Clear skin isn't about stripping it bare — it's about restoring balance. The Act Clarifying Face Serum is a targeted, lightweight treatment formulated to tackle breakouts, congestion, and excess oil at the source, without compromising the skin's hydration or barrier. Powered by salicylic acid, quaternium-73, and a unique fermented mineral complex, it gently clears pores, calms inflammation, and helps regulate sebum — delivering visibly clearer skin over time.

Infused with tea tree essential oil and niacinamide, this serum goes beyond surface-level treatment. Niacinamide works to visibly minimise pores and even skin tone, while tea tree provides natural antibacterial support. Light, fast-absorbing, and unscented — it layers comfortably under moisturiser and SPF, making it a seamless addition to any daily routine.

  • Targets breakouts and congestion
  • Unclogs and refines pores
  • Regulates excess oil production
  • Reduces post-breakout marks
  • Soothes redness and inflammation
  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture
  • Fragrance-free
  • Vegan & cruelty-free

Salicylic acid — A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells — reducing blackheads, congestion, and the frequency of breakouts.

Quaternium-73 — An advanced antimicrobial active that targets acne-causing bacteria at the source, helping to reduce breakouts without the harshness of traditional acne treatments.

Niacinamide (vitamin B3) — Regulates sebum production, visibly minimises pores, and helps fade post-breakout marks — making it one of the most effective multi-tasking actives for acne-prone skin.

Fermented mineral complex — A unique blend of zinc, copper, magnesium, iron, and silica ferments that support skin clarity, balance oil production, and promote a healthier-looking complexion.

Tea tree essential oil — A natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory botanical that soothes active breakouts, reduces redness, and helps prevent new blemishes from forming.

Glycerin & arginine — Hydrating agents that ensure the formula treats without over-drying — maintaining comfort and moisture balance even for oily and acne-prone skin types.

After toning, apply 2–3 drops to clean fingertips and press gently onto areas prone to breakouts or congestion.
Allow to absorb fully before applying moisturiser. Use daily — morning and/or evening. For sensitive skin, begin with evening use only and gradually introduce to morning routine.

Always follow with SPF in the morning, as salicylic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
