Hawthorne Men’s Deep Exfoliating Skin Care Kit — Charcoal Cleanser & Lightweight Lotion, 4 fl oz (Normal to Oily)

Hawthorne Deep Exfoliating Men’s Skin Care Kit is a two-step facial routine—charcoal exfoliating cleanser plus lightweight everyday lotion—designed to clear pores and hydrate normal to oily skin without harsh chemicals.

This compact kit pairs a charcoal-based deep exfoliating face wash with a non-greasy daily lotion to help reduce surface buildup, control shine, and leave skin feeling refreshed. Formulated with natural peppermint and geranium leaf scent, the set emphasizes gentle, non-toxic ingredients and avoids sulfates, parabens, silicones, and phthalates. Each bottle contains 4 fl. oz. and is aimed at men seeking a straightforward, effective grooming routine that fits morning and evening use.

How does the charcoal exfoliating face wash work for oily or combination skin?

The charcoal exfoliating cleanser lifts debris, excess oil, and dead skin cells to reduce clogged pores and surface dullness. It uses mild exfoliants and charcoal to capture impurities without stripping moisture, making it suited for routine use when skin shows oiliness or texture.

• Activated charcoal helps absorb surface oil and environmental grime.
• Mild physical or enzymatic exfoliants remove dead skin without over-irritation.
• Peppermint provides a cooling sensation and light scent without heavy fragrance.
• Formulated to cleanse deeply while avoiding tight, dry after-feel.

Will the Everyday Face Lotion feel heavy under sunscreen or aftershave?

The lotion is formulated to be lightweight and fast-absorbing, so it layers well under sunscreen, serums, or aftershave. It provides antioxidant-rich hydration to smooth skin texture and tame shine without leaving a greasy residue.

• Thin, non-greasy texture suitable for layering with other products.
• Antioxidant ingredients support a more even-looking complexion.
• Absorbs quickly so it won’t pill when used with SPF or styling products.
• Designed for daily use—morning and evening—on normal to oily skin types.

What ingredients are avoided, and why does that matter?

Hawthorne’s kit skips sulfates, parabens, silicones, and phthalates to reduce exposure to common irritants and synthetic additives. Choosing products without these ingredients helps maintain a simpler, cleaner routine—especially important for sensitive or reactive skin.

• Sulfate-free to prevent excessive stripping of natural oils.
• Paraben-free to remove common preservatives some users avoid.
• Silicone-free so pores feel less clogged and textures remain natural.
• Cruelty-free formulation aligned with ethical choices.

How should I incorporate this kit into my daily grooming routine?

Use the charcoal exfoliating cleanser once daily or a few times weekly depending on sensitivity—morning for a fresh start or evening to remove daily buildup. Follow with the Everyday Face Lotion for hydration and a smoother feel throughout the day.

• Wet face, massage cleanser for 30–60 seconds, rinse thoroughly.
• Pat skin dry and apply a nickel-sized amount of lotion to face and neck.
• Morning: follow with SPF. Evening: apply alone or after targeted treatments.
• Adjust exfoliation frequency based on how your skin responds.

Who this kit is for: men with normal to oily or combination skin who want a simple two-step regimen that targets clogged pores and mid-day shine without heavy fragrances or harsh chemicals. It suits those who prefer natural scent profiles like peppermint and geranium leaf and who value cruelty-free, non-toxic grooming products. If you’re building a streamlined routine—travel-friendly sizes, morning refresh, and lightweight moisturization—this set provides foundational cleansing and daily hydration designed to fit into busy lifestyles.
