When do I use Clarifying Cream in my routine?

Is Clarifying Cream suitable for all skin types?

While this cream is beneficial for all skin states due to its non-comedogenic, biocompatible ingredients, the Clarifying Cream is specifically formulated for complexions prone to acne, excess oil production, sun damage, or hyperpigmentation.

What does tallow do in skincare?

Tallow is a foundational ingredient in our creams because it is an ancient skin superfood. Tallow mimics your skin's natural sebum, making it highly biocompatible to restore skin at a cellular level.

What does Clarifying Cream smell like?

The Clarifying Cream has a fresh, floral, and herbaceous aroma from its blend of organic Manuka, Neroli, and Tea Tree essential oils. This intentional scent not only contributes to the uplifting aroma but also provides antimicrobial and balancing benefits to calm and clarify the skin.

Not for me but really nice product!

"I think my skin didn't like this because it's tallow-based. I thought it might prevent my random breakouts, but it did the opposite unfortunately. Which stinks because it really is a great formulation. Smells amazing and goes on like butter. I exchanged for another product that is not tallow-based!"

"I've been using Primally Pure skin care for a number of years. I am in my sixties and didn't think I would be bothered with acne again, but this summer I started having break outs! Ugh! I decided to try the clarifying cream and wow, it cleared my skin up and also cleared up some small spots of redness. Thank you Primally Pure! I love so many of your products."

— Kathy T. (5/5)

Very moisturizing!

"Didn’t love the smell of this one but it’s very moisturizing for my dry, acne-prone skin. Typically acne-prone products make my skin feel super irritated and dry but this was perfect!"

— Yoana K. (5/5)

Not bad, just not my

"Not bad, just not my favorite from the lineup. The smell is a little off putting (personal preference only), so probably won’t repurchase. Antioxidant balm smells wonderful, though, so will be switching back to that one!"

— Callie S. (4/5)

Acne sufferer

"I really love this product. I suffer from acne and scarring. I’ve only been using it for a couple weeks and notice a difference in my skin! More youthful, smoother and acne looks better! Very happy and want to try more products"

— Amanda J. (4/5)

Surprisingly lovely!

"I was skeptical about tallow on my oily face (moisturizers are just hard for me anyway) but this has not cused my skin any breakouts and it leaves a very smooth finish to the face, not oily."

— Madeline K. (5/5)

Stopped using on all my face

"I really wanted to like this product, but after some time of using it over my whole face at night my acne got really bad! I transitioned to using it as only an eye cream and on my neck/chest, and my skin is slowly going back to normal… I do not think I will be repurchasing, wish I could return :("

Always feel so good after

"Always feel so good after using this cream! My husband loves the smell of it. He thinks it smells like fruit loops😂"

Q&A

Is the tallow used 100% grass-fed and finished?: As a natural and sustainable brand, we only use tallow from grass-fed cows that are humanely raised + processed. Because we believe in the nose-to-tail philosophy and that every part of the animal has a purpose, we use the tallow from animals that are being processed for their meat so that nothing is wasted. These cows are pasture raised and considered "beyond organic." Many small farms can't afford the additional costs of organic certification even though their standards exceed the USDA organic standards. Our founder’s family started a beyond organic pasture raised livestock farm so she has actually been a part of the rendering process and has experienced this process from start to finish. As a USDA product, the tallow is processed at temps to kill any pathogens.
It says best if used within 6 months. Is this because of the tallow? Can I still use it if it’s passed the 6 month mark?: Thanks for reaching out! All of our products have a best if used within date printed on the label. This starts from the date of purchase. Some products can definitely be used after this date but we simply suggest the use by date for the freshest experience. These dates usually range from 6 months to 1 year depending on the product.
Is this safe for daily use during pregnancy? Asking because of bergamot and tea tree oil.: Thank you for reaching out about the ingredients we use and we would be happy to help! Taking extra precautions when it comes to nurturing little lives is of the utmost importance to us. We’ve done extensive research in regards essential oil use during pregnancy + while nursing, and feel confident that all of our products (aside from Fancy Face Serum for which we offer a pregnancy-safe version) do not pose a risk for pregnant/nursing women. Check with your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you have questions/concerns.
Can this be used as a moisturizer by itself or does it have to be used after the serum? I just purchased the serum but am finding it’s feeling too heavy and not fully absorbing into my skin, even with using a a drop or two, so I’m wondering if using this instead may be a lighter option for my oily skin.: Hi Michele, Great question! The Clarifying Cream definitely provides a heavier level of moisture to the skin. We'd suggest applying the serum as part of your PM routine and then simply splashing with water in the morning. Then you can apply a Mist or Everything Spray as your moisture step followed by makeup or SPF. XO, The Pure Team
Does this cream have a similar scent to the plumping cream? The plumping cream had a strong animal fat smell that I didn’t like, but when I got the body cream it didn’t have that scent at all, so I was interested in trying a different face cream: Hi Deanna, This cream has a light citrus scent that most customers really love. We hope you'll exchange your other cream for this one! Please let us know if we can help. :) XO, The Pure Team
