Clear skin isn't about stripping it bare - it's about restoring balance. A targeted, lightweight treatment tackles breakouts, congestion, and excess oil at the source, without compromising hydration or barrier health. Salicylic acid, quaternium-73, and a fermented mineral complex gently clear pores and regulate sebum, while tea tree oil and niacinamide add natural antibacterial support and even skin tone. Light, fast-absorbing, and unscented.

  • Unclogs and refines pores
  • Regulates excess oil production
  • Reduces post-breakout marks
  • Soothes redness and inflammation
  • Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture
  • Fragrance-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.

What does it do?

A targeted treatment for breakouts, congestion, and excess oil - salicylic acid clears pores of oil and dead skin, while niacinamide regulates sebum and fades post-breakout marks, without stripping the skin's hydration or barrier.

Who is it for?

Suitable for acne-prone and oily skin.

Does it contain salicylic acid - is that safe daily?

Yes, and it's the core active - always use SPF during the day since salicylic acid increases sun sensitivity. For sensitive skin, start with evening use only and introduce morning use gradually.

How do I use it, and how often?

Apply 2-3 drops to clean fingertips after toning, pressing gently onto breakout-prone or congested areas. Allow to absorb before moisturizer. Use daily, morning and/or evening.

Are there any contraindications?

For external use only. Contains salicylic acid - always use SPF during the day. Avoid contact with eyes. Patch test recommended for sensitive skin. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use.

What is the shelf life?

2 years unopened, 4 months once opened.
