Beauty Obsession: Bioré Charcoal Pore Minimizer

Check out the hottest beauty products that our editors can't live without!

Charcoal is the hottest new ingredient in skincare products and with Bioré's Charcoal Pore Minimizer ($9.99, amazon.com), it's easy to see why: It has incredible purifying properties. This skincare-saver also uses polishing micro-crystals to help draw out pore-clogging dirt and oil. After just one time using it, my pores appeared noticeably smaller when I examined them up-close using a magnifying mirror, earning a spot in my weekly beauty regimen.

If you're prone to blackheads like I am, then I also recommend using Bioré's Deep-Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips once a week ($6.99, amazon.com). This fresh new take on the strips we loved using during our adolescent years is just as relevant now.
