Skincare doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t need 10 steps or expensive routines to achieve healthy, glowing skin. In fact, most people only need four essential products—as long as they are chosen wisely.

This 4-step minimalist routine helps you achieve clear, bright, and well-protected skin using CLARIV’s scientifically formulated serums and sunscreen, while keeping things simple, affordable, and effective.

Why Minimalist Skincare Works

  • Prevents irritation from too many actives

  • Saves time and money

  • Helps maintain a strong skin barrier

  • Works for all skin types

  • Easy to stay consistent

A good routine only needs four pillars: cleanse, treat, moisturize, protect.

🌿 The Only 4 Products You Need

This routine is built on simplicity and results. Here are the four essentials:

  1. Cleanser

  2. CLARIV Serum (based on concern)

  3. Moisturizer

  4. CLARIV Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++

Let’s break each step down.

1. Gentle Cleanser (Any good face wash)

Start with a mild cleanser to remove:

  • Oil

  • Dust

  • Sweat

  • Pollution buildup

A clean canvas helps your treatment serum absorb better.

Tip:
Use a gel face wash for oily skin and a cream-based cleanser for dry skin.

2. CLARIV Treatment Serum (Choose Based on Your Concern)

This is the most important “active” step of your routine—your skin problem solver.

For glow & brightness → CLARIV Vitamin C Serum

Contains:

  • Ethyl Ascorbic Acid for brightening

  • Ferulic Acid for antioxidant boost

  • Aloe Vera & Hyaluronic Acid for hydration

Perfect for dull skin, uneven tone, or tired-looking skin.

For pimples & fresh acne marks → CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum

Powered with:

  • 2% Salicylic Acid to unclog pores

  • 5% Niacinamide to reduce redness

  • Azelaic & Mandelic Acid to fade early marks

Ideal for oily, acne-prone skin.

For pigmentation & old marks → CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum

Formulated with:

  • Kojic Acid

  • Alpha Arbutin

  • Tranexamic Acid

  • Niacinamide

Perfect for dark spots, sun pigmentation, and uneven tone.

Choose one serum based on your top concern.
A minimalist routine doesn’t require mixing multiple actives.

3. Moisturizer (Barrier support + hydration)

Even if you have oily skin, moisturizer is essential.

A good moisturizer:

  • Locks in hydration

  • Reduces irritation

  • Makes skin plump

  • Strengthens the skin barrier

Choose a lightweight gel for oily skin or a hydrating cream for dry skin.

4. CLARIV Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ (Daily Protection)

This is the most important step during the day.

Why CLARIV Sunscreen Is Perfect for Minimal Skincare:

  • Water-based, ultra-light gel

  • No white cast

  • Sweat & water resistant

  • Suitable for all skin types

  • Contains Niacinamide, Ceramides & Hyaluronic Acid

  • Works as a moisturizer + sunscreen in one (for oily skin people)

It protects your skin from tanning, pigmentation, and sun damage—while keeping the routine minimal and comfortable.

Morning:

  1. Cleanser

  2. CLARIV Serum
