Glycolic acid (5%): A sugar-derived exfoliating acid that gently resurfaces to smooth the look of texture and dullness, helping reveal a brighter, more even-looking complexion with consistent daytime use.

Marine algae extract: Helps replenish hydration and support skin elasticity, leaving skin feeling smoother, more supple, and comfortably cushioned throughout the day.

Niacinamide: Helps support the skin barrier and improve the look of tone and texture, contributing to skin that appears more balanced, resilient, and refined over time.

Pro Tip: A makeup artist’s insider tip: apply Smoothing Marine Cream to freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin and let it absorb fully before sunscreen. The rich, cushiony texture smooths the skin’s surface, creating a polished canvas that helps foundation glide on evenly and wear beautifully throughout the day, especially in areas where makeup tends to crease.

Smoothing Marine Cream is a high-performance daytime anti-aging moisturizer designed to visibly smooth texture while keeping skin hydrated, comfortable, and energized throughout the day. Powered by a 5% sugar-derived glycolic acid, the formula gently refines the skin’s surface while creating a fresh, cooling sensation on contact, signaling active renewal without aggression. With continued use, skin appears more even, plumper, and more resilient, with hydration that feels supported from within.

The texture is rich and cushiony, delivering immediate comfort, yet it absorbs quickly and layers seamlessly under sunscreen and makeup. The formula is developed through Clark’s Botanicals’ research platform and informed by cultivation on the brand’s own land along the Amalfi Coast, a rare microclimate shaped by volcanic soil, salt air, and intense sun exposure. Plants grown in this environment adapt by strengthening their natural defense and renewal mechanisms, an intelligence mirrored in how the formula supports skin facing daily environmental stress.

This is what makes the cream innovative. It is designed to help skin respond intelligently to its environment, rather than overwhelming it with force. Smoothing Marine Cream embodies the Credo mission by delivering visible results through thoughtful formulation, transparency, and respect for long-term skin health, proving that clean beauty can be both sensorial and uncompromising.
