The Ingredients That Make It Work
Three Products. Each Addressing a Root Cause of Breakouts
Step 1. Calming Cleanser: Cleanse Without Stripping
⚠ Contains Hydrolyzed Whey Protein derived from cow's milk. Individuals with a dairy allergy, please use with caution. Lactose intolerance is not a dairy allergy. For a vegan alternative, we recommend Skinlycious Soothing Cleansing Gel.
Key benefits:
Cleanses thoroughly without tightness or dryness
pH-balanced to protect your skin barrier
Calamine soothes redness and sensitivity
Olive-derived moisturising ingredient that protects and moisturises
Hydrates without clogging pores; oil-free and weightless, can be used as your sole moisturiser
Replenishes water to balance sebum production; well-hydrated skin is less oily over time
Replenishes NMF to rebuild skin barrier depleted by acne and treatments
Soothes sensitivity after exfoliation, apply over Glow Exfoliant if tingling
Together, the three steps form a complete system: cleanse gently, treat the breakout, restore what was lost. Each product reinforces the others, so results compound over time.
Consistency is what clears acne long-term. This routine is simple enough to stick to every day.
STEP 1: Calming Cleanser
When: Morning & Night & after Heavy Sweating
How: Wet face, massage a coin-sized amount for ~1 min, rinse.
Massage oilier areas longer, drier areas shorter.
STEP 2: Glow Exfoliant
Spot Treat When: Twice daily How: Wet a cotton bud/pad, apply directly on active pimples and acne as well as post-acne red/brown marks.
Full-face Exfoliation When: 2-3x a week nightly How: Wet a cotton pad, swipe over the entire face. Be sure to feel the wetness.
Do not exfoliate in the morning. Do not exfoliate daily as that can lead to skin sensitivity.
STEP 3: Hydrating Serum
When: Morning & Night & after Heavy Sweating
How: Apply 2–3 pumps evenly on whole face and neck
If you have a tight, pulling feel after applying Hydrating Serum, your skin barrier may either be too weak resulting in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) or your skin is drier and needs an oil-based moisturiser. Mix in or Layer on Barrier Booster Moisturiser.
Using sunscreen or makeup? In the evening, add Soothing Cleansing Gel as a first cleanse to remove sunscreen and makeup before Calming Cleanser.

What Makes Clear Skin Potent Kit Different
3 Reasons This Kit Actually Works
It Treats Acne Without Sacrificing Your Skin Barrier
Most acne products sit at one of two extremes. Harsh treatments strip and dry out the skin, clearing acne in the short term while damaging the barrier that keeps it from coming back. Mild treatments feel comfortable but aren’t potent enough to actually clear the acne. Neither works long-term.
This kit is built on a different principle: be gentle on the overall skin, and potent only where the acne is. Every product in the Skinlycious range is formulated to be soothing, barrier-supporting, and non-disruptive.
Only the spot treatment, Glow Exfoliant, carries the acne-fighting actives, applied directly to the blemish rather than blanket-spread across the whole face.
Calming Cleanser resets skin without disrupting pH. Hydrating Serum balances sebum production, so skin becomes less oily over time, while strengthening the NMF barrier.
The result: skin that gets genuinely clearer over time, not skin that’s temporarily dried out and fighting back.
Three Steps, Each Targeting a Different Cause of Acne
Acne is rarely caused by one thing. Most one-product solutions only address one layer of the problem, and that’s why they work for a while, then stop. This kit covers all three.
Calming Cleanser targets the environment that lets breakouts form.
When your cleanser is too harsh, it strips your skin’s natural pH and oils, triggering your sebaceous glands to overproduce oil within hours. More oil means more congestion, more bacteria, more breakouts.
Calming Cleanser removes surface bacteria, excess oil, and impurities while keeping pH balanced, so your skin doesn’t rebound into oiliness after washing, and the conditions that breed breakouts don’t reset overnight.

Glow Exfoliant targets the breakout itself and prevents the next one.
Salicylic acid dissolves the sebum and dead cell buildup inside the pore that’s causing the active blemish. Mandelic acid brings the buildup to the surface faster.
Used as a spot treatment twice daily, it flattens whiteheads fast and reduces deeper blemishes progressively.
Used full-face regularly, it keeps pores clear so congestion never builds to the point of a breakout. Mandelic acid smooths texture while Purslane calms.

Mandelic acid smooths texture while Purslane calms, so you’re exfoliating and soothing in the same step.
Hydrating Serum targets the underlying vulnerability: dehydrated, barrier-compromised skin.
Skin that lacks water overproduces oil to compensate, feeding the very cycle causing breakouts.
By replenishing water with oil-free humectants, the serum rebalances sebum production so skin becomes genuinely less oily over time.
Sodium PCA and 15 amino acids rebuild the Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF), depleted by acne, harsh treatments, and ageing, so the barrier becomes progressively more resilient.
For oily and acne-prone skin, it acts as the sole moisturiser. Oil-free, weightless, and with zero pore congestion.

Three causes. Three solutions. One system.
Refined From the Routine That Cleared Jasmine’s 14 Years of Acne
Our founder spent 14 years battling acne before she found what worked: a cleanser and exfoliant from her dermatologist, and a hydrating serum from her aesthetic doctor. Jasmine combined the three, and her skin finally cleared. This kit is that exact combination, refined and made accessible.
The Cleanser: Years of Formulas That Failed Her Skin
Most cleansers on the market would throw Jasmine’s skin balance off completely: within 2 to 3 hours of washing, her skin would turn oily, not because of how much sebum she naturally produced, but because the cleanser had stripped her skin into overcompensating. With the right formulation, she discovered, her skin could stay matte the whole day.
Cleansers and sunscreen are, by far, the two hardest products to formulate for Jasmine’s acne-prone, oily-prone, sensitive skin. The cleanser’s formula has been refined multiple times based on real community feedback, with every change in service of one goal.
One example: when a tea tree oil addition caused breakouts in long-time users, it was removed immediately. Skinlycious has been essential-oil-free ever since.
The Exfoliant: A Dermatologist Formula, Improved
The exfoliant is built on the salicylic acid formula Jasmine’s dermatologist used to finally clear her acne after 14 years. She improved it, adding Mandelic Acid for gentler surface exfoliation and Purslane to soothe throughout.
She also discovered that skipping full-face exfoliation brought breakouts back. Whenever she got lazy and skipped her full-face exfoliation (around 3 times a week at night only), breakouts would start creeping back.
Regular exfoliation isn’t just about glow; it’s what keeps her skin consistently clear. That’s why Glow Exfoliant does double duty: your go-to spot treatment and your breakout-prevention ritual, in one bottle.
There’s likely a biological reason for this. Studies show that genetically acne-prone skin has two key differences: slower skin cell turnover and a higher presence of harmful P. acnes bacteria strains.
Slower cell turnover means dead skin cells accumulate faster than they shed, clogging pores more easily and more frequently than someone without a genetic predisposition to acne.
The higher concentration of harmful P. acnes bacteria compounds this, creating an environment where breakouts form more readily whenever pores are even slightly congested.
Regular exfoliation with Glow Exfoliant directly counters both: it physically accelerates the cell turnover that acne-prone skin can’t do efficiently on its own, and it helps reduce the bacteria that thrive in clogged pores.
For genetically acne-prone skin, regular exfoliation isn’t optional maintenance; it’s what normalises the skin.

The Serum: The Only Moisturiser That Ever Worked for Her
The serum is the product Jasmine bought from her aesthetic doctor for 9 years at three times the price, the only moisturiser that ever worked for her acne-prone, reactive skin. By age 20, years of harsh treatments had left her with a deep forehead wrinkle.
After using the Sodium Hyaluronate serum from age 23, that wrinkle gradually disappeared. The Skinlycious version improves on the original with NMF replenishment built in.
Together: this is the routine that changed Jasmine’s skin. It’s been refined, tested, and made accessible, so it can do the same for yours.

Personalised Moisture Balance
The Key to Healthy Skin? Your Own Perfect Water-Oil Balance.
Every moisturiser decision you’ve ever made (too greasy, too heavy, broke me out, not enough) comes down to one thing: the balance between water and oil in your skin.
Your skin needs both. Water keeps cells plump, resilient, and balanced. Oil seals that water in and protects the barrier. When that ratio is right for your skin type, the visible signs of imbalance (rough texture, frequent breakouts, reactive sensitivity) have less reason to show up.
When your skin is low on water:
It overproduces oil to compensate, causing oilier skin, clogged pores, and breakouts. Oily skin is often dehydrated. Dehydrated skin can also flake and become reactive, even if it doesn’t feel dry.
When your skin is low on oil:
It can’t hold onto moisture, regardless of how much you apply. You’ll experience tightness, flaking, itchiness, and a weakened barrier, leaving your skin vulnerable to issues like eczema. This is especially common in cold or dry climates.
Hydrating Serum is your water layer, the essential first step that replenishes hydration in the skin. For oily skin or in humid weather, this alone is often enough. But if your skin needs more, Skinlycious lets you customise.
STEP 1
Hydrating Serum
Adds water into the skin. Enough for most oily skin.
Add-on (if needed)
Barrier Booster Moisturiser
Adds oil. Seals moisture in. Barrier support.
Add-on (if DRY)
Balancing Facial Oil
Adds more oil. Further seals moisture in.
Everyone’s skin has different moisture needs. What works in Singapore’s humidity may not be enough during autumn or winter in colder countries. Start with Hydrating Serum as your water base, then adjust the oil level to what your skin actually needs. Layer or mix in Barrier Booster Moisturiser if your skin feels tight or reactive. Add a few drops of Balancing Facial Oil when you need deeper nourishment. Your perfect moisture balance is yours to customise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good Questions, Straight Answers
Is this kit suitable for teens?
Yes. All three products are free from essential oils, synthetic fragrances, sulfates, and parabens, gentle enough for young and sensitive skin, while being genuinely effective on active breakouts.
However, we recommend a gradual start to ensure the best results.
Step 1: The Test Phase
Before daily use, start with our Starter Kit and perform a half-face test. This helps you see whether the acid-based Glow Exfoliant (GE) or vitamin-based Clarifying Serum (CS) works better to flatten your existing breakouts.
Step 2: Once we identified the right spot treatment, it’s active correction.
• Cleansing & Hydrating: You can use our Calming Cleanser (CC) and Hydrating Serum (HS) more than twice a day if needed — especially after heavy sweating during PE or CCA.
• Spot Treating: Apply Glow Exfoliant to active breakouts twice daily. Spot treating only once a day is not effective for neutralizing acne bacteria.
Step 3: Maintenance Mode. Once your acne has cleared, you can adjust your routine:
• Stop Spot Treating: You no longer need GE on specific spots daily.
• Daily Essentials: Continue using the Calming Cleanser and Hydrating Serum daily; they are gentle, safe, and designed to keep skin balanced. It’s recommended to add a Sunscreen.
• Weekly Glow: To prevent future clogs and maintain clear skin, use the Glow Exfoliant for full-face exfoliation just once a week at night for teens. For adults, we can do 2-3x a week at night.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll notice small wins quickly, but true transformation takes time.
• 1 Day: Whiteheads and tiny bumps often begin to flatten or reduce with twice-daily use.
• 5 Days: You should notice a visible reduction in oiliness and redness
• 28 Days: This is the length of a full skin cell cycle; expect more significant improvements in texture.
• 2 to 3 Months: Consistent use is key. This is the typical timeframe for achieving completely clear skin, especially when dealing with stubborn blackheads or cystic acne.
Maintain Your Glow: Once your skin clears, we recommend continuing this routine to maintain your results. If you are breakout-prone, regular exfoliation is essential to prevent future clogs and keep acne at bay. Consistency is the key to staying clear!
Can I use Glow Exfoliant every day?
It depends on how you are using it! To get the best results without irritating your skin, follow these guidelines:
• As a Spot Treatment:Yes, use it twice daily. To effectively target and neutralize acne-causing bacteria, consistency is key. Applying it directly to breakouts twice a day ensures the treatment remains effective.
• For Full-Face Exfoliation:No, do not use it daily. For an all-over glow and to prevent future clogs, we recommend using it only 2–3 times a week at night. > Pro Tip: Over-exfoliating the entire face can lead to sensitivity. Stick to the “less is more” rule for full-face application, and save the daily use for those stubborn individual spots!
How is this different from the Clear Skin Hydrate Kit?
Both kits include Calming Cleanser and Hydrating Serum. The difference is the spot corrector. The Potent Kit uses Glow Exfoliant, a BHA + AHA formula ideal for deep pore-clearing and exfoliation. The Hydrate Kit uses Clarifying Serum, a Vitamin C + Vitamin B3 formula for skin that prefers a vitamin-based approach without acids. They address the same concerns through different mechanisms, for different skin types.
If you are unsure which spot corrector works better for you, start with our Starter Kit and perform a half-face test. This helps you see whether the acid-based Glow Exfoliant (GE) or vitamin-based Clarifying Serum (CS) works better to flatten your existing breakouts.
My skin is oily: do I still need the Hydrating Serum?
Yes. Oily skin is often dehydrated: when skin lacks water, it overproduces oil to compensate. Hydrating Serum is completely oil-free, so it gives your skin the water it needs without adding any greasiness. For most oily skin types in tropical climate, it’s all the moisturiser you’ll ever need.
Where are the products made?
All Skinlycious products are made in a certified GMP facility in Singapore, lab-tested rigorously, and notified with the US FDA, HSA, and NPRA.
How fast will I receive my Clear Skin Potent Kit?
Just give us 1-2 working days to prepare your order once you have placed your order and another 1-2 working days for the courier to deliver.
Do note that we don’t work on weekends and on Singapore’s Public Holidays.
