The cause is rarely poor hygiene but a complex combination of excess sebum, dead skin cells blocking the pore, hormonal fluctuations, and the bacterial balance on the skin. An acne routine that addresses only one of these factors — such as an aggressive cleanser or a spot treatment — often works temporarily and eventually leads to dry, sensitive skin that actually produces more sebum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCosmedix Clarity is a targeted clarifying serum that combines retinol and salicylic acid in one formula, supplemented with niacinamide, tea tree oil, and soothing botanicals like willow herb and aloe vera. The serum works on multiple levels simultaneously: it exfoliates the pore, reduces sebum production, calms inflammation, and strengthens the skin barrier. Suitable for use on the entire face or as a targeted spot treatment on problem areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.375rem] font-bold\"\u003eBenefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eReduces the visibility of pimples, blackheads, and impurities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRegulates sebum production without drying out the skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFades acne scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSoothes redness with willow herb and aloe vera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSuitable for daily use on the entire face or as a spot treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eActive ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetinol and Retinyl Acetate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two forms of vitamin A that stimulate cell renewal and keep the pore clear. Retinol normalizes keratinization — the process where dead skin cells block the pore — which is the root cause of blackheads and pimples. Moreover, retinol refines skin texture and fades post-acne pigmentation spots in the long term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic Acid and Acetylsalicylic Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e A beta-hydroxy acid that is oil-soluble and can therefore penetrate deep into the pore.

Acetylsalicylic acid additionally works as an anti-inflammatory on existing pimples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNiacinamide (vitamin B3):\u003c\/strong\u003e An ingredient with a broad spectrum of action that delivers three effects simultaneously for impure skin: it regulates sebum production, reduces the visibility of redness, and strengthens the skin barrier. A often overlooked ingredient that makes the difference between irritated acne-prone skin and a controlled, recovering skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia):\u003c\/strong\u003e An essential oil with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, traditionally used for acne.

Clarity is a leave-on serum with retinol and salicylic acid applied after cleansing and stays on the skin for hours. The two are complementary: Clarify cleanses the skin, Clarity treats the skin. Many users combine both in the same routine for maximum results on acne-prone skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen will I see the first results from Clarity?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe first improvement in oil control and skin texture is usually visible after 2 to 4 weeks. For structural reduction of pimples and blackheads, daily use for 8 to 12 weeks is needed. Acne scars and pigmentation spots take the longest — three to six months — for visible fading. The skin may go through a 'purging phase' in the first weeks, where underlying impurities come to the surface. This is normal and will disappear on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I use Clarity during pregnancy or breastfeeding?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNo. The formula contains both retinol and salicylic acid — both ingredients that are not recommended during these periods. For a safe acne routine during pregnancy, alternatives are available such as a serum with only niacinamide or low-concentration glycolic acid. Consult your midwife or skin therapist for personalized advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I combine Clarity with other retinol products like Serum 16 or Define?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNot on the same evening — that causes an overdose of retinol. If you already use a retinol serum, it’s better to use Clarity as a targeted spot treatment on problem areas rather than the whole face. Or alternate both products on different evenings of the week. If in doubt, consult a skin therapist for a tailored schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs Clarity suitable for sensitive skin?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe formula contains denatured alcohol and both retinol and salicylic acid, which can cause irritation in very sensitive skin in some cases. If you have sensitive skin, it’s best to start every other day and gradually increase use. For very reactive skin with impurities, a milder approach is better — for example, only Clarify (cleanser with salicylic acid) combined with Cell ID or Affirm for care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is a 'purging phase' and how long does it last?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePurging is a temporary worsening of breakouts in the first weeks of retinol or salicylic acid use, caused by underlying impurities surfacing more quickly. It usually lasts 4 to 6 weeks and is a sign that the product is working. A persistent worsening after six weeks is no longer purging and may indicate the product is unsuitable — in that case, pause use and seek advice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmedix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56635832140107,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6908\/7307\/files\/aa019f149caa2342b63a257dd36e3fad69c50079.jpg?v=1779224292","url":"https:\/\/webshop.glamskin.nl\/en\/products\/cosmedix-clarity-30ml","provider":"Glam Skin Webshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
