DETAILS
Product Description
The Clear and Shield Combo is a powerful skincare duo designed for oily, acne-prone skin — starting with a lightweight Clearing Serum, now upgraded with Liposomal Technology, formulated with 5% Niacinamide and 2% Liposomal Alpha Arbutin to reduce blemishes, control oil, fade dark spots, and improve overall skin clarity. The liposomal delivery system protects the actives from oxidation, releases them gradually, and carries them deeper into the skin with less irritation.
Followed by the SPF 50 Gel Sunscreen, which offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection in a non-greasy, water-resistant formula that absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast. Enriched with hydrating agents like glycerin and phospholipids, it prevents sun-related damage, tanning, and dryness. Together, they keep skin clear and protected — making this the ideal AM routine for oily and sensitive skin.
Why is this beginner friendly?
- 5% Niacinamide: Brightens, regulates excess oil, and refines the appearance of pores while staying gentle and well-tolerated by most skin types.
- 2% Liposomal Alpha Arbutin: Targets dark spots effectively with low irritation potential, thanks to liposomal buffering that releases the active gradually and carries it deeper into the skin.
- Hydrating: Sodium PCA and Trehalose soothe and hydrate the skin, preventing dryness from the actives.
How Does it Work on the Skin?
Clearing Serum
- 5% Niacinamide: Helps regulate excess oil and reduces pigment transfer within the skin, improving uneven tone and fading the appearance of dark spots.
- 2% Liposomal Alpha Arbutin: Inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, to visibly reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and acne marks. The liposomal carrier helps the active reach deeper layers where pigmentation forms, with less irritation than conventional formulas.
Gel Sunscreen
- Photostable, Long-Lasting Performance: Uses the power of 4 modern New Gen UV filters that stay effective even under sun exposure, helping maintain consistent protection over time.
- Lightweight Daily Protection: The gel texture absorbs quickly without clogging pores, making it comfortable for everyday use.
- Protective UV Shield: Forms a protective layer on the skin to help guard against UVA and UVB rays that can cause tanning and pigmentation.
- Neutralises UV Radiation: Absorbs and neutralises UV radiation, reducing sun-induced skin stress and visible damage.
- Shields Skin from UV Damage: Broad-spectrum SPF 50 PA++++ filters help block UVA and UVB rays, reducing the risk of sunburn, tanning, and premature ageing.
How to use?
Clearing Serum
- Apply 2-3 drops onto dry skin after cleansing.
- Use your fingertips to spread it evenly across your face until absorbed.
- Follow up with a moisturiser and sunscreen for best results.
- Can be used in the morning and evening.
Note: If you are a first time user to the actives in the product, it is recommended to incorporate it slowly into your routine and gradually increase the frequency to everyday usage. For more details check the FAQs.
Gel Sunscreen
To get the best protection from harmful UV rays, follow these simple steps when applying your oily skin sunscreen:
- Apply on the face & neck in the morning routine & at least 15 minutes before stepping out in the sun. This allows the skin to absorb the sunscreen and ensures optimal protection against UVA and UVB rays.
- Use after a moisturiser & before using makeup. Layering your skincare correctly is crucial for maximum benefits. First, apply a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser suitable for oily skin, followed by this best sunscreen for oily face to create a protective shield. Then, proceed with your makeup routine.
- Reapply when needed for continued protection. If you're spending extended time outdoors, sweating, or swimming, make sure to reapply your sunscreen for oily skin every two hours for continuous protection.
- Use a generous amount for the face and neck—to ensure even coverage.
- For those with acne-prone or oily skin, opting for a gel sunscreen for oily skin or an oil free sunscreen cream can help prevent clogged pores while keeping your skin matt finish.
By following these steps, you can effectively protect your skin while keeping it hydrated and non-greasy throughout the day.

FAQs
```html id="faq7xkp"
CLEARING SERUM – 5% NIACINAMIDE + 2% LIPOSOMAL ALPHA ARBUTIN
What does this serum help with?
It helps reduce dark spots, acne marks, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, while improving overall skin clarity and controlling excess oil.
What's different about Liposomal Alpha Arbutin?
The liposomal delivery system protects Alpha Arbutin from oxidation, releases it gradually for all-day action, and carries it deeper into the skin — making it more effective and gentler than standard Alpha Arbutin.
Is this serum suitable for beginners?
Yes. The active concentrations are balanced and the liposomal technology buffers potency, making it well-tolerated even for first-time users of brightening actives. If you're new to actives, start slow and gradually increase frequency.
Can it be used daily?
Yes, once or twice daily — in your morning and/or evening routine.
Is it suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. Niacinamide helps control excess oil and supports clearer-looking skin.
How long until I see results?
Many users notice brighter skin within 2 weeks. Visible improvement in dark spots and tone typically appears within 4–8 weeks of consistent use, depending on the severity of pigmentation.
Do I need sunscreen while using this serum?
Yes — daily sunscreen prevents new pigmentation and protects the results of the serum. This combo pairs it with the Gel Sunscreen for exactly that reason.
SPF 50 GEL SUNSCREEN
What protection does this sunscreen offer?
It provides broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection against both UVA and UVB rays, helping prevent sunburn, tanning, sun-related ageing, and dark spots.
Will it leave a white cast or feel greasy?
No. It's a lightweight, water-based gel that absorbs quickly without a white cast, leaving a smooth, matte finish — ideal for oily skin.
Is it suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?
Yes. The non-greasy gel formula is designed not to clog pores, making it well-suited to oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.
How and when should I apply it?
Apply generously to the face and neck as the last step of your morning routine, at least 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use it after your moisturiser and before makeup.
How often should I reapply?
Reapply every two hours when outdoors, sweating, or swimming for continued protection.
Can I use it with the Clearing Serum?
Yes — that's the intended routine. Apply the Clearing Serum first, allow it to absorb, follow with moisturiser, then finish with the Gel Sunscreen.
