      Clarify is a beautiful product leaving my skin feeling replenished

      The results after 4 weeks of trialing Clarify leave me excited to continue this product.

      A lovely addition to the Pestle & Mortar range.

      My skin has most definitely improved & a noticeable decrease in blackheads.

      My forehead area has responded the best, noticeable also my nose and chin & I believe continued use on my cheeks will reap the benefits.

      Will I continue to use..most definitely 100% YES!

    01
    What skin types is Clarify suitable for?

    Clarify is formulated for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin but is suitable for all skin types that experience congestion or breakouts.

    02
    How often should I use Clarify?

    Clarify is formulated for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin but is suitable for all skin types that experience congestion or breakouts.

    03
    Can I use Clarify if I have sensitive skin?

    Yes, Clarify is formulated with soothing ingredients like oat extract and niacinamide to help reduce irritation. If you have sensitive skin, introduce it slowly and patch-test before use. Use a sunscreen every day when using this product.

    04
    Can I use Clarify while pregnant/breastfeeding?

    Salicylic acid is generally considered safe, but if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.

    05
    What makes salicylic acid different from glycolic or lactic acid?

    Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta hydroxy acid), meaning it penetrates deeper into pores to clear congestion and control oil. In contrast, glycolic and lactic acids (AHAs) exfoliate the skin’s surface, making them better suited for texture and brightness rather than deep pore cleansing.

    06
    Why does Clarify make my skin tingle?

    A slight tingling sensation is normal and indicates that salicylic acid is actively working to clear pores and exfoliate dead skin cells.

    07
    Will Clarify dry out my skin?

    No, Clarify is formulated with hydrating and soothing ingredients like niacinamide and oat kernel extract to help maintain moisture balance while exfoliating.

    08
    Is Clarify cruelty-free and vegan?

    Yes, all Pestle & Mortar products are cruelty-free and vegan.

    09
    Does Clarify contain any artificial fragrance?

    We do not use artificial fragrances or synthetic perfumes in our skincare products. Clarify is fragrance-free.

    WHY IT WORKS

    With 2% salicylic acid, Clarify works by dissolving oil and debris trapped inside pores, preventing breakouts before they start. Unlike harsh astringents, this BHA-powered toner exfoliates while soothing the skin, thanks to oat extract and niacinamide, which help calm redness and strengthen the skin barrier. Papaya and mango extracts provide gentle enzymatic exfoliation, enhancing skin clarity without irritation.

    WHAT IT DOES
    • Minimises Pores
    • Mattifies
    • Detoxifies
    • Refines texture
