Samantha's Clinical advice

Clarify is a lightweight, oil-free, water-based hydrator formulated to rebalance oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin.

Cucumber extract, salicylic acid, and barosma betulina work in synergy to regulate oil production, unclog pores, and help clear acne and blemishes. Whilst also supporting skin prone to perioral and seborrheic dermatitis and post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) for a clearer, more even complexion.

What many don’t realise is that oily skin can also be dehydrated. When moisture levels drop, the skin overproduces oil to compensate—exacerbating congestion and imbalance. For this reason, we infused Clarify with hydrating humectants — urea and hyaluronic acid, which deliver deep, cellular hydration and restore moisture balance from within.

Barrier-strengthening ceramides complete the formula, reinforcing your skin’s natural defences and promoting long-term clarity and resilience.

The result? Skin that feels calm, hydrated, and in harmony—so you can feel confident in your complexion again.

Benefits

Helps reduce breakouts and acne
Targets surface blemishes and inflammation
Lightweight, non-comedogenic formula
Decongests and purifies clogged pores

How to use

Apply a thin layer to your face, neck, and décolleté every morning and evening.

Pro Tip 1: Layer Clarify Gel over our B+ Skin Shot to help regulate oil production, prevent breakouts, and minimise the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Pro Tip 2: For an indulgent overnight smoothie mask, apply Clarify as the final step over H2O Skin Shot in your evening routine. Wake up to velvety-smooth glass-skin glow.

Pro Tip 3: Prep with Harmony (Coming soon), then apply 4–5 pumps of Clarify to control oil further, minimise blackheads, and reduce congestion.

Key ingredients

Kiwi Seed Oil: Helps regulate sebum production and offers antimicrobial protection to combat acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation and promoting clearer skin.

Salicylic Acid: A gentle keratolytic exfoliant that clears congestion, prevents comedones, and smooths texture—ideal for breakout-prone, oily skin.

Barosma Betulina Leaf Extract: Rich in natural diosmin, this plant extract helps reduce the formation of sebocytes (oil-producing cells), effectively controlling excess oil and shine.

Bearberry Leaf Extract: A natural brightening agent that helps fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and supports a more even, radiant skin tone.

Cucumber Hydrosol: This soothing botanical water cools, calms irritation, hydrates lightly, and helps tighten pores—perfect for balancing oily and combination skin types.

Hyaluronic Acid: A moisture-binding humectant that attracts up to 1,000 times its weight in water, helping to hydrate and balance oil levels without clogging pores.

Chaz Colston – February 25, 2022

Fantastic gel moisturizer and amazing customer service. This formula works perfect for my combination/acne prone skin. Samantha truly cares about her customers and her products. I had been searching for really well formulated skin care for quite a while before I found out about Naked Chemist and I hit the gold mine with these products. I hope her and her team continue all the great work because she has got herself a lifelong customer.

I’ve been using this for about 2 months, and I absolutely love it. It’s so light but also really moisturising, my skin feels so smooth and plump after use.

Jalela Muhyieddeen – September 26, 2020

I layered this with resq and the next morning my face was clearer , that’s just from one use! Can’t imagine the results with continuous use, I tried resq alone which works nicely but with this under resq it’s even better
- Samantha Miller – September 27, 2020
  
  Hi Jalela
  
  So glad you are enjoying the product, but more importantly that you are getting results, which has to be what using intelligently formed skincare is all about. We really appreciate the feedback. Samantha

Krystal – March 8, 2020

I love this gel moisturiser! Have been using it over the summer as my skin is more oily during the summer months. It feels amazing as it is so light weight so I am not getting that oily shine throughout the day:) Thank you for recommending Samantha!
- Samantha Miller – March 9, 2020
  
  Krystal I am so glad you are receiving the results you want with this product, and that you took my advice and layered with Resq. Thank you so much for taking the time to review Equilibrium for me. Samantha
