The Brief

Clearer-looking skin
without the acid step.

Clarify Serum is the Treat step for visible congestion, uneven tone, dullness, and texture. Built around niacinamide, it supports a clearer-looking surface without turning the routine into an exfoliating acid step.

Use it after Hydrate Serum as a targeted layer or a thin all-over treatment as tolerated. Blend a small amount with Hydrate Serum when you want a softer application feel, then follow with Recovery Cream if skin needs comfort.

Result: skin looks clearer, smoother, and more even with consistent use.

The Brief
system Sequence
Where
it fits.
Morning
or evening.

Clarify Serum is the Treat step for tone, texture, and visible congestion. Apply after Hydrate Serum, use targeted or thinly all over as tolerated, then follow with Recovery Cream or Shield SPF 35+ depending on the routine.

01
Cleanse
Gentle Cleanser
Removes buildup without stripping.

Cleanse first so the routine lands on balanced skin. A non-stripping cleanse keeps the barrier comfortable before clarifying steps.

02
Activate
XO Essence
First layer after cleansing.

Press or mist into skin after cleansing. XO Essence helps hydrate and prepare the surface before Hydrate Serum and Clarify Serum.

03
Hydrate
Hydrate Serum
Water layer before clarify.

Apply to damp skin before Clarify Serum. Hydrate Serum helps cushion the formula and can be blended with Clarify Serum for a softer application feel.

04

Clarify Serum
Tone, texture, and visible congestion support.
You are here

Apply a small amount to targeted areas or use a thin layer all over as tolerated. Blend with Hydrate Serum if needed.

05
Seal
Recovery Cream
Comfort seal when skin needs support.

Follow with Recovery Cream when skin feels dry, reactive-looking, or in need of comfort. Recovery Cream is the Seal step.

06
Protect
Shield SPF 35+
Final morning protection.

Apply as the final morning step. SPF is especially important when the routine targets tone or texture.

2015
Congestion is rarely the skin's first language. It is usually the last word in a long argument about cleansing, stress, hormones, and three things you have been putting on top of it. This one is the answer that does not start that argument again.

The Science

Clarifying does not have to mean exfoliating: niacinamide supports the look of tone, texture, and visible congestion without an acid step.

01
Niacinamide / Tone + Texture Support
Niacinamide supports a clearer-looking surface, more even-looking tone, and smoother-looking texture. It is the core active in Clarify Serum's Treat role.
02
Clarifying Botanical Complex / Visible Congestion
Botanical support helps the formula feel clarifying without turning the routine into a harsh acid step. Keep claims focused on visible congestion, comfort, and balance.
03
Mimosa Extract / Surface Smoothness
Albizia Julibrissin Extract supports a smoother-looking, more refined surface. It complements niacinamide without making clinical collagen or pigmentation claims.
04
Lavender + Peppermint + Siberian Fir / Aromatic Clarity
Aromatic botanicals give Clarify Serum its fresh, clarifying profile. Keep this framed as sensory and cosmetic support, not antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory treatment.
05
Hydration Support / Blend-Friendly Finish
Humectant and panthenol-style support helps Clarify Serum feel comfortable when used over Hydrate Serum or blended into the layer. Verify the specific hydration ingredient against the correct Clarify Serum INCI before launch.
From the Treatment Room

Tips
from the spa.

Clarify Serum is the targeted tone and clarity step we use when skin looks congested, uneven, or dull. The goal is a clearer-looking surface without crowding the routine with too many strong actives.

Targeted Clarity
Apply a small amount to areas that look congested or uneven. Keep the layer thin, then follow with Recovery Cream if skin needs comfort.
Hydrate Blend
Blend a small amount with Hydrate Serum when you want a softer application feel. This is especially useful during the day or when skin feels easily reactive.
Reset Night Pairing
Use Clarify Serum and Radiance Mask carefully in the same week, not as a heavy daily stack. If skin feels sensitive, keep them on separate nights and seal with Recovery Cream.
The Details

Every question,
answered.

Formulated at Resonance Marin. Tested on real skin. These are the questions that matter most.

Where does Clarify Serum fit in the system?
Clarify Serum is the Treat step for tone, texture, and visible congestion. Use it after Hydrate Serum, then follow with Recovery Cream or Shield SPF 35+ depending on the routine.
Is Clarify Serum only for breakout-prone skin?
No. It can support the look of clearer tone, smoother texture, and visible congestion, even when breakouts are not the main concern.
Can I use Clarify Serum with Hydrate Serum?
Yes. Apply Hydrate Serum first or blend a small amount of Clarify Serum into it for a softer application feel.
Can I use Clarify Serum with C Serum?
Yes. Most skin does best with C Serum in the morning and Clarify Serum in the evening, or with Clarify used only in targeted areas.
Can I use Clarify Serum with Radiance Mask?
Yes, but avoid over-stacking. Use them on separate nights if skin feels sensitive, or keep Clarify targeted when using Radiance Mask in the same week.
Why can Clarify Serum form a light film?
Higher-niacinamide formulas can sometimes leave a visible film if too much is applied or skin is too dry. Use less, apply over hydration, or blend with Hydrate Serum.
Should I use Clarify Serum morning or evening?
It can be used morning or evening depending on tolerance. If using during the day, apply a small amount and finish with Shield SPF 35+.
The Scent + Texture
Lightweight serum, clean clarifying finish.

A lightweight serum that dries quickly to a clean finish. Use a small amount over hydration or blend with Hydrate Serum if the formula feels too concentrated on its own.
