What is Alex Cosmetic Clear Gel?
Alex Cosmetic Clear Gel is a lightweight, water-based alternative to the brand’s Clear Cream. Specifically, Alex Cosmetic built it for those who prefer a gel texture on oily, impure or combination skin.
Tea tree oil is the lead active, while bearded lichen extract and licorice root support it. The brand also markets the gel as a natural after-shave treatment.
Key benefits of Alex Cosmetic Clear Gel
- Calms blemishes: tea tree oil supports skin dealing with pimples, acne and general inflammatory skin concerns.
- Soothes reactive skin: bearded lichen extract eases the look of sunburn-related irritation and redness flare-ups.
- Hydrates without weight: the gel texture moisturizes and also improves skin’s resistance without feeling heavy.
- Brightens gently: licorice root and lichen extract also support a more even-looking tone.
- Multi-use: it works as a regulating serum for combination and oily skin, as well as an after-shave.
Key ingredients
Tea tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) gives the gel its refreshing scent as well as a reputation for supporting oily and impure skin. Bearded lichen extract (Usnea Barbata) is used for skin recovering from sunburn or redness. It also has an association with easing the look of reactive, redness-prone skin.
In addition, licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) supports an even-looking tone and calms the look of sensitive, redness-prone skin. Finally, carrageenan extract (red algae) hydrates and soothes.
How to use Alex Cosmetic Clear Gel
- First, apply it to skin after cleansing or exfoliating.
- Use it as a regulating, moisturizing layer for combination, oily, impure or acne-prone skin.
- You can also apply it as an after-shave to calm freshly shaved skin.
Who it is for
Alex Cosmetic designed Clear Gel for oily, impure and combination skin. Its lightweight texture also suits anyone who finds cream textures too heavy, including for after-shave use.
Retail size vs. professional size

However, the site also lists a 100 ml size as a professional option. This listing follows the item’s confirmed 100 ml size. Even so, the brand currently gates that size behind a professional account.
