Ingredients
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 select USP certified 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.
Why is the Clear Out different?
Clear Out uses retinol + AZA to flush out dead skin and clogs. These two ingredients are the top choices for dermatologists and we’ve spent years balancing the concentration of these two ingredients into a single lotion so that it maximizes the effectiveness of both ingredients. 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).
Ingredient synergy is the reason why our products are more effective than other products may which may also contain retinol or AZA. All Clearly Basics products contain medical grade ingredients + synergy + botanical complexes that balance the formulations so that they do not irritate your skin.
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. AZA pairs with retinol as AZA helps with hyperpigmentation and calming redness. Dr. St Surin-Lord & Dr. Miller
Benefits
- Improves skin texture
Even more effective than retinol, AZA is well established in improving the texture of your skin. - Cleans the inside of the pores
Dr Nazzaro & Dr Passi, 1989 - Fades the appearance of post-acne scars
Dr Hollinger & Dr Angra, 2018
Pracaxi Oil
This tea tree oil found in the Amazon is an age-old remedy used to promote healing and soothe redness. Banov et al, 2014
Benefits
- Fades the appearance of hyperpigmentation
Teixeira et al, 2012 - Hydration
By hydrating the lesion, the skin does not need to produce extra collagen that may lead to textured scarring. Banov et al, 2014 - Keeping the surface clean
As a tea tree oil, pracaxi is effective in keeping open lesions clean. Dr Guimaraes & Dr Cunha, 2016
Volume: 30ml, 1.01 fluid ounces.
Each bottle is designed to last 3 months with nightly application.
Why is the Matte Hydrator different?
The hyaluronic acid molecule is normally too large to absorb into the skin and many brands save costs by only including a small amount of micronized hyaluronic acid. Our formulation is 100% Ultra Low Molecular Weight (ULMW) hyaluronic acid … no shortcuts, only the good stuff that will actually absorb into your skin.
Clear Out + Matte Hydrator is very effective at unclogging pores and reducing oil production.
Key Ingredients
100% ULMW Hyaluronic Acid
Holding 1000x its weight in moisture, hyaluronic acid locks in moisture and revitalizes the deeper layers of the skin so that it is soft and smooth.
Benefits
- Perfect for hydration
Naturally produced in your skin, hyaluronic acid is the key molecule involved in skin moisture. Dr Roth et al, 2012 - Absorbs quickly
The hyaluronic acid molecule is too large to absorb into the skin so you must micronize the molecule to 5nm so that it will readily absorb into the skin. Dr Jegasothy et al, 2014
Volume: 30ml, 1.01 fluid ounces.
Each bottle is designed to last 3 months being applied in the morning.
Why is the Lighten Up different?
There are very few formulations on the market designed to fade the appearance of post-acne scars and even fewer formulations that are effective. Lighten Up’s formulation is one that you can’t find anywhere else on the market and we consider it the best in its class.
Key Ingredients
Calendula
A natural oil extracted from marigold flowers, calendula is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin against environmental damage.
Benefits
- Powerful antioxidant that improves skin texure and tone
Dr Kim et al, 2018 - Calms skin
Calendula contains flavonoids and triterpene derivatives which calm the skin. Dr Dawid-Pac, 2013
Bisabolol

Benefits
- Calms the skin
Maurya et al, 2013 - Lightening effect
Dr Lee et al, 2010 - Stimulates and promotes healing

Benefits
- Fades the appearance of hyperpigmentation
Teixeira et al, 2012 - Hydration
By hydrating the lesion, the skin does not need to produce extra collagen that may lead to textured scarring. Banov et al, 2014 - Keeping the surface clean
As a tea tree oil, pracaxi is effective in keeping open lesions clean. Dr Guimaraes & Dr Cunha, 2016
Volume: 15ml, 0.5 fluid ounces.
Each bottle is designed to last up to 3 months depending on the number of post-acne red scars present.
Key Facts
Unclog your pores and reduce the need for your skin to produce so much oil. This is the perfect set for those with active breakouts on oily skin to reduce the red marks and reduce the oily sheen that you may get during the day.
What it does:
The Clear Out lotion will flush out clogs and clear whiteheads and blackheads. The Lighten Out will reduce the appearance of red post-acne marks and the Hydrator will moisturize your skin so that your sebum glands produce less oil. These three formulations were designed to work together to help those with oily acne-prone skin.
What it is formulated without:
Fragrance-, colorant-, lanolin-free. PETA certified vegan and cruelty-free. This non-comedogenic formulation is freshly made in Singapore 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.

#RealResults
See what others have to say about Clearly Basics.
@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.
@roxyrogan I have struggled with hormonal acne for over 1 year and had tried every face cream, scrub & peel you could find! When I started with Clearly Basics my skin started to clear within using the first bottle of ‘Clear Out’!
My skin is now on the road to recovery and I still use Clearly Basics ‘Clear Out, Protective Moisturizer and Lighten Up’ products every day! Highly recommend Clearly Basics to anyone who’s suffering from stubborn acne! 💛
@brittaneyshanae I swear the Power Duo (Clear Out and Lighten Up) are a GOD-send! I’ve been using both consistently for 3 months now and my skin has NEVER looked or felt better! I haven’t experienced a breakout since March and more than 80% of my hyperpigmentation is GONE!
I’m so grateful to have finally found a product that actually works for my skin!
If you’re dealing with acne breakouts and hyperpigmentation, you should def research Clearly Basics.
@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!
@_myskinstory 😭 I feel like I’m an addict and someone has taken away my drugs 😂
Saturday night I came to the end of my @clearlybasics Clear Out bottle. After consistently applying it every night for 3 months along side Niacinamide & Zinc so last night I had nothing to apply. (Right picture: a few days previous. Left picture: This morning) As soon as I woke up I knew it different feel great! 😭
Regardless off the other amazing benefits that a 2% Retinol & AZA has; I JUST WANT MY GLOW BACK!! I’ll dedicate my next post to the ingredients and how they ‘clearly’ work!!
@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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need three formulations?
How is the Clear Out different from other products that claim to treat acne?
- USP Certified: The 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: The 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.
In what order do I apply the Trio?
DAY:
- Wash your face / apply toner.
- Lighten Up
- Hydrator, sunblock or other products you normally use
NIGHT
-
- Wash your face / apply toner
- Lighten Up
- Clear Out (can only be applied at night)
- Hydrator or other products you normally use
If there are products on this list that you normally do not use, just skip that step.
Can I use these products alongside my other skincare products?
If the Clear Out is too drying, most users will apply the Moisturizer after applying the Clear Out. If the 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 the 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 scars 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 and you ingest the Clear Out, there is a minuscule chance that retinol could cause birth defects. As such, consult your doctor if using the Clear Out while pregnant.
The Clear Out can also be used by men in all stages of life.
I am getting new breakouts while using the 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 the Clear Out for rosacea, psoriasis, cystic or nodular acne?
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?
Can I use Clear Out on my back or body?
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 the 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 the Clear out, discontinue use.
-
Will Clear Out give me 100% clear skin
Can I use the Clear Out along with my facial?
Do I need to constantly use this product once I start?

So very happy with this product may give the stronger option a go this time for more stubborn blemishes
Matt M. (verified owner) –
Great combo
Chloe Ainsworth (verified owner) –
My skin feels so much less congested and healthy after using the retinol clear out. I use the lighten up before this also to tackle my red acne marks and they work beautifully together
Joanna S. (verified owner) –
This product has changed my skin. I never used to feel confident without makeup and I struggled with hormonal cystic acne. This alongside my favorite chemical exfoliant have transformed my skin. I have never been happy to wear BB Cream and a little powder as my foundation and I have never had as many people compliment on my clear skin … until I started using this! I seriously panic when it is empty and cannot live without it.
Jade (verified owner) –
Love both of these products. They have really helped my skin.
Anushiya (verified owner) –
Been using it for close to 3 months (on first bottle). After the initial purging, I can see a substantial improvement. The acne and congestion around my chin has reduced a lot
Marisa M. (verified owner) –
Bought the moisturizer for the 1st and it makes my face feel so good!
Deborah Springer (verified owner) –
Working really well so far!
DK (verified owner) –
This really helps during that time of the month, I put this on each night and any flare up usually subsides by the next morning
Katy M (verified owner) –
If you keep using it consistently it really works
Luke D. (verified owner) –
My skin has cleared up from big flare ups. I have had many battles with acne and had many years without any breakouts after going to the doctors for treatments. I then had a huge breakout at the beginning of this year and tried many things but nothing worked! So I came across Clearly Basics and thought do I fork out more money for something that may not work? But I can sure tell you now I am so grateful I listened to my gut and went for it. I have been using the Power Duo on my skin for nearly 6 months now and it has cleared and healed my skin up nicely. I still get the odd spot here and there but overall, over time it has cleared up my skin bringing my confidence back. If you are considering it I could not recommend these products enough.
Rhianon Kadwill (verified owner) –
Could not live without it
Ruby (verified owner) –
My skin did improve, but lately it has stopped.
amélie (verified owner) –
this product made my breakouts disappear for good ! in love with it
Georgina Tudor-Jones (verified owner) –
I experienced a massive purge for about 3 months which was not ideal but it did tend to clear up… Unfortunately, I cannot use the clear out now as I am pregnant and have experienced lots of breakouts since stopping the clear out…
Courtney (verified owner) –
This cream is a miracle! Has really worked! After years of trying everything, i have now found the stuff that st works! The lightening cream has really helped reduce the red pigmentation scars. So i am very happy.
Liz B (verified owner) –
Clear out does not dry my skin but does seem to decrease acne break outs. I have seen some mild changes in my red spots with lighten up but this does takes time.
Maddison (verified owner) –
It just works! Finally finding something that works on my skin was amazing.
Z Garaba (verified owner) –
The best products I have ever tried
Henriëtte (verified owner) –
I started using clear out 2,5 months ago. I had to get through two purges, but after two months I really started to see improvement. Now my skin is better than it has been for years and its still improving! I tried other retinol products but this is the only product that does not make my skin dry out. Love it !
Brittany Scalera (verified owner) –
Cannot live without!
Katharina (verified owner) –
It took about 4 weeks till I started to see my skin changing but after a purge in week 8, my skin visibly improved and is now less prone to new breakouts. I can definitely recommend the Power Duo!
Danielle R. (verified owner) –
After 3 months implementing the clear out into my routine I have seen a significant improvement. My hormonal acne looks better, I am more confident as a result. Worth every penny, I will continue to use and hopefully my acne will fully clear
Fatime G. (verified owner) –
I use this every night and it seems to keep my skin under control. Hormonal acne will still prevail over it during that time of the month, but it has helped to reduce my cystic acne tremendously.
Patricia M. (verified owner) –
Definitely reduces appearance of the pimples. I am breaking out less, existing pimples are healing faster. Skin tingles a bit, but no redness after. Skin get quite dry, but it is nothing which can not be managed by moisturizer. I am having hormonal acne, which can not be treated by hormones as I have other health issues contradictory to hormonal treatment. Therefore Clearly Basics is working slowly for me, but it is definitely working!
