 working days in major cities, 3–5 working days elsewhere, up to 7 in remote areas.

How can I pay?

You can pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, Apple Pay - secure checkout by Stripe) or pay on delivery (COD) - available in Pakistan only, so you pay the rider only when the parcel is in your hands. No advance payment or bank transfer needed.

How often should I use it in a day?

Twice daily — morning and evening — is the ceiling, not the target. Over-washing triggers your skin to produce more oil, not less. Dry or sensitive skin does fine with once a day.

When will I see results?

The deep-clean freshness — without tightness — is there from the very first wash. The bigger change, less congestion and a clearer-looking surface, builds over two to four weeks of regular use.

Does this charcoal face wash help with blackheads and clogged pores?

It helps with the cause: the oil and grime that settle into pores through the day. Used regularly, you should notice less congestion within two to four weeks. It is a daily cleanser though, not a spot treatment — expect cleaner and clearer, not an overnight fix.

How long will one bottle last?

The bottle is 100ml, and a face wash only needs a small amount per use. Exactly how long it lasts depends on your hand, but used once or twice daily most people get several weeks to a couple of months from one bottle.

Can I use the Charcoal Face Wash if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Please ask your doctor first. We cannot assess your health, and some skincare ingredients are not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Take the ingredient list printed on the pack to your doctor before you start.
