About For breakout-prone skin that's been through the gauntlet and has the barrier damage to prove it. Especially: Adult skin dealing with breakouts Skin that's tried benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or prescription retinoids but feels drier and more sensitive now Acne-prone skin that flushes, reacts, or leans toward redness Anyone whose post-breakout dark spots stick around Formulated around 15% azelaic acid, an active originally developed for rosacea-prone skin and shown in research at this concentration to perform comparably to dermatologist-ordered products for mild to moderate acne. It works on three fronts at once: antimicrobial action against acne-causing bacteria, anti-inflammatory action that calms the redness and swelling around active breakouts, and gradual fading of the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that breakouts leave behind. All without the stinging, peeling, or barrier damage that comes with most actives at this efficacy level. The azelaic acid is paired with rose hydrosol, jojoba oil, and green tea extract, the calming and barrier-supporting cast that lets the active do its work without your skin paying for it. All ingredients dosed for functional skin benefits, not marketing. A note for our celiac and gluten-sensitive customers: azelaic acid is derived from wheat, rye, and barley, so this product is not safe for you. How to Use After washing your face, leave skin damp and apply a pea-sized amount of Clear Skin Potion to your entire face and neck, avoiding the delicate skin around your eyes. Apply a moisturizer like Hydrating Gel and/or Ayurvedic Facial Oil while still damp. Start use 1X/day in the evenings, can increase to 2X/day if needed. Ingredients We believe in total transparency.
