  • Get a Feel For It +

    BHA Clarifying Serum is a fast-acting exfoliating serum that reduces breakouts by clearing clogged pores and lessening the appearance of blackheads for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

    • Clears clogged pores and excess sebum to prevent future breakouts


    • Minimizes the appearance of blackheads and bumps for a smoother texture


    • Fades unwanted post-breakout discoloration to reveal more even-toned skin


    • Gentle, non-drying formula, suitable for sensitive, acne-prone skin


    • A great complement to harsh acne treatments for managing the side effects of dryness and flakiness
  • How To: The Renée Way +

    Apply 1-2 pumps to face after cleansing and toning. Depending on the condition of your skin's barrier, a tingling sensation may or may not occur, but this is not an indicator of product effectiveness. Follow with a moisturizer for your skin type.

In the Treatment Room

For keeping pores clear, see an esthetician to have them manually extracted then use BHA Clarifying Serum to prevent them from coming back.
Clogged pores are hardened oil that creates a blockage in the skin, leading to future breakouts. A consistent pore-clearing routine keeps skin smooth and clear.
Salicylic acid is the gold standard for clearing pores. Unlike water-soluble acids, it’s oil-soluble, so it can dissolve pore-clogging oil, and its effectiveness is backed by the FDA for acne.
Clogged pores can appear on the cheeks from cream blushes or dirty brushes. Be mindful of what you're applying and wash your makeup brushes regularly.

    Helps with congested once it starts to become visible

    Definitely helps with acne as it is forming but for me, at least, it doesn't help to prevent. I use regularly. It's definitely a must-have part of my routine.

    Great for preventing clogged pores.

    This keeps the pores on my nose and chin from getting clogged. While I am older, I still have a very oily chin and nose .

    Wow

    I used as directed for a couple weeks and I can’t believe how clear and smooth my skin is . My skin is usually constantly very clogged and oily. It seems like every morning after I use this ✨magic potion✨ my face is a step clearer and less bumpy
