Timing is important when it comes to applying your skincare. Apply the formulation which you want to prioritize first, as your skin will most readily absorb this first formulation. Here is a general guide. However, change the order depending on what you want to prioritize:

Day
- Cleansing. Since you do not wake up with makeup, opt for a gentle cleanser that does not overstrip your skin of essential oils.
- Spot treatments. Both Lighten Up and Dark Mark Defense absorb quickly into your skin so you can apply your moisturizer immediately after applying either spot treatments.
- Moisturizer. The Matte Hydrator will also absorb quickly into the skin so you only need to leave 30 seconds before applying sunblock or makeup.
- Sunblock. This is the step that most of us get wrong. Take your time applying sunblock as it needs time to settle into an even film over your skin.
- Makeup. So that you do not break up the layer of sunblock, apply foundation using a makeup sponge or cosmetic ball/egg.
Night
- Cleansing. Rather than using a strong cleanser, opt for spending more time working in a gentle cleanser to remove makeup.
- Spot treatments. Both Lighten Up and Dark Mark Defense absorb quickly into your skin so you can apply your Clear Out immediately after applying either spot treatments.
- Clear Out. So that the lotion can spread evenly across your face, take a small pea-sized amount of lotion and make five “dots” on your face. Then spread each of the dots into the general area.
- Moisturizer. If you do not need a moisturizer after the Clear Out, skip apply moisturizer at night.

Michaela Holzhuter I’ve struggled with adult acne for years. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars trying to grab at the next promise for clear skin. Clearly Basics is the first brand that actually worked for me! It’s simple (it actually decreased the time I was spending caring for my skin), it’s scale-able (buy one product or by seven!), and it works. I couldn’t be happier with this product and the continuous progress it has provided!

@xx.tonilumsden This is me 5 weeks into my skincare journey with @clearlybasics.
5 weeks ago, 5 months ago, and even 5 years ago, I had lost all hope for my skin and appearance. Now I have regained that hope and positivity because I know that I am using amazing skincare products by @clearlybasics that actually do work without being harsh on my skin.
Just because you feel like nothing is working doesn’t mean you should give up on hope.

@megandownes Amazing!! Never have I found a brand that is so gentle on my skin but works wonders. The lighten up is the best thing for redness, the difference in just one day on my pictures below. Can’t recommend enough, especially for hormonal acne. Thank you Clearly!

@pimpledgirl The 1st week was amazed! Fascinating skin texture, there were no stinging. The 2nd week were pretty same. The 3rd week – purging starred – bumpy skin, redness. The 4th week – same but I added #ProtectiveMoisturiser either from @clearlybasics and in three days redness was reduced. The 5-6th weeks – skin smoother, less red, breaking out badly. The 7-8th week – is it my skin? not red (even after washing as it used to be).
I’d say the amount of pustules has been reduced in 85%. I still have some tiny-tiny pimples and will keep going with mu treatment. • Honestly I’m very grateful to Clearly Basics • I’ll keep you updated.

@beatlebarbs Hey guys! So I rarely write reviews, but I’m going make an exception, because it literally changed my life (what a cliche I know).
I’ve suffered from acne pretty much my whole life. I’m generally a happy and optimistic person, or at least I try to be, but acne made it impossible for me. It got to a point where I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror without crying. I didn’t wanna go out or even meet my friends. My self confidence was nonexistent. I had severe anxieties and break downs. I sought the help of a GP and dermatologist but nothing worked. Antibiotics made it even worse.
Then I read about the Clear Out and the reviews were great. Still a bit skeptical, I decided to give it a shot and thank God I did. My skin improved drastically and even though I still get a pimple or two every now and then, I am overall very happy with the results.

@amysacnehealing Yes I know the lighting is different but look at the difference in the texture 😍. Yes I still have acne, that hasn’t gone away however…the fact that my texture has improved has increased my confidence so much. I really do believe this is all down to @clearlybasics I’ve been using their power duo for about 3 weeks and I’ve noticed such a difference in the size of my acne spots…my face doesn’t hurt as much nor is as itchy as it was.
I would definitely recommend giving them a whirl it’s the only products that I can honestly say has made any difference to my skin. The difference it has made in 3 weeks is fab!
