Balancing Cleanser
$35.9For 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!

- Can also be used as an exfoliating facial mask
- Gives skin a thorough cleanse without stripping it of its natural oils

“Was very skeptical that this would do anything since I have had deep dark marks for several years. To my surprise, this actually started to reduce the dark marks significantly. They are almost gone after only about 2 months of use. Will continue to use them to clear them up. Skin is finally clear enough to be confident enough to not wear foundation every day to cover all the scarring. Very impressed and have been recommending to friends!”
“Helped so much over time in conjunction with Lighten Up to fight older scarring. Thank you!”
“Great product for reducing the discolouration/marking that happens after acne has occurred.”
“Really helping to decrease my dark marks left behind after years of acne!”

The formulation has been tested and perfected to fade the look of these stubborn marks up to 4x faster than normal. Get ready to kick them out ’cause your skin is no home for them.

@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.
@celesterobinson This company is honestly incredible! I have been struggling with really painful hormonal cystic acne for years. I was prescribed oral medication, but decided against taking it because of all the side effects. So I did some research and found Clearly Basics! I have been using the Power Duo for 3 months and the progress my skin has made has been amazing! It has cleared my skin without causing any irritation or sensitivity. I am finally at the stage where I can leave the house without makeup! My skin is clear!! The customer service is also very personal and efficient. I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about these products, they literally saved my skin.
@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!

How do I apply Dark Mark Defense (DMD)?
Can I use DMD together with my moisturizer or other products?
Can I use DMD as a spot treatment on an active lesion?
For active lesions, please use our spot treatment gel – Stop Spot (if you are in the US) or Calm Down (if you are outside the US). While the names are different, the formulation for the two is exactly the same.
How long does it take to see noticeable results?
Can I use DMD on my back and body?
Is DMD safe to use while pregnant or nursing?
I have more questions!
