I was using so many harsh acids to control my breakouts that my face was constantly red and tight. Switching to a microbiome approach changed everything. Within 3 weeks my skin felt calm, and the spots actually cleared up instead of just drying out.
My skin was always angry and breaking out along my jawline. I started using Clera morning and night under my moisturizer. It's so lightweight, but the difference in my skin's texture is huge. The redness is basically gone and my breakouts are so much less frequent.
I love that this serum tackles my breakouts but also has niacinamide to help fade the little red marks they leave behind. It feels like a hydrating drink for my skin, rather than a stinging spot treatment. I'm on my third bottle.
Here's what most acne products get wrong: they strip your skin, kill every bacteria they can find, and leave your barrier in ruins. The problem is, your skin's microbiome — the invisible ecosystem of bacteria living on its surface — is what keeps acne in check in the first place. When that balance is destroyed, C. acnes bacteria overgrow, inflammation spikes, and breakouts get worse. That's why harsh actives clear your skin for a week, then it comes back angrier than before.
Sound familiar?
CLERA Microbiome Balancing Serum works differently. Instead of stripping your skin with benzoyl peroxide or harsh acids that destroy your barrier, it rebalances the microbiome that controls breakouts at the source — restoring the good bacteria that suppress C. acnes overgrowth, calming inflammation, and repairing the barrier that keeps spots from forming in the first place. Postbiotics, prebiotics, 5% niacinamide, and zinc work together to clear active breakouts and stop new ones forming.
3 drops morning and night. Before your moisturiser. That's it. No stinging. No purging cycles. No stripping your skin into oblivion. Just clearer, calmer skin without the collateral damage.

3 drops on clean skin, morning and night. Lightweight gel, absorbs instantly — non-comedogenic, layers cleanly under SPF or makeup without clogging pores.
Postbiotics and prebiotics restore the good bacteria that keep C. acnes in check. Inflammation calms. Your barrier rebuilds instead of breaking down.
Active breakouts shrink. New spots stop forming. Redness fades, post-acne marks lighten — without stripping, stinging, or starting the cycle all over again.
Independently tested in an ILAC-accredited lab. Every result statistically significant (P<0.05) — meaning proven effective, not chance.

Calms Inflammation
Reduces hyaluronidase — the inflammatory enzyme that turns a blocked pore into a red, swollen breakout. Less inflammation means smaller spots, faster healing, less pain.
✓ Proven anti-inflammatory action33%
Fades Post-Acne Marks
Inhibits tyrosinase — the enzyme that produces the dark marks left behind after every breakout. Old spots fade, new ones don't leave the same lasting damage.
✓ Proven brightening efficacy176%
24h Hydration
Rated "excellent" for moisture retention over 24 hours. Acne treatments strip your skin dry — this restores hydration without heaviness, oil, or clogging pores.
✓ Rated "excellent" (150%+)81%
Protects Against Scarring
Inhibits elastase — the enzyme that breaks down elastin during inflammation and leaves behind acne scars. Protecting elastin means breakouts heal cleanly, without lasting texture damage.

It's not about washing harder or using stronger actives. Your skin has a microbiome — a living ecosystem of good bacteria that naturally keeps acne-causing bacteria in check. Harsh products destroy that balance, and every breakout that follows is the result. No amount of benzoyl peroxide can fix what it's actively breaking.
Your microbiome gets wiped out
Benzoyl peroxide, harsh cleansers, and over-exfoliating kill every bacteria they touch — including the good ones that kept your skin in balance
Your barrier breaks down
Without good bacteria protecting it, your skin barrier weakens — letting irritants in and making everything more reactive
C. acnes overgrows
With no good bacteria to compete with, acne-causing bacteria multiply unchecked — inflammation spikes, breakouts get bigger and more painful
You reach for stronger treatments
Higher percentages, prescription creams, even oral medication — punishing already-damaged skin in hopes that more is the answer
The cycle restarts — worse than before
Skin clears briefly, then breaks out harder. Because you're killing bacteria on the surface while destroying the system that prevents acne in the first place
Good bacteria are replenished
Postbiotics and prebiotics restore the beneficial bacteria that naturally suppress C. acnes overgrowth
Your barrier rebuilds
A restored microbiome strengthens your skin barrier — keeping irritants out and stopping the reactivity cycle that triggers breakouts
Inflammation calms down
5% niacinamide and zinc target the inflammation that turns blocked pores into angry, painful spots. Existing breakouts heal faster.
New breakouts stop forming
With balanced bacteria and a strong barrier, the conditions that cause acne disappear. You stop reacting to every trigger.
Marks fade. Skin stays clear.
Post-acne pigmentation lightens. Texture smooths out. You stop chasing the next harsh treatment because this one actually addresses the cause.
Your acne treatments aren't failing you. They're causing the next breakout.
CLERA fixes the foundation so your skin can finally stay clear.
