With more than three decades of consumer product innovation, the Truly Clear team set out to simplify acne care for real life. We weren’t interested in another three-step routine that eats up your day. We built a faster path: one step, done.
Founded by Richard Davidson, the inventor of Truly Clear, our OTC salicylic acid acne bar pairs effective levels of the active with a 98.42% plant-based base featuring aloe as the first ingredient. The routine takes under five minutes, supports clearer-looking skin, and fits the face, chest, back, and beyond.
How we build
We develop everything in-house and control the details. Rich formulated the Acne Bar and engineered the Swirl Scrubber’s design. The scrubber uses 100% food-grade silicone infused with calibrated amounts of silver and zinc to help inhibit microbial growth on the scrubber itself, keeping it fresher between uses. Our hydrocolloid patches are built to our specifications for size, shape, thickness, and adhesive.
Independently tested by TÜV under controlled conditions, showing up to 99.9% reduction of E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus on the scrubber surface. Antimicrobial properties protect the product, not the user’s skin, and do not treat or prevent disease.
Founder’s note
I grew up without much, which taught me to notice people who get overlooked. Over the years I learned to be a giver, not a taker. That’s how I run Truly Clear: say less, do more. If someone is struggling with acne and truly can’t afford our products, we review requests privately and try to help, case by case. Need help due to cost? Contact us privately.
