My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Clarins CLEAR-OUT Targeted treatment for blemishes is primarily intended for skin prone to imperfections, particularly localized pimples and occasional breakouts. The Clarins brand offers a targeted solution designed for teenagers and adults dealing with mild to moderate acne or temporary imperfections. My analysis of the formula reveals a desire to combine anti-blemish effectiveness with respect for the skin's balance, thanks to the combination of purifying, soothing, and rebalancing active ingredients.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Salicylic acid : This keratolytic active ingredient penetrates the pores to gently exfoliate, unclog, and limit the formation of new blemishes. It is known for its effectiveness on pimples and blackheads.
• Meadowsweet extract Rich in anti-inflammatory compounds, it helps to soothe redness and regulate sebum production, thereby reducing shine and bacterial proliferation.
• Prebiotics (alpha-glucan oligosaccharide, lactobacillus) They promote the balance of the skin's microbiota, strengthening the skin's natural barrier and limiting the imbalances responsible for breakouts.

The presence of denatured alcohol quickly dries out pimples, but may irritate sensitive skin. Plant extracts (hibiscus, purslane, green tea) provide antioxidant and soothing properties.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this treatment locally, directly onto the blemish, preferably in the evening after cleansing. It can be used as part of an anti-acne routine, but I avoid combining it with other irritating active ingredients (retinoids, high concentrations of AHA/BHA) to limit the risk of sensitization. Compatible with non-comedogenic moisturizers.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Clarins product stands out for its targeted effectiveness, fast action, and formula enriched with plant-based active ingredients and prebiotics. Its main advantage lies in the balance it strikes between purifying and respecting the skin. One drawback: the presence of alcohol and essential oils may not be suitable for very sensitive skin. My opinion: a good choice for treating occasional blemishes, to be incorporated into a suitable routine.
