Designed for all skin types and packaged as a non-comedogenic, gluten-free, cruelty-free formula, it serves as both an exfoliant and a brightening treatment in a single 40 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly will I notice blackheads diminishing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany users report visible softening or reduction of blackheads within a short application window, especially when used consistently. The mandelic acid works to loosen debris in pores while the formula's pH and acid blend encourage gentle surface exfoliation for faster results than milder everyday cleansers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVisible softening often reported within 10 minutes of application on targeted areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent nightly use for 10–14 days improves overall pore clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombination of acid blend and balanced pH reduces buildup without over-stripping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe serum uses mandelic acid, an AHA known for being gentler than some stronger acids, making it a good candidate for sensitive or acne-prone skin when introduced gradually. Start with night-only applications and monitor skin response; reduce frequency if redness or discomfort occurs until tolerance builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBegin with once-nightly use for the first week or two to allow skin to adjust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatch-test behind the ear or inner forearm before full-face use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-comedogenic formulation reduces risk of pore-clogging reactions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this replace my vitamin C serum and how should I layer it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the formula contains stabilized vitamin C bioflavonoids, you typically don’t need a separate vitamin C product in the same routine. In the morning use a dedicated sunscreen after the serum; at night it can be used alone or as the active step after cleansing and before moisturizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eContains stabilized vitamin C—skip an extra vitamin C serum to avoid layering actives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse after cleansing and toning, before richer creams or oils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply sunscreen during the day when acids are used regularly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I introduce this into my skincare routine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce the serum gradually to minimize irritation: apply at night only for the first 7–14 days, then increase frequency or add a morning application if tolerated. Keep other strong actives (like retinoids or high-concentration acids) spaced apart to reduce sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeek 1–2: night use only, 2–3 times weekly if very reactive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAfter tolerance builds: nightly or morning and night per product guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvoid combining with other exfoliating treatments on the same night.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: CLEARSTEM CLEARITY is aimed at anyone seeking a targeted solution for blackheads and dull skin—especially people looking for a gentler AHA option that also delivers brightening with stabilized vitamin C. It suits all skin types if introduced carefully, and is a good fit for those who prefer multi-benefit serums in a gluten-free, cruelty-free, non-comedogenic formula. Avoid if you have a known allergy to any listed ingredients; consult a dermatologist for complex skin conditions or if you use prescription actives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater\/Aqua\/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Extract*, Sodium Hyaluronate, Mandelic Acid, Propanediol, Glycerin, Hamamalis Virginiana (Witch Hazel)*, Arginine, Glycolic Acid, Gluconolactone, Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Sclerotium Gum, Pullulan, Hydroxyacetophenone, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Sodium Lactate, Citric Acid, Sodium PCA, Malic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Pyruvic Acid, Tartaric Acid, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Magnesium PCA, Copper PCA, Zinc PCA, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Glucosyl Hesperidin, Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract, Sodium, Ubiquinone, Phenethyl Alcohol, Pentylene Glycol, Ethyl 2-Methylbutyrate, Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Peel Oil, Allyl Caproate, Raspberry Ketone, Maltol, Heliotropine, Vanillin, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Triethyl Citrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How often should I use the mandelic acid serum?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Start at night only for 7–14 days, then increase to nightly or morning and night if tolerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this serum replace my vitamin C product?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—stabilized vitamin C bioflavonoids are included, so a separate vitamin C serum is usually unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"CLEARSTEM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58344428208515,"sku":"B0GLQX3XTL","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/2696\/0515\/files\/clearstem-clearity-front-packaging.jpg?v=1782588536","url":"https:\/\/origin-beauty.com\/products\/clearstem-mandelic-acid-blackhead-dissolver-serum-40ml-8-aha-stabilized-vitamin-c-brightening","provider":"Origin Beauty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
