Everything you need to know about CLEARSTEM Skincare Clearity The Blackhead Dissolver Serum

Overview

What it is

This product is a serum formulated for use on various skin types, including acne-prone, dry, mature, sensitive, combination, and normal. It is designed to exfoliate the skin and help in the removal of excess sebum and impurities. The serum contains a blend of acids to support exfoliation and includes Vitamin C derivatives, which are known for their brightening properties. It aims to improve the appearance of skin brightness and clarity.

Key ingredients and their functions

  • Mandelic Acid - exfoliating agent
  • Lactic Acid - exfoliating agent
  • Ascorbic Acid - antioxidant
  • Glycerin - humectant
  • Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract - astringent
  • Sodium PCA - humectant
  • Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract - antioxidant
  • Hesperidin - bioflavonoid

How it works

The exfoliating serum works by combining several acids, such as Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid, which serve as exfoliants to help remove dead skin cells and clear pores. Ascorbic Acid, a form of Vitamin C, acts as an antioxidant, aiming to brighten the skin and enhance its appearance. Glycerin and Sodium PCA function as humectants, attracting moisture to the skin to maintain hydration. Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract adds an astringent quality, which can help in refining the skin's texture. Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract provides antioxidant benefits. Hesperidin, a bioflavonoid, contributes to the antioxidant profile of the serum. Together, these ingredients work to promote smoother, more even-toned skin.

Incredible Serum

This serum is nothing short of amazing. It penetrates deeply delivering high quality products to fight problem areas, while not compromising the skin barrier. I have noticed that this works incredibly as a preventable step to lower the chances of future breakouts, while simultaneously clearing the post-inflammatory scars. I can say with all confidence, that I will repurchase.

Worst Breakout of My Life! :(

I've had mild hormonal acne for 15 years and have been able to keep it moderately under control with no scarring (often just residual redness). I am disappointed to say that this serum did not work for me at all; not only did I have the worst breakout of my life, but it has also left me with excessive blackheads that keep returning no matter what I do, as well as somewhat deep, pitted scars! Since discontinuing use, my breakouts have lessened in severity, but I have been left with a large number of closed comedones and highly textured/bumpy skin, which is not normal for me. I'm honestly not sure what triggered such a response; I might be allergic to one of the ingredients. It also never felt like it absorbed into my skin, but rather sat on it like an outer layer, perhaps contributing to some of my issues. It is such a bummer because the reviews are so good and the ingredients seem excellent.

No difference

I was really hoping that a product labeled blackhead dissolver would change the appearance of the blackheads on my nose. I have seen no change. I don't have acne on any part of my face, just blackheads on my nose. Possibly if my skin was worse I would see a difference. For the price, I am really disappointed though as I'm also using more of their products.
