Professional Recommendation
This is the daily workhorse of the Clear Skin line, and it is worth choosing when skin looks congested and shiny by midday rather than dry or tight. The official directions matter more than usual here: dilute a pea-sized amount with water in your hands first, then massage it over face and neck in circular motions for one to three minutes, remove it completely with a damp face cloth and finish with a toner. Undiluted or rushed, it will feel far stronger than it needs to.
Start with one cleanse a day — evening — for the first week, then add a morning cleanse if skin still feels comfortable. The yogurt contributes lactic acid and the formula carries tea tree oil, so hold off on stacking a new exfoliant or peel in the same period; give this one time to show what it does on its own. Daytime SPF belongs in the routine, since a clarifying cleanse can leave skin feeling more exposed. Compared with its neighbours in the line, this is the every-day step: the Clear Skin Probiotic Masque is the weekly, more concentrated one, and the Clear Skin Starter Set is the way to try the routine as a whole before committing to the full 8.4 fl oz bottle. For congested-looking skin, a salon facial or a HydraFacial at Beauty Ambassade is a useful reset alongside home care.
Safety Information
For external use only. Keep the cleanser away from the immediate eye area — it is not an eye makeup remover — and rinse with water if it gets into your eyes. Always dilute with water before applying, and remove it fully rather than leaving residue on the skin. If you have not used tea tree oil before, patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Stop use if redness, stinging or itching persists after rinsing, and keep the bottle closed and out of reach of children.
Not recommended for:
- Anyone with an almond or tree-nut sensitivity — the formula contains sweet almond milk.
- Anyone with a known sensitivity to tea tree oil or other essential oils.
- Broken, freshly waxed or otherwise compromised skin, or skin that feels sore after time in the sun.
- Removing eye makeup or cleansing the lash line.
- Very dry or tight-feeling skin that needs a cream cleanser rather than a clarifying one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do the three Clear Skin products work together?
They cover different frequencies of the same routine. This cleanser is the daily step that clears away oil and debris; the Clear Skin Probiotic Masque is the weekly step that sits on the skin longer and works on the look of congestion; and the Clear Skin Starter Set bundles the line in travel sizes so you can trial the sequence first.
What order do I apply them in?
Cleanse first with this product, then tone. On masque days, apply the Clear Skin Probiotic Masque to freshly cleansed skin, remove it, then tone and moisturize. The masque never goes on before cleansing, and the cleanser is never left on the skin as a mask.
How much should I use, and can I use it twice a day?
A pea-sized amount diluted with water is enough for face and neck. Once daily in the evening is a safe start; move to morning and evening only if skin stays comfortable.
Do I still need a toner afterwards?
Yes — the official directions finish with toner, and it helps skin settle after a clarifying cleanse. The Lime Refresh Tonique suits normal to oily skin at that step.
Can I use it on my back or chest?
The directions cover face and neck. If you want to extend a routine to the body, ask during an online skincare consultation or look at salon body care rather than improvising.
