Deep Cleans Pores and Controls Excess Oil

Oily and acne-prone skin benefits from a cleanser that removes not just surface dirt and makeup but the excess sebum and debris inside pores. Clarify Wash does this with mandelic acid, which penetrates the pore lining to loosen trapped oil and dead skin cells, and gentle surfactants that lift them away without over-stripping. With twice-daily use, breakouts become less frequent.

Laziza S

"Hale & Hush Clarify Wash works really well for clients who are acne-prone but also reactive or easily irritated. For oilier or more congested skin, I often recommend using it as a dry cleanse on areas with congestion or texture by applying it onto dry skin first and massaging it in for 20–30 seconds before adding water and spreading the cleanser around. This gives the acids more time to focus on those areas before being diluted with water."

Exfoliates and Smooths Texture With Every Wash

Clarify Wash exfoliates while it cleanses, using mandelic acid, gluconolactone, lactic acid, and fruit enzymes to dissolve the buildup of dead cells behind rough texture, dullness, and an uneven surface. Skin is gently resurfaced every time you cleanse, producing a visible improvement in smoothness and clarity that builds consistently over time without the need for a separate exfoliant.

DL-Mandelic Acid

A gentle alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin surface and pore lining, reduces congestion, suppresses excess melanin production, and helps control acne-causing bacteria.

Gluconolactone

A polyhydroxy acid that refines texture and improves clarity while simultaneously binding moisture and reinforcing the skin barrier, making it appropriate for sensitive and reactive skin.

Licorice Root Extract

A brightening and anti-inflammatory duo that helps regulate sebum production, reduce redness, and fade discoloration for a more balanced and even-toned complexion.

Brightens Tone and Fades Discoloration

For oily and acne-prone skin, discoloration is often the most persistent concern, since breakouts can leave marks behind. Clarify Wash helps interrupt this cycle at the cleansing step, delivering mandelic acid and stable vitamin C that work together to fade existing marks and help prevent new ones. With regular use, skin becomes progressively brighter and more even.

Active But Gentle on the Skin Barrier

Although it contains multiple exfoliating actives, Clarify Wash is formulated to leave the barrier intact. Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid known for its barrier-reinforcing properties, balances the exfoliation by binding moisture and supporting the skin's protective function, while sodium hyaluronate and glycerin add hydration. The result is a thorough, active cleanse that leaves skin comfortable enough for twice-daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Clarify Wash different from the Hale and Hush Quiet Wash?

Quiet Wash is a gentle, non-active cleanser designed for very sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin that needs barrier support and nothing more at the cleansing step. Clarify Wash is the active option, formulated with mandelic acid, fruit enzymes, vitamin C, and licorice root for oily, congested, acne-prone, and dull skin that needs the cleansing step to address specific concerns. If your skin is currently healthy and you want to maintain and improve it, Clarify Wash is the right choice. If your skin is in a reactive or compromised state, Quiet Wash is where to start.

Is Clarify Wash suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, with the right expectations. It contains mandelic acid and exfoliating actives, but the supporting formula includes gluconolactone, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin that maintain hydration and barrier comfort throughout the cleanse. Sensitive skin that is not currently reactive or compromised can typically tolerate it well. Those with very reactive or rosacea-prone skin should introduce it gradually, starting with once daily use before moving to twice daily.

Does Clarify Wash replace a separate exfoliating serum?

For light daily exfoliation, yes. The mandelic acid, gluconolactone, and fruit enzymes in the formula provide a consistent daily resurfacing that reduces the need for a separate exfoliant on most days. For clients dealing with more significant texture, pigmentation, or acne concerns, pairing Clarify Wash with the Hale and Hush Rare Mandelic Serum in the evening delivers a more comprehensive corrective result.

Does Hale and Hush Clarify Wash have a scent?

Yes. It carries a light, fresh citrus and botanical scent from clementine peel oil, lavender, and vanilla extract, all of which are naturally occurring botanical ingredients in the formula. There are no added synthetic fragrances. The scent is subtle and fades quickly during rinsing.

Can I use Clarify Wash if I am also using a retinoid at night?

Yes. Using Clarify Wash as your morning and evening cleanser alongside a nighttime retinoid is a well-tolerated combination for most skin types. Because the contact time of a cleanser is short, the acid content does not compete with your retinoid. If your skin is adjusting to a new retinoid and feeling reactive, switch to Quiet Wash temporarily until skin has stabilized.
