That sinking feeling of catching your reflection and seeing that new pimples have popped out - I know it all too well and so do many others. That’s when the damage control starts, trying all sorts of acne treatments. The problem is, many of these treatments dry out and sensitise my skin, leaving it more vulnerable to new breakouts. This is such a common skincare woe that a well-loved facial salon, My Cozy Room, has formulated an acne treatment for their customers to put a stop to the acne cycle - the BeKind Clear Skin Elixir.
This highly raved product has powerful acne-clearing properties while having a non-drying formula that’s gentle enough for sensitive skin. At the same time, it also works to prevent future breakouts so the complexion stays blemish-free in the long term.
We’re all besties here, so, of course, I’m not gatekeeping BeKind. This underrated luxury skincare brand was created by My Cozy Room, a cult-favourite facialist in Singapore for the past 14 years. BeKind’s mantra is in its name - to be oh-so kind to the skin. Its formulas contain antioxidants and active ingredients that effectively tackle issues like acne, dryness and sensitivity while repairing and protecting the skin. All products are oil-free, non-comedogenic, free of harsh ingredients, and also undergo rigorous testing to ensure they contain only clinically-proven ingredients. As an added plus, they also have lightweight textures designed specifically for our humid climate.

One of BeKind’s bestsellers is the Clear Skin Elixir. Fun fact: it’s also used in My Cozy Room’s award-winning Ultimate Pore Extraction Facial. Packed with powerful natural ingredients, this non-peeling serum does it all - treats blemishes, removes excess oil and dead skin cells, and prevents future breakouts.
After applying the serum, my skin doesn’t feel the least bit tight or dry, but refreshed and rejuvenated. I reapplied it on particularly problematic areas throughout the day and my skin wasn’t irritated at all! This is all thanks to seven core ingredients:
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): It reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and repairs the skin barrier to prevent dehydration.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia Extract: Derived from the tea tree plant, this extract acts as a natural antiseptic, reducing acne scars and softening the skin.
- Salicylic Acid: This chemical sheds away layers of dead cells to unclog pores, effectively reducing pimples and blackheads.
- Oligopeptide: A protein that possesses acne-healing properties, it repairs the damaged skin barrier to calm inflammation.
- Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract: It soothes the skin and prevents redness and inflammation.
- Peppermint Extract: It controls acne inflammation and kills acne-causing bacteria.
Now, this serum didn’t make my pimples magically disappear overnight. However, it did work, and worked in a unique way that makes sense! What it did was accelerate the pimple’s maturity instead of leaving it trapped beneath my skin as a visible bump. After applying this serum throughout the day, my pus-filled pimple felt soothed and looked less red. It also seemed to grow bigger till it ‘ripened’, burst and healed. For my zits that didn’t have pus, the Clear Skin Elixir calmed the inflammation till it became smooth and repaired. Over time, my skin had significantly less acne and excessive oiliness, and my overall complexion looked more even, radiant and healthy.
Each 3ml bottle lasts about a week. My acne is relatively minor, and so one bottle was enough to get the job done. For those with more severe acne, long-term application over 3 months or more will lead to a visible skin transformation.
