MEGASHADE'S FOCUS
UV rays
Chemical-mineral hybrid for broad-spectrum protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Acne-prone skin
100% non-comedogenic (won't block pores), built for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
Dark spots
Potent brightening formula protects dark spots from worsening, while shielding new ones from forming.
Skin degradation
Barrier-boosting ceramides deter skin degradation (not 'anti-aging', bc aging is a beautiful part of life!)
INGREDIENTS
Hyaluronic acid
HA works (in collaboration with Ceramide NG) as your hydration station. She's a moisture magnet that retains hydration stores in your skin for a luminous, dewy glow.
Chemical filters
These absorb UV rays and convert them into heat, neutralizing harmful free radicals. Includes Homosalate (7.5%), Octisalate (5%) and Octinoxate (7.5%).
Ceramide NG
High in healthy fatty acids, this angelic ceramide boosts skin's elasticity, keeping it firm, plump and hydrated. Also: Makes you dewy.
Kakadu plum (Vitamin C)
Containing the highest Vit C content from any food source in the world, this powerful antioxidant helps to brighten the appearance of dark spots.
Niacinamide
AKA as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide turns down redness. Your skin's calm, logical, level-headed friend, it can also help to repair signs of damage.
Ferulic acid
A do-gooder antioxidant that protects against free radicals, FA fights skin degradation (or aging , a beautiful part of life btw!), reducing the appearance of fine lines while firming.
Tea tree
A potent agent from our home shores, Australia, that purifies pores and clarifies acne-prone skin.
Colloidal oatmeal
The breakfast of dewy champions! But no, really, this antioxidant is water-binding and locks in moisture, while soothing the appearance of redness and uneven texture.

DERM-RECOMMENDED
"It works well for anyone with acne-prone skin, especially since it has niacinamide and is packed with Vitamin C."
JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING
Where does MEGASHADE fit into
my skincare routine?
MEGASHADE has a serum-like finish but its primary job is fighting UV rays and protecting your excellent face from the sun's harsh rays! It should be applied as your very last skincare step, after your serums and before makeup. However! Since it's packed with skincare ingredients that might appear in your day serums (Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Niacinamide and more), MEGASHADE also doubles as a potent day serum that brightens and antioxidizes while being extremely friendly for acne-prone skin, so you may not even need your normal day serum :)
Is MEGASHADE reef-safe?
MEGASHADE is unlike classic beach bag sunscreens that are thick and leave a white cast—we formulated it for every day urban use, with active ingredients to boost your skincare routine. With that said, due to the presence of Octinoxate (7.5%), MEGASHADE cannot be considered reef-safe (we've formulated with Octinoxate as it blends seamlessly, lending a beautifully dewy finish).
What do you mean by "broad-spectrum
protection"?
Broad-spectrum covers both UVA and UVB rays (as opposed to just one). UVA protection works against the aging rays (let's just quickly note that aging is NOT a dirty word; and rather, a beautiful part of life!). UVB protection works against the burning rays. MEGASHADE deflects and blocks both types of rays for comprehensive sun protection.
SPF 50 seems high. Do I really need that
level of protection?
Skin cancer is the most preventable form of cancer, and using a high quality broad-spectrum SPF is the key to that prevention. skincancer.org say, "The SPF number tells you how long the sun’s UV radiation would take to redden your skin when using the product exactly as directed versus the amount of time without any sunscreen. So ideally, with SPF 30 it would take you 30 times longer to burn than if you weren’t wearing sunscreen." "An SPF 30 allows about 3 percent of UVB rays to hit your skin. An SPF of 50 allows about 2 percent of those rays through. That may seem like a small difference until you realize that the SPF 30 is allowing 50 percent more UV radiation onto your skin."
REAL RESULTS
"Transformed my skin"
After 6 years of searching, Power Duo is the first thing that has helped my hormonal acne. I've tried oral and topical acne prescriptions but they didn't work. This is absolutely amazing stuff that has transformed my skin! - Mim
"Magic in a bottle"
Clearly Basics helped maintain my skin after oral prescription and honestly, their products have helped so many. I get many DM's thanking me for recommending Clearly Basics and how it's helped them. If I knew about Clearly prior to my course of oral prescription, I would have definitely gone with using Clear Out first! - Alisha
"My skin NEVER looked or felt better"
I have been using Power Duo consistently for 3 months now and my skin has NEVER looked or felt better! I haven't experienced a breakout since March and more than 80% of my hyperpigmentation is GONE! I am so grateful to have finally found a product that actually works for my skin.- Brittany
"It's been a Godsend"
I’ve had really great success with Clear Out, and actually have tracked my progress from a year ago to now! The difference is pretty darn amazing. Nothing else worked for my cystic acne, and I’ve been on oral prescription 3 times! This product has been so amazing for me after suffering with cystic acne for 20 years. It's been a godsend! -Carolyn
