| 1. What is Clarol, and who is it for? Clarol is a gentle, naturally active, British-made skincare range for teenagers and adults with oily, spot-prone and acne-prone skin. It uses MicroSilver and naturally derived botanicals to keep pores clear and oil balanced, taking a rebalancing approach rather than harshly stripping the skin. |
| 2. What makes Clarol different from ordinary acne skincare? Many acne products work by stripping and drying the skin, which can leave it irritated and producing more oil. Clarol takes a gentler, rebalancing approach, built around MicroSilver and naturally active botanicals, so it keeps pores clear and oil balanced while being kind to the skin. That makes it suitable for the consistent, long-term use blemish-prone skin needs. |
| 3. What products are in the Clarol range, and what does each do? The core routine is a Silver & Birch Exfoliating Wash to cleanse, a Birch Water Toner to refine the look of pores, the Silver Serum to rebalance the skin through the day, Sebopure to help keep sebum balanced, and ZnO Clear to target individual spots overnight. There is also a Mattifying Primer for a smooth, less shiny base under make-up. |
| 4. How does the silver in Clarol work? Clarol uses MicroSilver, a cosmetic-grade micronised silver, not colloidal silver. It works on the surface of the skin to help keep blemish-prone skin balanced and support its natural defences, while the surrounding botanicals purify and calm. It is designed to be gentle enough for daily, long-term use. |
| 5. What is the difference between the Silver Serum, Sebopure and ZnO Clear? They do different jobs. The Silver Serum is the everyday hero, rebalancing the skin and worn under make-up. Sebopure focuses on keeping sebum balanced to help prevent pore blockages. ZnO Clear is a targeted spot treatment, dabbed onto individual emerging or active spots, usually overnight. Many people use all three as part of one routine. |
| 6. When should I use the Silver Serum, morning or night? The Silver Serum is designed for the morning, on clean, dry skin. Its MicroSilver stays active for around eight hours, and it makes an ideal base under make-up, so let it absorb first. You can also use it in the evening as part of your fuller routine. |
| 7. Can I wear make-up with Clarol? Yes. The Silver Serum makes a good base under make-up, so let it absorb first, and the Mattifying Primer helps create a smooth, less shiny finish. Choose non-comedogenic make-up where you can, and remove it gently in the evening as part of your routine. |
| 8. Is Clarol vegan and cruelty-free? Yes. Clarol is vegan and cruelty-free, and free from parabens, added perfume, SLS and MI, which makes it suitable for oily, blemish-prone and sensitive skin. |
| 9. Where is Clarol made? Clarol is made in Britain and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin. |
| 10. Is Clarol suitable for teenage skin? Yes. Clarol is gentle enough for teenage skin and is a popular first routine for younger skin that is prone to spots, used on its own or as part of the fuller Clarol routine. As with any new product, patch test before first use. |
| 11. Can Clarol help with adult, hormonal or menopausal breakouts? Yes. Adult, hormonal and menopausal breakouts, often along the chin and jawline, are one of the most common reasons customers come to Clarol. It is designed to be gentle enough for the ongoing daily use that hormonal skin usually needs, and many customers use it for years through these changes. |
| 12. Will Clarol dry out or strip my skin? No. Clarol is designed to rebalance rather than strip, which is a gentler approach than many traditional acne products. If your skin feels dry, reduce how often you exfoliate and keep using a light moisturiser, and avoid over-washing with soap and water. |
| 13. Is Clarol suitable for sensitive skin or other skin concerns? Clarol is vegan, fragrance-free and gentle, so it suits sensitive, combination and oily skin. It is formulated specifically for oily and acne-prone skin, though. If your main concern is redness or rosacea, our KALME range is designed for that, for dry, eczema-prone skin there is Hydrosil, and for scaly, psoriasis-prone skin there is PSOregon. As always, patch test before first use. |
| 14. Can I use Clarol during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? Clarol is gentle, fragrance-free and free from parabens, and many people use it at this time. As sensitivities can change during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and some acne ingredients are best avoided then, it is sensible to check the ingredients and, if you are unsure, speak to your midwife, GP or pharmacist first. Patch test before first use. |
