FAQ

Why does Clarify feel oily?
Unlike other salicylic toners, Clarify has a naturally oily texture. This is because it contains supporting ingredients that nourish and hydrate the skin, to avoid stripping skin of its natural oils. It won’t clog pores because it is non-comedogenic.

I have sensitive skin. Will Clarify irritate my skin?
No. Clarify is formulated with a unique blend of plant-extracted oils and non-comedogenic ingredients that work together to rebalance the skin’s natural oils. It has been clinically tested and approved by dermatologists as non-irritating and kind to skin.

Since I started using Clarify, my skin seems to be getting worse?
This is called purging, and it is your skin’s reaction to a new active ingredient that is increasing cell turnover rate. Blackheads, whiteheads, papules, and pre-pimples get pushed to the surface before fresh, healthy skin shines through.

Clarify is stinging my skin. Is this normal?
A slight stinging sensation is normal and is simply a sign that the active ingredient is working.

Is it okay to use Clarify every day?
Clarify can be used every day and even twice daily on problem areas if required. We recommend starting 2/3 times per week with Clarify and building up as your skin gets used to the new ingredient.

Can Clarify be used when pregnant or breastfeeding?
Topical salicylic acid is a pregnancy and breastfeeding safe ingredient. Please consult your doctor or gynaecologist if you have any particular concerns.
