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.

What’s The Difference Between Face Hero And Clarifying Face Hero?

Plenty. In fact, the only thing these two really have in common is their iconic name. The formulation, how it feels on the skin, how it sinks into the skin, where it sits in your routine, and the anticipated results are unique to each. READ MORE

    Lovely to use but unsure of efficacy

    I have been using this for nearly a month and it has a lovely smell and feels beautiful on the skin, but I can’t say if it has helped my skin at all. If anything my skin (breakouts) is worse than ever, but this could be hormonal rather than due to the product as I am 9 months postpartum. I had used the OG Face Hero many times before and didn’t find it broke me out so I wanted to try this to compare and I would probably go back to OG after this, just because I can’t see the difference.

    Hey Camille! Thanks for your review and feedback. One of the things many people overlook when trying out new products is that it's quite common to go through a kind of 'purge' period. Also! Clarifying Face Hero’s job is to clear breakouts and congested skin, so you may experience some purging in the process. It can usually take about 2-4 weeks for the skin to adjust to using a new product. If you're still experiencing any breakouts after this timeframe, zip us an email! We offer a 30-day returns policy for all items purchased through our website.

    I have been loving the dry oil formulation. So much easier to layer products. It has been good for sensitive skin.
