How It All Began

"Two Friends, One Shared Journey"
As teenagers, we thought we had finally conquered our breakouts. But in our early 20s, the problem came back with a vengeance—this time worse than ever.

We experienced everything from persistent breakouts to deep blemishes we hadn’t dealt with before. Dermatologist visits became routine, and we tried every topical treatment imaginable, from benzoyl peroxide to tretinoin, adapalene, and salicylic acid. Despite months of dedication and patience, our skin continued to struggle.

After seeing little to no improvement with topical treatments, we turned to antibiotics. While they initially helped manage our breakouts, the experience came with its own challenges:

1. Discomfort and bloating, likely due to disruptions in our gut balance.
2. Breakouts that returned worse than before once we stopped the treatment.

Antibiotics, we learned, weren’t a sustainable long-term solution because they can affect both good and bad bacteria in the gut and may become less effective over time with repeated use.

Running out of options, our dermatologists recommended isotretinoin, a treatment praised by many for its success in managing breakouts. But for us, it was a different story. Shortly after starting the medication, we experienced side effects that impacted our daily lives, including gastrointestinal discomfort, rashes, and other challenges. Eventually, we had to discontinue the treatment.

When we were told there were no more options, we refused to give up. Realizing that antibiotics had worked by addressing breakout internally, we wondered if a more natural, internal approach could deliver similar results without the negative side effects.

After months of research, we discovered that many traditional breakout treatments often only address surface symptoms, acting as a temporary fix. For us, the root issues—underlying inflammation and hormonal imbalances—remained unaddressed. To validate our findings, we consulted holistic practitioners who guided us on a more natural journey. Together, we developed a program combining key nutrients and natural remedies that worked synergistically to support clear skin from within.

In just a few months, we noticed dramatic changes. By nourishing our bodies with the nutrients they needed, we saw our skin transform in ways we never thought possible.

Excited by our own results, we couldn’t wait to share what we had learned with friends and family who also struggled with breakouts. After seeing how these natural remedies positively impacted their skin as well, we realized the potential to help even more people.

However, sourcing the ingredients individually was both costly and time-consuming. We also found it challenging to find high-quality, reliable products that combined everything we needed. This inspired us to create our own solution—one that would be both effective and accessible.

And that’s how Clear Within was born: a thoughtfully crafted product designed to support clear skin from within using premium ingredients, all at a price that makes it easier for others to start their own journey.
