Balancing Cleanser100ml
AHA + BHA cleanser for oily skin$35.9
For those who need extra cleansing power, this soap-free formulation contains both AHA + BHA. Glycolic acid works on the surface to exfoliate while salicylic acid goes deeper into the pores to dissolve dead skin cells and break down sebum.
Most acne cleansers contain a single AHA or a BHA. However, Balancing Cleanser combines both acids for extra effectiveness. We then minimize irritation by balancing this formulation with numerous botanicals.
Since we use medical-grade ingredients, you can even leave Balancing Cleanser on your skin for 30 minutes to get a gentle peel!

“Brilliant cleanser. Even though it has two acids, the cleanser is gentle and super soft on skin.”
“I was always scared about using a cleanser with salicylic acid because I have not had a good experience with it but that all changed when I started using this face cleanser. Best thing ever.”
“I really like this cleanser. My skin does not feel stripped after using this – just clean and still naturally soft. Been using it twice daily and have seen a significant reduction in the formation of pimples/acne. I also use this every few weeks as a light peel which is nice to give the other products a boost in clearing my skin, and helping with scarring and preventing acne.”
“This leaves my skin clean and clears all impurities.”
Double Trouble for Breakouts
Most acne face washes are formulated with only an AHA or BHA. Balancing Cleanser is formulated with 2% glycolic acid (an AHA) and 2% salicylic acid (a BHA) to help clear clogged pores and prepare the skin for the acne-fighting actives to follow. Balanced with botanicals, the formulation is tough on pimples but gentle on skin.
Your Weekly Facial Treatment
More than a daily face wash, Balancing Cleanser can be used as a weekly facial mask. Leave it on for 30 minutes for a gentle peel before carrying on with your regular skincare routine!

SALICYLIC ACID
What It Is: Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) naturally sourced from the bark of the willow tree.
Why It’s Here:

· Exfoliates the skin by penetrating deep into the pores where dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria reside
ACACIA CONCINNA FRUIT EXTRACT
What It Is: Also known as Shikakai, acacia concinna is a shrub with natural saponins (soaping agents) and a mild pH.
Why It’s Here:
· Gently cleanses skin while helping preserve its natural protective lipid layer
· Nurtures and protects skin from fungal infections and has antibacterial properties
GLYCOLIC ACID
What It Is: Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane.
Why It’s Here:
· Heals damaged skin (Dr Perricone & Dr DiNardo, 1996)
· Primes and preps skin for products to follow
· Exfoliates and effectively sheds the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal the brighter, fresher skin underneath
GYPSOPHILA PANICULATA ROOT

Why It’s Here:
· Moisturizes and conditions skin
· Has natural cleansing properties

@carliedaniel18 I have suffered with acne since i was 13, After years of medication, and spending absolutely £1000s on products that didn’t work i decided to try prescription oral medication, and it was the hardest 8 months of my life. I got all the side affects, and even though eventually it did clear my skin after being off it for just 3 months my skin got bad again especially hormonally!
I then came across clearly basics, although the reviews were good I was very reluctant as it wasn’t cheap and could be another dud that didn’t work! Eventually I gave in as I always do and it was the best decision ever! I can’t believe I hadn’t come across this sooner, my skin has cleared up so much. It’s made my skin soft and glowy as well, it genuinely is everything in a bottle!
@itsangels_makeup I’ve started using The Power Duo + Protective moisturizer nearly 6 months ago after many positives reviews that I’ve read.
The first thing that I’ve experience has been the “purge” coming with clear out and it can last a loooong time. So this review is for people like me who experienced the purge for more that a month or two: keep going.
Because when I was about to quit I’ve seen a huuuuge difference with my skin. My skin is so much smoother than it was before Clearly Basics. So keep going, use Clearly Basics and stay positive!
@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.

I have oily cystic acne prone skin. I have used all different types of cleansers over the years. I started using clearly a little over a year ago and I keep coming back to this cleanser. I like having the AHA and BHA exfoliation that will not strip my skin but still feels clean. Plus a little goes a long way. I am able to wash my face, neck, chest and upper back with only one pump.

I just moved to a different state and my skin was not reacting well to the stress, new water and all of the inconsistencies in my routines. I started using this product about a week after the move and my skin cleared up almost instantly! It does not dry out my skin, either. I love this product!
