Using oil free moisturizers has been a game changer for me as I have seen a drastic reduction in my acne and whiteheads. I didn’t use any exfoliating serums or scrubs to tackle my whiteheads. But as they say no pain, no gain. Using oil free moisturizers did come with a drawback. I have been constantly battling dehydrated skin and couldn’t use any foaming cleanser in the morning. I was on the lookout of a nourishing lotion based consistency moisturizer to tackle this problem. When I picked up Pure Bubbles Clarity Lotion I didn’t know it would become a favourite product so quickly. Let’s check the Pure Bubbles Clarity Lotion Review.

Packaging, Texture and Fragrance
The packaging of the lotion is tube with an airless pump. It has an extra cap to protect the nozzle. The airless pump packaging is something which I really like. The tube is sturdy and travel friendly. The texture of the clarity lotion is lotion sort obviously, but isn’t much runny. The lotion is daisy yellow in colour and no it doesn’t stain the skin. The consistency is just perfect without being too runny or too thick. The lotion has a beautiful earthy fragrance which I absolutely, absolutely adore.

My experience with Pure Bubbles Clarity Lotion
The lotion has perfect consistency which spreads across the skin and blends easily into the skin. It sinks in beautifully without leaving any sticky, watery or whatsoever feeling behind. The lotion makes the skin soft, smooth and hydrated with regular use.
The lotion hydrates my skin sufficiently without clogging the pores. I can follow double cleansing or use exfoliating face washes without compromising the skin’s hydration levels as my skin gets dehydrated quickly.
I mostly use either oil free or gel based moisturizers. So while using Clarity Lotion, I could clearly see a difference in the hydration and overall health of my skin. It serves a great purpose of hydrating my skin with its lotion yet light weight consistency.
Clarity lotion claims to reduce acne and reduce oiliness of oily, acne prone skin. I don’t know about reducing oiliness but this one definitely reduces acne. I had some two acne before getting my periods, one on chin and other one on my jawline. The Clarity Lotion helped immensely in reducing the size of acne. I didn’t even notice my acne while using it and both have vanished without any mark. It stays true to it’s claim of reducing acne. The fact that the lotion reduces acne while hydrating the skin is the best thing for acne prone skin.
I do notice that my whiteheads increase in size whenever I use any other moisturizer except oil free. So the same thing happened with Pure Bubbles Clarity Lotion as well. Although that is not something which cannot be tackled with exfoliating face washes or double cleansing. So I am definitely not complaining on this part.

Pure Bubbles Clarity Lotion Review
The lotion consistency of Pure Bubbles Clarity Lotion along with the fact that it doesn’t clog pores at all and has strong anti-microbial & anti-inflammatory properties is it’s USP. The lotion also works good as a sealant for hydrating toners or gels and can work well in layering method. Another best part is that you can use it with AHA/ BHA/ Vitamin C/ Retinol and other actives. I have used a few other lotion consistency moisturizers for my dehydrated, oily skin although all were heavy and clogged pores. As of now there is no looking back for oily skin with this lotion in my stash. I have already repurchased it as a back up and I think this is one of the best moisturiser for oily skin in India.
