Verdict
🔬 Elite Performer
False/Misleading Claim Details
Reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Key Strengths
Clarity Peptides features a clinically supported 10% niacinamide concentration, combined with Zinc PCA and N-acetyl glucosamine for a synergistic anti-inflammatory and oil-balancing effect. The formula includes a hydration trio (HA, NAG, glycerin) and uses the patented Crystalide™ peptide for enhanced glow and skin renewal. It’s fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and well-suited for oily or sensitive skin, with transparent INCI and lightweight texture.
Red Flags
Despite strong actives, the product includes a potentially misleading claim about boosting hyaluronic acid production that only applies when used with separate retinoid serums. It also makes barrier-support claims without including ceramides, cholesterol, or fatty acids. The product lacks pH disclosure, uses “glass skin” as a vague marketing buzzword, and has no third-party testing to validate acne or PIH benefits.

Short Description
A brightening, blemish-soothing serum with 10% niacinamide, peptides, and zinc PCA to support glow, hydration, and oil balance — all without fragrance or alcohol.
Notes
Clarity Peptides is a lightweight, fragrance-free serum formulated with 10% niacinamide, Zinc PCA, and N-acetyl glucosamine to visibly calm irritation, reduce excess oil, and promote clearer skin. It also contains Crystalide™ peptide to support smoother texture and enhanced luminosity, while hyaluronic acid and glycerin help maintain hydration. Though barrier support is claimed, it lacks ceramides and cholesterol. No third-party testing is provided, and some claims rely on pairing with other products (e.g., retinoids). Still, the formula is strong for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types seeking a minimal, glow-boosting routine.
