Dry. Oil. It’s a thing! Sinks in fast and won’t leave a whiff of residue.

Our bestselling, five-star-iest face oil, Face Hero, has gained a formidable new sibling. One who specialises in the business of clearing, balancing, and clarifying blemish-prone skin. It’s a lightweight, non-greasy dry oil that is clinically proven* to reduce the number of pimples, improve the appearance of breakouts, and balance oily skin.

Clarifying Face Hero is made to soothe, support, and restore particularly pissed-off skin. Formulated with 1% bakuchiol (often hyped as nature’s alternative to retinoids) for its powerful antioxidant and antibacterial properties, vitamin F—an essential fatty acid—to promote skin barrier health and hydration, holy basil to protect thou holy skin from thy environmental stressors, and tea tree oil for its antifungal benefits.

This treatment (dry) oil also helps with other common conditions associated with breakouts and pimples (think: skin redness and sebum) as well as helping to reduce the appearance of post-breakout inflammation and pigmentation.

Incorporate this dry oil daily, in the morning and evening (or just once, you do you) to target the multiple causes of breakouts. Clarifying Face Hero works very well with other breakout-y treatments too, like your retinals and your benzoyl peroxides. So don’t be afraid to use these together.

The right oil can work wonders on oily and congested skin. (This is it.)

A kind-to-skin treatment oil that’s been dermatologically tested to be non-comedogenic and nice to sensitive faces.

*Based on an 8 week clinical trial of 28 participants.

In the AM!

Massage 3-5 drops of Clarifying Face Hero into dry skin, directly after cleansing.

Follow on with Very Lightweight Moisturiser and/or your SPF. Always.

In the PM!

In the evening, post-cleanse, exfoliate the skin (have you met Clarifying Exfoliator?) and then apply this as your treatment product. You can apply serums after but if you’re dealing with cranky, active breakouts, we recommend paring back your routine to the bare minimum until things clear.

And a dollop of Very Lightweight Moisturiser—to top it all off.

    Too shiny

    I’ve only used this a few times so far but am not enjoying how oily and shiny this makes my skin look and feel - l already get oiliness throughout the day so it’s something I’m already self-conscious about! I don’t think I can stick with it, sadly. Agree the smell is a bit off-putting as well.

    Hi Stephanie, thank you for your review. We're so sorry your skin hasn't enjoyed this product. Clarifying Face Hero is a lightweight, non-greasy dry oil that has been specifically designed for those with oily, congested, or breakout-y skin. Occasionally, introducing a new product can cause skin to have a negative reaction. Sometimes it can be because your skin needs time to adjust, and sometimes it might just not be the right fit for you, which unfortunately seems like the case here. Don't forget, we do have a 30 day returns policy for items purchased through our website, so just drop us an email at info@gotoskincare.com if you'd like further assistance!

    Purging hardcore

    I purchased this from Mecca for the beauty loop hehe. It was purchased with the intention of being a pregnancy safe alternative to retinol. I’m not pregnant just trying alternatives for when I am. I’m around 3 weeks into using it and my goodness I’m purging so bad. I don’t know what it is but I’m noticing so many blackheads on my forehead and around my brows. Whiteheads around my nose. So gross. Not enjoying it. I’ll continue to use up the bottle as the studies are based on an 8 week trial. I hope the purging stops shortly.

    Hi Brooklyn, thank you for your review! When introducing new products into your routine or trialing new ingredients your skin can take some time to adjust. Clarifying Face Hero is non-comedogenic and its job is to clear breakouts and congested skin, so you may experience some purging in the process. Clarifying Face Hero will work best on active breakouts and congestion, but consistent use will help prevent future breakouts as well. If you have any further questions please shoot us an email and we will be happy to further assist you!

    My new hero!

    I've been suffering from constant breakouts on my chin for the past 6 months and nothing I've tried has worked until I tried clarifying face hero. Within a couple of weeks of use the breakouts have stopped and redness has reduced. Very happy with this product!!

    The new hero

    After using original face hero this one is much better and doesn’t feel as thick or like I just put olive oil on my face. The only reason it’s lost a star is it smells a bit. It’s nice to know it’s not full of chemicals to enhance the smell but it’s a little bit rank. As soon as it’s rubbed in you can’t smell it though.
