The Charcoal Hydrogel

MilliMilli Brightening Shot

Our favourite charcoal hydrogel, and one some industry insiders rate above Biodance. Kaolin and four natural pore-care ingredients help absorb excess oil and buildup, while niacinamide brightens and helps even out tone. The second-skin hydrogel delivers refreshing hydration and can be worn for 30 minutes to three hours, leaving skin clearer, smoother and glowing.

WHY WE PICKED IT

Some industry insiders have called this one better than Biodance, so we had high expectations. It met them.

The black charcoal hydrogel combines kaolin and four natural ingredients that help absorb excess oil and buildup, with niacinamide for clarity and glow. It fits like a second skin and keeps hydrating for anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours, depending on what your skin needs.
Key Benefits

• Clarity: Kaolin and charcoal help absorb excess oil and buildup.
• Brightness: Niacinamide helps even out tone and boost glow.
• Refined pores: Pores look smaller and skin feels smoother.
• Hydration: The hydrogel refreshes skin for up to 3 hours.
Best for

Dull, uneven or congested-looking skin, including combination skin with visible pores.
When we’d use it

Before an event. Make it part of a routine that feels good, not another step you have to do.
What caught our attention

The charcoal base. It’s rare to find a hydrogel that cleanses and brightens at the same time, but kaolin and niacinamide make it work. Stay still for the first 2–3 minutes while it sets for the best fit.
What we love about the brand

MilliMilli has taken a format others made famous and given it a genuinely new twist. That kind of thinking is exactly what we look for.
The Sonagi Verdict

A considered choice for uneven-looking, dull skin. The appeal is simple: refresh dull-looking skin and boost the appearance of radiance, without the exaggerated promises.
How to Use

• Prep: Cleanse your face and pat it dry.
• Apply: Peel off the protective films and smooth the hydrogel over your face, pressing out any air bubbles.
• Let it work: Stay still for the first 2–3 minutes while it sets, then leave it on for 30 minutes to 3 hours, depending on what your skin needs.
• Finish: Gently peel it off and pat any remaining essence into your skin. No rinsing needed.
