Vibrant skin requires vibrant ingredients. Let's soak up the benefits of Watermelon Fruit Extract!

Clear Complexion aims to raise the bar and sets a new industry standard of acne-safe, anti-pore clogging skincare ingredients, like the Citrullus Vulgaris (or watermelon fruit extract) you'll find in products like our Hydra Drops!
It's like giving your skin a delicious, thirst-quenching drink of fresh-squeezed watermelon juice! YUM.
Citrullus Vulgaris is a powerhouse ingredient in skincare, especially in hydrating serums. Here are the key benefits of using it in your skincare routine:
1. Deep Hydration & Moisture Retention
Watermelon is rich in natural sugars and amino acids, which help the skin retain moisture and stay hydrated for longer.
It contains hyaluronic acid-boosting properties, making it an excellent ingredient in a hydrating serum.
2. Rich in Antioxidants (Protects Against Aging & Environmental Damage)
Loaded with lycopene, vitamin C, and vitamin A, which help fight free radicals that cause premature aging and skin damage.
Helps protect the skin from UV-induced oxidative stress, reducing the impact of environmental damage.
3. Soothing & Calming for Irritated Skin
Its natural anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness and calm irritated, sensitive, or acne-prone skin.
Ideal for those with rosacea, sunburn, or inflammation-prone skin.
4. Brightens & Evens Skin Tone
The presence of Vitamin C helps brighten the complexion and reduce hyperpigmentation over time.
Supports skin cell regeneration, leading to a more radiant glow.
5. Improves Skin Elasticity & Plumpness
Contains citrulline, an amino acid that promotes collagen production, helping skin stay firm, plump, and youthful.
Helps smooth fine lines and improves skin texture over time.
6. Lightweight & Non-Greasy
Watermelon extract is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and does not leave a heavy or sticky residue—making it perfect for all skin types, including oily or acne-prone skin.
7. Detoxifying & Refreshing
Helps flush out toxins and supports skin detoxification.
Provides a cooling effect, making it great for refreshing and revitalizing tired or dull skin.

How will it benefit your specific skin type?
Dry & Dehydrated Skin → Locks in moisture & prevents trans-epidermal water loss.
Sensitive & Irritated Skin → Calms redness & soothes irritation.
Oily & Acne-Prone Skin → Hydrates without clogging pores & reduces inflammation.
Mature Skin → Antioxidants fight free radicals & support collagen production.
Dull Skin → Helps brighten and refresh the complexion.
Why we love iT:
Watermelon fruit extract is not just hydrating—it’s anti-pore clogging, anti-aging, soothing, brightening, and protective... everything Clear Complexion Skincare is all about!
When used in our hydrating serum, it delivers long-lasting moisture while keeping skin plump, calm, and radiant. It’s a perfect ingredient for year-round hydration, especially when paired with other skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, or aloe vera.
