Introduction
Many people turn to natural ingredients believing they’re gentler and safer. That’s valid—but not all “natural” stuff is effective, and not every powerful acne product is harsh or synthetic.
Here’s where Truly Clear stands apart: the Truly Clear Acne Bar is 98.42% natural, combining plant-derived ingredients and effective actives to deliver fast results. In this post, we’ll explore 7 natural ingredients that have scientific backing for acne support, and show how Truly Clear harnesses that natural power in a fully optimized formula.
1. Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is one of the most well-known natural anti-acne ingredients. It offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatorybenefits that help combat acne-causing bacteria. But it must be used carefully.
Usage tip: Use concentrations around 1–5% in a carrier or formulation. Always patch test.
Caution: Pure undiluted tea tree oil can irritate sensitive skin.
(Reference: clinical trials on tea tree oil efficacy)
2. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is widely loved for its soothing and calming properties. It can help reduce redness, support healing, and cool inflamed skin.
Usage tip: Use pure aloe gel (no heavy additives) as a calming or moisturizing layer post-treatment.
Note: It’s more supportive than primary treatment for active acne.
3. Green Tea / Tea Leaf Extract
Green tea contains polyphenols and tannins that have both antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Topical green tea extract has shown promise in reducing acne lesions.
Usage tip: Use in lower concentrations or mild extracts rather than raw tea to avoid irritation.
4. Azelaic Acid (Naturally Derived)
Azelaic acid naturally occurs in grains (e.g., barley, wheat) and helps by:
-
Normalizing keratinization (preventing clogged pores)
-
Reducing bacteria
-
Reducing post-acne pigmentation
Many products use 10–20% azelaic acid.
Usage tip: Introduce slowly. Expect initial tingling.
5. Honey / Manuka Honey
Raw honey (especially manuka) is antimicrobial, wound-healing, and soothing. It can help calm post-acne skin and support barrier repair.
Usage tip: Use as a short mask (10–20 min), always patch test. Avoid if very sticky or heavy on your skin type.
6. Zinc Compounds (Topical / Natural Zinc)
Topical zinc (like zinc oxide or zinc sulfate) helps regulate oil, reduce inflammation, and support skin healing.
Usage tip: Found in many sunscreens or in light creams. Use moderate amounts (e.g. ~5%).
7. Niacinamide / Vitamin B3 (Often “Natural” in Clean Formulas)
While niacinamide is semi-synthetic in many formulas, many clean beauty lines use forms that align with natural or minimal formulas. It helps:
-
Strengthen barrier
-
Reduce redness
-
Regulate oil
Usage tip: Use 2–5% concentrations. It’s generally gentle and well tolerated.
