I have been playing with the Clarity RX line for a few months. Clarity RX was created by Esthetician Karla Keene who has 35 years experience. Until recently the line was only sold in doctor's offices and high-end spas. Now it's on Dermstore and the ClarityRX website. The line is plant based, simple, clean and effective.
You all know I love clinical, medical and cosmeceutical grade skin care lines. This is a long post so I warn you ahead of time, I had a lot of items to play with.
All the items come packaged in easy to recycle plastic and glass bottles. The brand has a minimalist aesthetic with its labeling and packaging. It's quite the large line as well so there's something for everyone.
Cleanse Daily Vitamin-Infused Cleanser is a very gentle, low foaming gel style cleanser. This has a really simple six ingredient inci list. It's non-drying & gentle. It's great as a morning cleanse or second cleanse at night. Ultimately I like this best as a morning cleanse. It kind of reminds me of the Indie Lee Rosehip Cleanser but cheaper.
This cleanser is a skin-nourishing facial wash that gives your skin a healthy dose of vitamins. Let this skin nourishing wash sweep away impurities and dirt. Infused with conditioning olive oil, rose hip seed oil and seaweed, your complexion is instantly renewed and refreshed, with a comfortable, clean feeling.
Ingredients
Purified Water, Olive Oil Castile, Vegetable Glycerin, Rose Hip Seed Oil, Oil Of Kumquat, Seaweed Extract
Call Me in the Morning Soothing Recovery Cream is a periwinkle day cream with a semi-matte finish. I love the light almost gel cream texture. It's a bit more than a gel cream, like a light cream with a gel hint. Yet it sets to a semi-matte finish which is what makes it great for oilier skin types as well as hot & humid environments.
This matte cream for daily environmental protection and comfortable hydration is perfect for all skin types, giving you a prime surface for makeup or just promoting a healthy complexion. Azulene and a blend of other herbal extracts form a thin shield over your skin to fend off bacteria and toxins. Your skin is left smooth, refined and soft.
Ingredients
Aloe Vera Gel, Safflower Oil, Stearic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Sodium Alginate, Hops Extract, Rosemary Leave Extract, Sage Leave Extract, Hazelnut Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Tirethanolamine, Avocado Oil, Azulene, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, D-panthenol, Ginseng Extract, Allantoin, Potassium Sorate, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid
There is just something about that color. Inflammation reducing and soothing azulene gives this cream it's hue.
Take it Easy Calming Serum is a hydrating serum meant to help redness associated with rosacea. This basically is hyaluronic acid and golden chamomile. It works. I noticed all the redness in my cheeks was gone with daily use. I have very faint redness in my cheeks from a very very mild rosacea. I then moved this too every other day and it still worked. This was one of my favorites from the line.
Thanks to new, all natural elements, you can biologically regulate symptoms of Rosacea. With regular use of this product, we have seen a 32% improvement in just two weeks on rosacea-like symptoms. Significant improvement has been demonstrated with severity of redness and improved texture.
Ingredients
Purified Water (Aqua), Hyaluronic Acid, Saccharide Isomerate, Chrysanthellum Indicum, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
An Apple a Day Phyto Stem Cell Preservation Serum is a protective antioxidant serum. Apple stem cells are hydrating and firming. Red seaweed is also hydrating, plus it has nutrients, antioxidants & beta-carotene. Add in a little hyaluronic acid for extra hydration. I love the lightweight and hydrating texture.
ClarityRx An Apple a Day Phyto Stem Cell Preservation Serum is a unique treatment that not only preserves skin, but regulates your skin’s ability to function properly. A rare apple extract protects against oxidative stress and conserves skin as it ages, helping it retain its natural vitality and radiance. Hyaluronic acid instantly plumps, binding moisture to your skin for a smoothed, supple complexion. A true, natural, organic anti-aging breakthrough in skincare!
Ingredients
Chondrus Crispus (Seaweed) Extract, Purified Water (Aqua), Hyaluronic Acid, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture, Anogeissus Leiocarpus Bark Extract, Glycerin, Lecithin, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Daily Fruit Antioxidant Moisturizing Mango Mask is a creamy hydrating antioxidant mask. It smells divine like mangos and cream. It has a thick creamy texture that hydrates the skin. This mask leaves my skin visibly hydrated and softer.
This rich mask ensures that your skin receives a full serving of fruit that delivers essential free radical fighting ingredients to your skin. This creamy, anti-aging mask is loaded with nurturing ingredients, enhanced by pentapeptides, that aid in improved collagen formation, and emollient oils to help restore aging skin. Excellent for maturing, sun-drenched skin.

Daily Dose of Water Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum is pretty much what it says. A hydrating hyaluronic acid serum. It's thicker in texture and not my favorite hyaluronic serum. It's basic and easy but I like others better. Especially the ones with a thinner texture and multiple sizes of hyaluronic acid (Like my favorite NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex). I would actually steer you towards grabbing the antioxidant or calming serum by this line as you'll get the same hyaluronic acid with extra benefits.
This fast-absorbing serum is the ultimate savior to dehydrated, dull skin. ClarityRx Daily Dose Of Water Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum instantly boosts moisture levels in the skin using hyaluronic acid, which can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. By binding moisture to your skin, your complexion feels more supple and appears younger and radiant.
Ingredients
Purified Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin
C-Results Wrinkle Reducer is basically an L-ascorbic acid and dimethicone cream with a silicone texture. I thought this was for all over face use (and it is) but it's listed as an eye cream more. This would be good at priming the eye area for makeup in the day due to the silicones. I'm not a big vitamin C in silicone base fan in general. Vitamin C brightens and increases collagen production. I wouldn't say this dramatically did anything. It did plump overnight but the effect was gone a few hours after waking up.
ClarityRx C-Results Wrinkle Reducer will dramatically decrease deep lines, uncovering a more youthful, hydrated appearance. Along with protective antioxidants, a chain of silicone-based polymers moisturize, smooth and soften your skin while L-ascorbic acid refines, brightens and refreshes. Your skin is left looking more luminous and youthful.
Ingredients
Isododecane L-Ascorbic Acid, Dimethicone, Crosspolymer-3
Take Care Daily Antioxidant Red Tea Serum is a nice hydrating antioxidant serum. It combines hyaluronic acid with red tea, lycopene & sweet potato. This is thinner in texture than the Daily Dose of Water with added benefits. I really like this one so far. Rooibos is rich in flavenoids which act as antioxidants. Lycopene is a carotenoid. Carotenoids are strong antioxidants that reduce inflammation of the skin. Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene a carotenoid and naturally high in vitamin A.
This serum gives your skin a healthy dose of free radical fighting antioxidants for optimal environmental protection. Pure South African red tea has an exceptional effect on the skin, reducing inflammation, irritation, combating the signs of aging and soothing sun damage and acne. This all-inclusive skin care treatment is your key to healthy, glowing skin.
Ingredients
Purified Water (Aqua), Hyaluronic Acid, Aspalathus Linearis (Red Tea) Extract, Lycopene (Tomato Paste) Extract, Ipomoea Batatas Root (Sweet Potato) Extract Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin.
I love that this line is simple with a lot of nice plant extracts. There's something for everyone as it's a larger line. My favorites are the An Apple A Day, Take Care Daily & Take It Easy serums. The textures of these three serums was really nice. No pilling issues. Light and hydrating, plus they all were effective. The Get Fit peptide serum is on my future wishlist, I've tried a sample and it was really nice. Thin and creamy.
