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 these two ingredients into a single lotion so that it maximizes their effectiveness. AZA then paired with pracaxi to quickly calm redness and heal. This combination of ingredients is very effective at flushing out clogs and calming down red marks.
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

Key Facts
This set contains our most popular products: a 30ml bottle of Clear Out, a 30ml bottle of Protective Moisturizer and a 15ml bottle of Lighten Up.
This is the perfect set for those with sensitive/combination acne-prone skin to reduce the appearance of red marks and improve the texture of your skin.
What it is formulated without:
Fragrance-, colorant-, lanolin-free. PETA certified vegan and cruelty-free. All formulations are non-comedogenic, 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 select 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 do I ease into the strength of the Clear Out
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)
- Moisturizer 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.
-
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?
I have more questions!
#ClearlyResults
See what others have to say about Clearly Basics.
@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! 💛
@thoughtsofhealing I’ve been using @clearlybasics for over 4 months but here’s a difference from June 3rd and August 2nd!
The ingredients in @clearlybasics Clear Out is AMAZING for hyperpigmentation.
A complete GAME CHANGER!
@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!
@clearupchels Guys after using clear out from @clearlybasics for over a month everyday I do truly believe it’s made a MASSIVE difference. My face is smoother, tone is more even and I do think the stubborn spots are going quicker.
I payed for this myself and have not been asked to do this post, I just think If it’ll help someone else why would I not shout about it!
@skinwithak @clearlybasics helped maintain my skin after oral prescription and honestly their products have helped so many, I get many DM’s thanking me for recommending Clearly Basics and how it’s helped them.
If I knew about @clearlybasics prior to my course of oral prescription I would’ve definitely gone with using Clear Out for sure!
@aishx I have been using this product for the last 3 months and I swear by it!
My nasty pimps went away within days, my blemish marks were lightened and the size of my pores decreased drastically! In fact I feel that my skin brightened up a lot and my makeup looked smoother too!

I began using Clearly Basics during January of this year. Since then, my skin has improved tremendously. I still get break outs, especially around my period, but with acne-prone skin I know that breakouts are likely to pop up every now and then. I started my journey with Clearly by using the trio. I highly recommend this for people who are interested in managing their acne. After a few months of using the trio, I went ahead and purchased the toner and dark mark defense. I would have to say the bulk of my skin improvement is due to the trio. When I first started the regimen, I was surprised to see that I really did not have much of a purge while using the clear out. Now that it is summer time and the humidity is consistent, I have noticed my skin is much more oily and my pore are enlarged. I plan on purchasing the matte hydrator to help assist with the production of oil on my face – my goal is to reduce the oil and limit breakouts! Overall, I highly recommend Clearly Basics!

Wow … okay honestly I started using Clearly around October and in the last 3 months I have with out a doubt noticed a difference; my skin texture has improved, there is less redness, it feels softer and overall more healthy. However keep in mind it has taken time to notice a change, you really need to be patient with this product!! I was so nervous to try this at first as its not the cheapest option, but take it from someone who has went through sooo many different products and wasted sooo much money, that Clearly is honestly so worth it!!
I keep ordering more and I am so excited to see how this will continue to improve my skin as the months go on. I still break out! It has not completely stopped it but it is SO good at preventing acne from getting worse and making the whole break out/healing process speed up!! Works like magic overnight.
In honesty I have been scared to write a review because I have tried sooo many things before and nothing has worked long term (worried I am gonna jinx it), but I have to admit Clearly Basics is the first product ever to actually make a noticeable difference everyday and I am really starting to believe that it will only continue to improve the more I stick with it.
I never write reviews for things but Clearly Basics deserves it. Finally there is something that works!!!!
Currently ordering the Dark Mark Defense and I cant wait!! 🙂

probably one of the best investments i have made yet! thank you x
Jamie Conlon (verified owner) –
The trio has drastically calmed down my skin. My complexion is smoother and my skin seems healthier. Since starting these products in January, I’ve had maybe 2 or 3 cysts appear over three months. Prior to Clearly, I would consistently get cysts, especially around my menstrual cycle, and they would stay for what seemed like months. When I got those 2-3 cysts, I knew that Clearly was just working the junk out of my pores and the blemishes didn’t last as long as they used to. At this point, I still get pimples here and there but they are gone in a few days. I still have a lot of dark marks and scars that I hope to remedy in a few months when I start the dark mark treatment. Thank you Clearly basics! This is a product that I can finally trust.
PAMELA D. (verified owner) –
I have been struggling with adult acne for 2yrs and this is the first product that has really made a difference and it happened faster than I thought (saw results after about a month of twice daily use). I have the most reactive skin and everything breaks me out, my skin is also dry in some spots and oily in others and this has made the breakouts less frequent (approx 1 pimple a month now instead of 5-10 constantly at all times) and has seemed to make my skin less sensitive overall and less oily. My scarring is significantly better after using this trio for the past 4 months (re-purchased after 3 months cause it was working so well). My pimples that do form now are very small and go away after a day and dont seem to be scarring. This stuff is amazing!!! I was honestly shocked that it worked because I have tried so many different brands and nothing has had any real effect (DE, Biossance, Kiehls). I would say it is a reasonable price too for the products which is a huge bonus and will keep me as a repeat customer.
