The Clarity Routine is a three-step routine for breakout-prone, congested skin — tea tree and charcoal to lift buildup, 10% niacinamide for more even tone, an oil-free gel to calm. It supports the look of clearer skin without stripping. The three together, bought separately: $124. Free shipping on every order. 30-day full-refund guarantee. What's included. The Clearing Cleanser with tea tree and charcoal clears buildup without stripping, on a sulfate-free base. The Clarity Serum with 10% niacinamide is the active step, one of the most-studied ingredients for the look of a balanced, less-congested complexion. The Balance Gel with green tea and bisabolol is the oil-free finish that keeps the surface calm. Who it's for. This routine suits people with breakout-prone, congested, or oily skin, who want to manage breakouts without stripping the barrier, who prefer niacinamide and soothing botanicals over harsh benzoyl peroxide, or who want to reduce the look of redness alongside clearing. It's not the right fit if you have very dry skin with no congestion, need prescription-strength treatment, or prefer a minimal one- or two-step routine. Why it works. The breakout-routine mistake most people make is confusing dryness with cleanliness — the tight, squeaky feeling of a sulfate cleanser reads as clean but leaves a stressed surface that can look worse over time. This routine clears without stripping, then keeps the surface calm. The Clearing Cleanser lifts sebum and debris with charcoal and tea tree on a sulfate-free base. The Clarity Serum brings 10% niacinamide — no recovery period, no added sun sensitivity (Bissett 2004). The Balance Gel finishes with green tea and bisabolol in an oil-free format. One honest boundary: persistent, severe, or painful breakouts are worth a conversation with a dermatologist, not a routine alone. How to use it. Step 1, cleanse with the Clearing Cleanser on damp skin, 30 to 60 seconds, rinse, AM and PM. Step 2, apply the Clarity Serum after cleansing; in the morning follow with non-comedogenic SPF. Step 3, apply the Balance Gel last, AM and PM. Use consistently for 6 to 8 weeks before evaluating. What to expect. Weeks one to two, a calmer surface as charcoal and tea tree clear congestion while botanicals calm the look of redness. Weeks three to five, more balanced-looking skin. Weeks six to twelve, clearer and more even, with the look of post-blemish marks softening. The full ingredient lists.
