Active ingredients
How Clear Calm Gel Works
Not every acne formula needs a retinoid or benzoyl peroxide. Clear Calm Gel pairs two actives proven to support acne-prone skin that looks inflamed, red, reactive, or oily while supporting barrier function and improving the look of post-acne marks over time.
Active 01
Dapsone
Calming breakout support
Gentle topical antibiotic that kills acne bacteria and calms inflammation without harsh irritation.
Active 02
Niacinamide
Barrier and tone support
A multitasking form of vitamin B3 that calms redness, balances oiliness, fades dark marks, and strengthens the skin barrier.
Formula fit
Is Clear Calm Gel Right For You?
Not sure which acne formula your skin needs? Take the skin assessment and let a licensed clinician guide your formula match.
Best for you if
- You experience inflamed breakouts or red-looking blemishes
- You have acne-prone skin that feels sensitive or easily irritated by stronger acne routines
- You want a lightweight, non-retinoid prescription option
- You are looking for support with oiliness, visible redness, and post-acne marks over time
A different formula may be better if
- You want a retinoid-based formula for texture, clogged pores, or long-term resurfacing
- Your acne is mostly comedonal, meaning blackheads, whiteheads, or congestion
- You are pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive
- Your main concern is melasma, pigmentation, or skin aging rather than breakouts

Questions
What patients ask most
Can I choose this exact formula?
Yes. Just add it to your cart to start your short intake. A licensed clinician will review your intake and determine whether this formula is right for you or if there is a better fit.
Can my formula be adjusted?
Yes. If your skin response, tolerance, or goals change, your clinician can recommend a different formula or routine adjustment when appropriate.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary, but many people begin to notice visible changes within 6-8 weeks of consistent use. Because this formula is designed to support inflamed breakouts, redness-prone acne, and post-acne marks, results may continue to build over 12+ weeks with consistent use.
Will this make me purge?
Clear Calm Gel does not contain a retinoid, so it is less likely to cause the type of purging commonly associated with tretinoin or retinoid formulas. Some people may still notice temporary changes as their skin adjusts. If your skin feels severely irritated, painful, or unusually inflamed, pause use and contact your clinician.
Is this for hormonal acne?
It may be helpful for some acne patterns that appear inflamed or redness-prone, but it is not specifically a hormonal acne formula. If your breakouts are concentrated along the lower face, jawline, or chin, your clinician may determine whether this formula or another option is the better fit.
What happens if my skin gets dry or irritated?
Some dryness, stinging, or sensitivity can happen with prescription skincare. Start as directed, moisturize well, and use SPF daily. If irritation becomes uncomfortable or persistent, pause use and contact your clinician. They may recommend reducing frequency, adjusting your routine, or changing your formula.
Can I change my formula over time?
Yes. Your skin's needs can change, and your treatment plan may change with it. If your skin is too dry, not responding as expected, or your concerns shift, your clinician may adjust your treatment approach or recommend a different formula when appropriate.
Is prescription treatment guaranteed?
No. Prescription treatment is not guaranteed. A licensed clinician will review your intake and determine whether prescription skincare is appropriate for you. If this formula is not the right fit, they may recommend another option or advise a different treatment path.
