What the gurus are saying

This serum wins praise for packing a robust lineup of actives into an affordable bottle. The ingredient list impressed reviewers, who found real value in what you're getting for the money. Not much guru feedback has come in yet, so there's limited perspective on how it performs across different skin types or concerns.

"The Pixi Clarity Concentrate is $24. I remember when I first discovered this product and I was like oh my gosh this ingredient list is loaded with so many powerful ingredients at a great price point with a really nice feeling product. It has glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, like it has a really well-rounded formula, albeit very powerful. So tread carefully, only use it a few times a week."
✓Yay
"There's a serum which is the Clarity Concentrate that helps refine the pores, promotes even skin tone and a smoother complexion. I use two to three drops into clean skin, focusing on problem areas."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
