Key Ingredients Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser (30 ml) Clear Skin Probiotic Masque (15 ml) Clear Skin Willow Bark Booster-Serum (15 ml) Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer (15 ml) Cosmetic bag Conscious FormulaEminence Organics states that its formulas are made without parabens, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulfate or propylene glycol and are not tested on animals. Available Size4 travel-size products with cosmetic bag Professional RecommendationThis set exists for two situations: you want to try the Clear Skin routine as a whole before buying full sizes, or you already use it and need a version that fits in a carry-on. Buying the four steps separately in full size is a much larger commitment, and skin that runs oily and congested-looking does not always suit a clarifying line — the travel sizes let you find out over a few weeks instead of guessing. The cosmetic bag makes it a straightforward gift as well. Use the steps in the order they are designed for rather than all at maximum frequency from day one. Cleanser and moisturizer are the daily pair; add the booster-serum once skin has settled, and keep the masque to once a week at first. Several of the formulas share tea tree oil, and the cleanser contains sweet almond milk, so patch test if essential oils or nuts are a concern for you. Keep daytime SPF in the routine. Compared with the other Eminence starter sets — the Firm Skin Starter Set for the look of firmness, the Bright Skin Starter Set for even-looking tone, the Calm Skin Starter Set for easily reddened skin — this one is aimed squarely at oil and congestion. If you are choosing between them, an online skincare consultation settles it quickly. Safety InformationFor external use only. Each product in the set has its own directions on the label — read them before you start, since the cleanser and masque are both meant to be emulsified with water. Keep all four away from the immediate eye area and rinse with water on contact. Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours if tea tree oil or nut-derived ingredients are new to you. Stop using any item that leaves lasting redness, stinging or itching, and store the set closed, away from direct heat, and out of reach of children. Not recommended for: Anyone with an almond or tree-nut sensitivity — the cleanser contains sweet almond milk. Anyone with a known sensitivity to tea tree oil or other essential oils. Broken, freshly waxed or otherwise compromised skin, or skin that feels sore after time in the sun. Very dry or tight-feeling skin, which is better served by a richer line. Use around the eyes or on the lips. Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do the Clear Skin products work together? They are one routine at different frequencies. The Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser handles the daily removal of oil and debris, the booster-serum is the daily treatment layer, the moisturizer finishes and keeps skin comfortable, and the Clear Skin Probiotic Masque is the weekly step that stays on the skin for five to ten minutes. What order do I apply them in? Cleanse, then masque on masque days only, then booster-serum, then moisturizer — lightest texture to richest, with the rinse-off steps first. A normal day is cleanser, serum, moisturizer; a masque day inserts the masque straight after cleansing and before the serum. Should I start all four at once? You can, but adding them in stages tells you more. Cleanser and moisturizer for the first week, booster-serum in the second, masque once a week from the third. How long will the set last? That depends entirely on how much you use and how often, so treat it as a trial and travel size rather than a set number of weeks. When one product runs out first, replace it in full size and keep the rest. Is it suitable as a gift? Yes, for someone whose skin runs oily or congested-looking. If you are not sure about the recipient's skin, a gift toward a salon facial is a safer choice than guessing at a line.
