Ingredients
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.
Ingredient synergy is the reason why our products are more effective than other products which may 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. Working together with retinol, AZA helps with post-acne marks 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 marks
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 post-acne marks
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
Clear Out 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 normalizing 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
Matte Hydrator 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 marks and even fewer formulations that are effective. Lighten Up’s formulation is one that you can’t find anywhere else on the market.
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
An essential oil extracted from chamomile flowers, bisabolol is an excellent anti-irritant, soothing agent & a humectant to lock in skin’s natural moisture.
Benefits
- Calms the skin
Maurya et al, 2013 - Lightening effect
Dr Lee et al, 2010 - Stimulates and promotes healing

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
Lighten Up Volume: 15ml, 0.5 fluid ounces.
Each bottle is designed to last up to 3 months depending on the number of post-acne red marks 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 appearance of 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.

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.
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 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 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.

#ClearlyResults
See what others have to say about 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!
@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!
@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!
@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🔮🧚🏽♀️
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!
@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.

This is the BEST hyaluronic acid product I have managed to get my hands on. It sinks into the skin so quickly which I love. It massively helps control my oily skin which is something I am so self conscious of – I usually need to dab my skin throughout the day with a tissue – I have not had to once since using this product!
