👉 A minimalist routine using only 3 gentle, essential steps.

Let’s build the perfect routine for barrier repair using CLARIV products.

⭐ Why Over-Exfoliated Skin Needs Minimalism

When your barrier is damaged, your skin CANNOT handle:

• Too many products

• Too many layers

• Fragrance

• Strong actives

• Harsh cleansers

• Frequent exfoliation

What it needs is:

✔ Fewer products
✔ More consistency
✔ Gentle formulas
✔ Skin nourishment
✔ Barrier support
✔ Sun protection

A 3-product routine gives your skin the space to heal naturally.

⭐ The Only 3 Products You Need for Healing a Damaged Skin Barrier

Here is the MOST effective and safest routine:

1️⃣ Gentle Cleanser
2️⃣ One CLARIV Serum (Vitamin C, Anti-Acne or Anti-Pigmentation)
3️⃣ CLARIV Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++

Let’s break down why this works so well.

1. Gentle Cleanser — The Non-Irritating Start

With an irritated barrier, you must avoid:

• Scrub-based face washes

• AHA/BHA cleansers

• Fragrance-heavy cleansers

• Harsh foaming gels

A gentle, pH-balanced cleanser:

• Calms redness

• Protects barrier lipids

• Removes dirt without stripping

• Prepares the skin for repair

This alone reduces 40% irritation.

2. Choose ONE CLARIV Serum (Based on Sensitivity)

Minimalism means:
👉 Only ONE serum.

Depending on your skin condition:

✔ CLARIV Vitamin C Serum — Best for Dull, Tired, Lifeless Skin

If your barrier is damaged from:

• Stress

• Over-washing

• Pollution

• Screen time

This serum helps:

• Brighten tired skin

• Improve tone

• Reduce inflammation

• Strengthen the skin

And it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin.

✔ CLARIV Anti-Acne Serum — Best for Barrier Damage Causing Breakouts

Over-exfoliation often leads to:

• Sudden pimples

• Inflammation

• Painful red marks

This serum contains gentle but effective ingredients like niacinamide & salicylic that:

• Calm inflammation

• Reduce bumps

• Prevent red marks from turning brown

A perfect minimal treatment when your skin is reactive.

✔ CLARIV Anti-Pigmentation Serum — Best for Dark Patches Caused by Irritation

Damaged skin barriers worsen pigmentation.

Heat + inflammation + over-exfoliation → dark patches.

This serum helps:

• Control melanin

• Fade pigmentation

• Calm inflamed spots

• Restore even tone

Perfect for sensitive, pigmented skin.

3. CLARIV Sunscreen — The MOST Important Step for Barrier Repair

Damaged skin is 10x more sensitive to UV rays.

Even 10 minutes of sun exposure can cause:

• Burning

• Stinging

• Redness

• Dark patches

• Brown acne marks

• Melasma flare-ups

CLARIV Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ is perfect because it:

• Is lightweight

• Non-irritating

• No stinging

• No white cast

• Suits sensitive skin

• Works beautifully with serums

• Protects the barrier while it repairs

This is the SINGLE most important product in healing your skin barrier.
