CLEARSTEM CLEARITY Mandelic Acid Blackhead Dissolver Serum — 8% AHA, Vitamin C & Collagen Support, 1.35 fl oz

CLEARSTEM CLEARITY Blackhead Dissolver is an 8% mandelic acid serum formulated to gently exfoliate, unclog pores, and brighten skin while delivering stabilized vitamin C and collagen-supporting ingredients.

This lightweight serum blends an acid mix with a specific pH and bioflavonoid-stabilized vitamin C to target blackheads, surface oil, and dullness without harsh stripping. Designed as a daily-to-nighttime exfoliant you introduce gradually, it pairs resurfacing power with antioxidants like turmeric and collagen-boosting support for smoother, clearer-looking skin.

How quickly will I see blackheads reduce?

Many users notice visible softening or reduction of blackheads within minutes to days as mandelic acid starts to loosen debris and oil in pores. Continued use over 2–4 weeks improves texture and reduces recurrence as the serum promotes gentle resurfacing.

• 8% mandelic acid targets pore-clogging oil and dead skin.
• Specific pH helps acids work efficiently without excessive irritation.
• Use nightly at first; visible effects can appear after 10 minutes to several days.

Can I replace my vitamin C serum with this product?

Yes — CLEARSTEM CLEARITY includes stabilized vitamin C bioflavonoids, so a separate vitamin C step isn’t required. It delivers antioxidant protection while the acids resurface, simplifying your routine.

• Stabilized vitamin C bioflavonoids included for brightness.
• Formulated to combine exfoliation and antioxidant benefits in one bottle.
• Reduces need for an extra daytime vitamin C product when used correctly.

Is this suitable for sensitive or all skin types?

The formula is crafted to be gentler than stronger AHAs because mandelic acid has a larger molecular size and penetrates more slowly. Still, you should introduce the serum gradually, observing skin tolerance and avoiding over-exfoliation.

• Gentler 8% mandelic acid blend for less irritation risk.
• Start with nighttime use for 1–2 weeks, then increase frequency as tolerated.
• Non-comedogenic and free of hormone disruptors; suitable for most skin types.

How should I add this serum into my routine safely?

Begin by applying a small amount at night to clean, dry skin; do not layer multiple strong exfoliants. After skin adjusts, you can use it more often and incorporate morning use if desired, always following with sunscreen during the day.

• Week 1–2: use at night only to allow skin to acclimate.
• After 10–14 days: consider morning application if no irritation occurs.
• Always apply broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use; avoid combining with other strong acids or retinoids without spacing them.

Who is this for? CLEARSTEM CLEARITY Blackhead Dissolver is for people seeking a targeted, multitasking serum that softens and reduces blackheads while delivering brightening vitamin C and supportive botanicals. It’s especially helpful for those wanting a gentler AHA option than glycolic acid, users looking to simplify their antioxidant step, and anyone aiming to improve pore clarity and skin texture with consistent, careful use.
