Wearing a lot of make up to cover up your acne isn’t good for your acne and why are you doing things to make things easier for other people rather than what is best for your skin?
As more and more acne sufferers are trending towards embracing their acne instead of trying to hide it with thick foundation and making their acne worse in the process, a new generation of clear foundations that are actually beneficial for acne is the new ‘make up’ for skin prone to acne.
Our new bioactive mattifying primer is a no colour no cover foundation that blurs imperfections and instantly mattifies skin tone without clogging up pores with gloopy thick foundation.
We use two Nordic tree bark extracts to promote healthy skin microbiota and create an instantly mattified and smoother skin tone in acne-prone skin.
Clarol Nordic Birch & Willow Primer uses birch sap extract taken from the bark and trunk of the Silver Birch tree (Betula Pendula), which is grown in Nordic countries, in particular Finland. Its bark and sap extracts are used in traditional Nordic medicine to treat skin inflammation and infections of the skin.
Silver birch is widely used to smooth out skin tone and rejuvenate damaged skin in Finnish sauna and complimentary health culture.
The sap from the birch tree is easily converted into a bioactive skincare ingredient which studies prove helps improve elasticity and integrity of damaged skin as well as offering an immediate skin-smoothing action due to the natural film-like composition of the birch sap.
Willow bark, incorporated in the patented ingredient Trikenol ™, grows in abundance in Nordic regions and is used traditionally in Nordic skincare. Trikenol ™ is proven to help repair skin microbiota and reduce sebum production, offering an instantly mattifying effect.
Here three acne prone testers try Clarol Nordic Birch and Willow Primer as a clear foundation with incredible results;
Amy Jamison, 23, County Down, Northern Ireland
“The Clarol Primer gets rid of the oily look from my face and gives me more of a matte and softer focus finish! Even though it doesn’t cover my acne or my scars fully like coloured foundation, this product has been perfect for me recently as I am trying to wear less makeup to help my acne improve. With this primer I feel I can get a smoothed, matte look without having to put coloured or clogging foundation on!’
Daisy Welch, 25, Milton Keynes
“Clarol Primer helps to blur my pores, helps my un even texture and gives me a nice smooth and matte finish without having to plaster on foundation! I haven’t found a primer that works as well as this one on my acne prone skin. I often use it on its own without make up or if I’m going to put make up on I use it as a base and I don’t need to use as much make up as I used to. It also helps to prevent breakouts too due to its ingredients and not being heavy on my skin! It’s a light weight texture and I either use my hands or use a makeup brush to buff into the skin!
Oonnagh McLaughlin, 25, Co.Derry, Ireland
“I have acne rosacea and I couldn't believe how smooth the Clarol Primer feels on my skin. I've been using the primer on its own without any foundation and have been loving it. I really notice the difference as it helps blur my scars and pigmentation.”
