Clarify Clearing Retinal (Vitamin A) Serum by Osmosis

🌸 Gentle yet effective! Don’t be scared of the word “gentle”. Unfortunately, we live in a world that often promotes aggressive approaches to skin care (especially when it comes to acne), so it makes sense that when you hear the word “gentle”, your brain automatically jumps to, “it’s probably not strong enough” or “this isn’t going to work”.

Having a mindset of more = better makes complete sense until you truly understand how your skin really works.

For example, harsh treatments/products often lead to adverse effects like: excessive peeling, sun sensitivity, skin sensitization, skin thinning, burning, itching, impaired barrier function, and more!

When adverse reactions like this occur, you are less likely to stick with using that product (because of the adverse reactions it may be causing) or you may even find that using the hars product actually creates new (unwanted) skin issues.

Here at Mood Skin Co., I (Molly your personal licensed esthetician), prefers to take an alternative, holistic approach to caring for the skin. That’s why she loves Osmosis and Korean skincare products since they focus on healing rather than harming. The essence of “holistic” skincare is to reach the root of the problem, rather than just slapping a bandaid on it. This may include wellness supplementing and lifestyle changes as well as topical products!

For a topical approach, Molly loves this acne serum because it focuses on calming inflammation rather than drying the skin out. Clarify Clearing Retinal Serum works with the skin rather than against it to: accelerate the healing process, gently speed up cellular turnover,

✌🏼🤳🏽Safe for teens! Although Clarify can be highly beneficial for adult acne, it is also great option for your teenager that is struggling with acne.

I know, hearing the word Retinal might sound a little intimidating for teen use, BUT I promise, this one is different (as described above).

Retinaldehyde (Retinal) is the most gentle form of Vitamin A you can find on the market. It’s a great alternative for teens that don’t like the harsh burning, stinging, itchy sensations of prescription acne creams!

🫟👚 No more ruining your shirts, sheets, and pillowcases! If you’ve ever used an acne cream from the derm, it likely contained Benzoyl Peroxide or something similar. These types of ingredients easily bleach your clothing (no matter how careful you are).

Rest assured, Clarify Clearing Retinal Serum is nontoxic & does not contain any of those harsh ingredients — so you can wave goodbye 👋🏼 to bleached-out collars, pillows, sheets, towels & more!

On clean skin, apply 1-2 pumps morning and/or evening as a spot treatment. Spritz with Activating Mist (Balance or Infuse) and gently massage into skin. Follow with additional serum(s) and moisturizer if needed.

*Note: When it comes to introducing your skin to Retinal, it’s important to ease your way into the frequency of your applications to prevent skin irritation.

Here’s how:

• 1st week: Apply 1-2 pumps once a day, every other day or every 2 days.

• 2nd week: Apply 1-2 pumps once a day, every day.

• 3rd week: Iif your skin feels ready* then continue on to this step. If not, repeat the last step until it you are ready to bump up your dosage. Apply 1-2 pumps every day, twice per day.

• Reduce frequency of application if irritation, dryness, or peeling occurs. Since everyone skin is different, it’s best to follow your best judgment and increase the frequency of your application as you feel ready.

• The goal is to get to the point of using Clarify Clearing Retinal Serum both AM & PM daily.
