Clarifying Cream is the perfect nighttime retinol cream to help keep your skin clear and prevent future breakouts. It gently targets blemishes without harsh ingredients which can damage the skin over time. We make our Clarifying Cream with proven ingredients that will help to keep your skin clear, reduce oiliness, fight redness and inflammation as well as nourish and hydrate your skin.
Skin Actives Clarifying Cream is best applied at night because it contains retinyl acetate which can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. After your nighttime cleansing, apply a small amount to your face and anywhere else you tend to get excess oil and breakouts. Wear sunscreen daily.
