Ingredients
Why is Clear Out different?
Clear Out uses retinol + AZA to flush out dead skin and clogs. AZA is also paired with pracaxi to quickly relieve redness and heal. (You can’t find this combination of ingredients anywhere else on the market).
Key ingredients
Retinol
A derivative of Vitamin A, retinoids are the primary tool that dermatologists use to clear clogs. Dr. Leyden & Dr Stein-Gold, 2017
Benefits
- Flushes out dead skin cells
Retinol perpetually flushes out dead skin cells making it harder for clogs to form inside your pores. Dr Kraft & Dr Freiman, 2019 - Flattens bumpy skin
Dr Schmidt & Dr Gans, 2011 - Restores skin, reduces fine lines & wrinkles
Retinol enhances hydration and reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines and wrinkles. British Journal of Dermatology, 2010 - Boosts collagen
Department of Dermatology, University of Michigan Medical School, 2007
Naturally formed on your skin. AZA helps to calm redness, improves skin texture and brightens the skin. Working together with retinol, AZA helps with post-acne marks and calming redness. Dr. St Surin-Lord & Dr. Miller

Why is Lighten Up different?
There are very few formulations on the market designed to fade the appearance of post-acne marks and even fewer formulations that are effective. Clearly Basics’ Lighten Up formulation is the best in its class.

Key Facts
What it does:
Clear Out uses –
- Retinol to flush out dead skin and clear clogs.
- AZA to soothe skin, improves uneven skin tone and brightens skin.
- Pracaxi oil to reduce the appearance of red marks.
Lighten Up uses –
- Pracaxi oil to hydrate and protect the skin.
- Bisabolol + Calendula to soothe red marks.
The three essential oils have been carefully balanced to drive better results with virtually no side effects. The two formulations are designed to work together so there is little overlap in active ingredients.
What it is formulated without:
Fragrance-, colorant-, paraben-, phthalate-, lanolin-free. PETA certified vegan and cruelty-free. This non-comedogenic formulation is freshly made in Singapore and packed in airless bottles so there are minimal preservatives.
What else you need to know:
In the first month, this formulation will trigger a purge of dead skin trapped in your pores which can appear as flakes or low level breakouts. It is necessary to flush out this dead skin which is the material that creates clogs inside the pore. During this time, the formulation will also flush out any existing microcomedones … low level acne that was already in the making inside your pore. This purge will peak at week 5 and subside after week 8 of use. At week 10, you will turn over a clearer layer of skin that is less clog prone.

What makes Clearly Basics different?
We’ve taken products that are often EXCLUSIVELY sold in a dermatologist’s office at 3x the price and made it available for everyday consumers. We use USP certified medical grade ingredients when potency matters, but less expensive cosmetic grade ingredients when purity is not a concern.
The most frequent comment we get in our reviews is that users have tried everything and nothing has come close to the results they have seen with our formulations.
Application instructions:
DAY:
- Wash your face / apply toner.
- Lighten Up (spot treatment)
- Moisturizer/Hydrator, sunblock or other products you normally use
NIGHT
- Wash your face / apply toner
- Lighten Up (spot treatment)
- Clear Out (can only be applied at night)
- Moisturizer/Hydrator or other products you normally use
If there are products on this list that you normally do not use, just skip that step.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Clear Out different from other products that claim to treat acne?
- USP certified: Clear Out is loaded with USP certified ingredients. While USP certified ingredients cost a lot more than their cosmetic grade counterparts, it ensures a level of purity and potency for our ingredients and ultimately this means that we ensure effectiveness.
- Multiple Actives: Clear Out has three active ingredients that have been carefully balanced so that each ingredient works together to address clogged pores on acne-prone skin. This means that with lower concentrations (fewer side effects), we will generate better results.
- Transparency: Clearly has a money-back guarantee on its product and we are confident that you will see a noticeable decrease in clogs after your first bottle of Clear Out. Also, Clearly keeps the reviews section of its Facebook Page open. You can see that the reviews are from real users who have used our products. Most peer brands have shut down the reviews section of their pages or have directed their reviews to a website where they can filter and show only the good reviews.
How do I apply the Power Duo?
Clear Out should only be applied in the evening and left on throughout the night. Lighten Up can be used both morning and evening as the first lotion that you apply after washing your face or using toner. Both formulations are designed as leave-in formulations.
Can I use these products alongside my other skincare products?
If Clear Out is too drying, most users will apply the Moisturizer after applying Clear Out. If Clear Out is too strong, apply the Moisturizer before applying Clear Out. This should only be done for two weeks until your skin adjusts and we can then step up by applying Clear Out first before the Moisturizer.
Can I use these two products if I have sensitive skin?
Can I use the Power Duo on my back and body?
Can I use this product if I have oily skin?
What types of acne marks does the Lighten Up help?
If your post-acne scar has collected brown pigmentation due to UV exposure, we are currently working on an anti-brown scar formulation. This is anticipated to release by the end of 2019.
Please speak to your dermatologist concerning the correction of pitted or raised scars.
Can I use this product if I am trying to conceive, breastfeeding or pregnant?
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor regarding the use of an over the counter topical retinol lotion.
Clear Out can also be used by men in all stages of life.
I am getting new breakouts while using Clear Out. Should I discontinue use?
Get through the purge and by week eight, it’s smooth sailing! You will turn over a new layer of skin with fewer clogs. Every bottle is designed to last 3 months so you should see this turnover and improved results by the end of your first bottle.
Can I use Clear Out for rosacea, psoriasis, cystic or nodular acne?
The Power Duo is not making any difference in my skin. Should I stop using it?
The Lighten Up should start to show noticeable results after six weeks of use. Make sure to take “before” photos to track your progress!
Will certain skin conditions make the purge worse?
How can I tell the difference between a reaction and a purge
- A rash or breakout caused by a reaction/allergy would show up within the first day whereas a purge would take at least several days before surfacing.
- A breakout caused by a reaction would surface even on areas where you typically do not have acne. If you are applying Clear Out on your whole face and only getting breakouts where you normally get pimples, this is likely a normal purge.
- If the breakouts you are getting are itchy 10 minutes after applying Clear out, discontinue use.

#ClearlyResults
See what others have to say about Clearly Basics.
@fi_ding I just wanted to post my progress, firstly to thank Clearly for giving me my confidence back! I have suffered on and off with my skin for years, the contraceptive pill kept it under control for a long time but since stopping any hormonal contraception my skins been up and down like a yo-yo! I really didn’t want to go down the route of prescription oral medication, personal choice, so when I read about Clearly Basics (after ALOT of research) I decided to give it a go. Even after a few weeks I could tell a difference, and after a few months, the difference is huge! My skin was angry, painful and inflamed. Its now way way calmer, with only a couple of spots popping up around that time of the month. And I’m overjoyed with that! I next plan on tackling the red marks left behind so I can feel even more confident make up free. It does take time, but be patient, and consistent, and it will work! No foaming face washes seem to have helped for me too. Thanks again clearly 🤗😀
@theclearskinroad My @clearlybasics update!! The photos on the left were October 2nd and the photos on the right were today (October 11th).
I’ve been using the Power Duo for Clearly Basics for about 2 months now, and now starting to see quick results! My favourite is the “Clear Out” 🤗 Loving the results and exciting to keep using Clearly products!
@deannaskin Over the past month and a half I’ve noticed a massive change to the appearance and texture of my skin since using @clearlybasics. Honestly the most effective products (vegan of course) I’ve used all year. Not only has the redness of my spots reduced, but I rarely get painful under-the-skin bumps or huge whiteheads anymore. My scars have also faded so quickly 👀
If your skin is similar to mine I’d 100% recommend that you implement these products into your skincare routine.
I’m only a few weeks in using these products but the results have been so positive🔮🧚🏽♀️
@by.emmataylor CLEAR OUT💙💙💙 gets rid of blackheads and whiteheads which is an added bonus.
It really improved my skin texture and most of all it removed spots. It’s worth the try really, because you can even get your money back if you don’t like the products, what are you waiting for? -Emma xxx
@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.

After almost a year of using Clearly Basics, I can honestly say that it has been worth every single penny spent. It has not only dramatically improved my skin but also drastically improved my confidence too. For the first time in years, I feel happy with what I see when I look in the mirror without make-up. I still get spots, as that is just the nature of my skin, but my face is noticeably clearer, smoother and less red. Also, when I do get a spot now, it gets nowhere near as big or painful as it would have done in the past and clears up a lot quicker. My breakouts are now less frequent, less severe and it does not have a negative impact on my mood like they used to. Having tried pretty much every face wash and spot cream on the market, I feel so happy that I have finally found something that is not a waste of money and actually gives results. I cannot say enough good things about Clearly! I just wish I had discovered it years ago. Would not hesitate to recommend.

In the last 4 years my acne has been the worst it has ever been, my cheeks constantly had big cystic pimples, when one would go away another would appear. The redness and scaring was so bad I had people think I had a severe case of Chicken Pox. I never suffered from acne in high school, so having it so bad in my early 20s was very struggling for my self confidence.
Like many, I tried product after product, spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. I saw Clearly Basics pop up on my newfeeds on social media and I spent a few weeks looking into the products and reviews. I sent in my photos to get a recommendation on which products to choose and the Duo seemed to be my best shot. So I took the risk and I am thrilled to say it was SO WORTH IT! Within the first month I noticed a huge change in the amount of new acne that was popping up- hardly any new ones. Over the first three months the redness and scaring has faded and I now only get one new pimple maybe a few days a week. The products were not harsh on my skin and I still could use my normal cleansing and makeup routines. My skin is definitely so much better than before and I now feel confident to go without makeup in public. I will definitely be purchasing another set, as I know it will just keep getting better from here!

I love, LOVE this product Loving my face and not afraid to take pictures of myself and with others! Thankyou so much Clearly Basics!!
Vonda (verified owner) –
It actually works. I have bought so many things online, offline, I have had adult acne for 10 years. I did proactive, I was prescribed medicated cream and did a round of oral prescription medication. I am not acne free yet. But it is 90 percent better!
Nur A (verified owner) –
I have been struggling with acne and tried all sorts of skincare – CosRx, The ordinary but I ended up giving up because they simply were not fast enough or not effective. I was so desperate that I was willing to give anything a try that I saw an advertisement by Clearly. Bought the Power Duo and all else is history. Received the items fuss-free in beautiful packaging within 2 working days. Large papules will be flattened and diminished within 2 to 3 days. No other products come close to them. Anyone looking for a solution do not hesitate or think twice about Clearly. A plus point would be Clara, Clearlys dermatologist is very responsive and helpful should you have any concerns.
