Honest Beauty’s Clearing Collection was formulated at the brand’s in-house laboratories leveraging a scientifically-proven approach to treat and prevent acne for healthy, happy skin. Honest Beauty is known for its highly effective innovations, and this line is no exception. In fact, 97% of people agreed their skin looked healthier after using the regimen of products* which includes:

• Get Clarity Acne Foam Cleanser: Acne-fighting formula, powered by Apple AHAs (4 types including Malic, Glycolic, Lactic and Citric Acids) designed to gently exfoliate the skin, as well as Colloidal Sulfur which helps prevent and control future breakouts.
• In the Clear Acne Serum: Thoughtfully formulated serum made with Wintergreen-Derived Salicylic Acid to help exfoliate skin to support cell turnover and help clear, minimize + prevent future breakouts. It also contains Azelaic Acid, known to improve the appearance of post-blemish pigmentation, Zinc PCA which is known to help balance skin microbiome and keep microorganisms in check, and Niacinamide, which is known to help improve the look of redness.
• Spot Stopper Acne Spot Treatment: Witch Hazel-infused, fast-acting acne spot treatment that visibly reduces the size and redness of blemishes in as little as two days** and helps prevent future breakouts. The formula also contains Wintergreen-Derived Salicylic Acid which works to fight acne and exfoliate the skin, while Glycolic Acid acts as a powerful exfoliant to improve skin clarity and promote faster breakout recovery. Lastly, Microalgae, a prebiotic and skin superfood, keeps microorganisms (associated with skin imbalances) in check.

“We are pleased to welcome Honest Beauty to our unparalleled assortment, especially as our guests continue to seek out clean beauty products more fervently than ever before,” said Monica Arnaudo, chief merchandising officer, Ulta Beauty. “With the innovative Honest Beauty offerings in our stores and online, we will now offer the opportunity to experience beauty and skincare options that mirror their preferences and deliver great efficacy.”
