Doctor reviews & prescribes

Apply a pea-sized amount nightly to clean skin, as tolerated. On ClariFade nights, skip other retinols. Protect your skin daily with SPF.

Compounded medication. Not reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. Price includes doctor consult fee of $20. Rx required. A licensed provider will review your information and prescribe treatment only if appropriate.

We know that breakouts, redness, and dark spots rarely show up alone. ClariFade pairs two gold-standard ingredients, tretinoin and azelaic acid, into one formula to address all three at once.

Every ingredient, intentional

What's in the formula, what it does, and why our physicians chose it.

What's in the formula, what it does,
and why our physicians chose it.

Tretinoin

Widely regarded as the gold standard for both acne and signs of aging. Tretinoin binds directly to retinoid receptors to accelerate cell turnover, decrease oil production, and signal collagen and elastin renewal.

Azelaic Acid

A natural multitasking ingredient that reduces melanin production to fade dark spots, targets acne-causing bacteria, and calms redness and inflammation. One of the few ingredients with clinical evidence across all three concerns.

Ceramide Complex

Lipids that make up approximately 50% of the skin barrier's composition. Replenish the structural integrity of the stratum corneum when prescription actives cause barrier disruption.

Allantoin

A soothing compound to support the skin barrier and reduce irritation and sensitivity.

Panthenol

A skin-calming vitamin that supports barrier repair and accelerates surface healing. Clinically shown to reduce moisture loss and soothe irritation.

FAQ

ClariFade is for those looking to address acne and skin texture alongside redness or dark spots. With multiple Tretinoin strengths available, it works for a wide range of skin types and tolerance levels, and it’s a great fit if you’ve been looking to level up and simplify your routine with prescription-strength skincare.

ClariFade pairs Tretinoin with Azelaic Acid, best if you’re dealing with acne alongside redness or dark spots.
ClariGen is built specifically for hormonally driven, bacteria-involved breakouts.
HydroFade uses high prescription-strength Hydroquinone, the go-to option when dark spots and discoloration are your main concern without much active acne.

Not sure? Take our skin quiz for a personalized recommendation, or pick whichever matches your goals. Your physician will confirm the right fit for you during your consult.

Most patients start noticing visible improvement in redness and dark spots around 6 to 8 weeks, with more meaningful results over 3 to 6 months. Tretinoin’s acne-clearing and texture benefits often show up a bit sooner, usually within 4 to 6 weeks. Daily SPF matters throughout. Unprotected sun exposure can undo progress on dark spots.

Most patients who are new to retinoids or have sensitive skin start at 0.025% and build up as their skin adjusts. Normal to combination skin usually does well at 0.05%, and if your skin is more resilient or you’ve used tretinoin before, 0.1% is the strongest option.

You’ll pick one at checkout, but your physician reviews your history first and can guide you if a different strength makes more sense.

No. ClariFade contains tretinoin, which shouldn’t be used during pregnancy, and it isn’t recommended while breastfeeding. Tell your provider if either applies.

Yes, all three strengths (0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%) are priced the same, which includes your prescription treatment, physician consultation, and ongoing care, including unlimited messaging with your doctor for questions, follow-ups, or treatment adjustments. You can also adjust your delivery frequency, pause, or cancel anytime.
