Bolden's Clear Skin Kit delivers a complete skincare set with powerful ingredients to combat aging skin and wrinkles while promoting a radiant complexion.
Our solution to maintaining clear skin is a simple 4 step process that prevents breakouts and fades dark spots.
Step 1:Agentle cleanserthat cleans deeply and prevents breakouts.
Step 2: A nourishing and calming toner that tightens pores and gently exfoliates the skin. This combo action prevents new breakouts from occurring by removing dead skin cells that clog up the pores and the mild exfoliation gradually fades existing dark spots.
Step 3:Abrightening moisturizer (SPF 30) that combines broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection with Vitamin C, a powerhouse antioxidant known for brightening the skin, and diminishing signs of sun damage. It goes on clear without leaving chalky off-white residue.
Step 4:Anighttime serum with 10% glycolic acid improves the appearance of dark spots. As the smallest alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), glycolic acid stimulates and maintains collagen production which helps improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. With regular use, the skin becomes firmer and smoother, and the overall appearance of the skin is improved.

How many hours should I wait in between skincare routines?

It's recommended to use the products twice daily—once in the morning and once in the evening, with approximately 12 hours between your AM and PM routines. Remember to cleanse, tone, treat, and moisturize in that order.
How to layer skincare products?
Follow this simple rule: apply Bolden Clear Skin Kit products from thinnest to thickest consistency for maximum effectiveness. Start with cleanser, then toner, followed by any treatment serums, and finish with moisturizer. Wait 1-2 minutes between each product to allow proper absorption. During your morning routine, always finish with sunscreen as your final step.
When to use toner, day of night?
You can use Bolden's Brightening Toner both morning and night as part of your regular skincare routine. In the morning, apply after cleansing and before your sunscreen moisturizer with Vitamin C to prep your skin for the day. At night, use after cleansing and before your repair serum to help remove any remaining impurities and enhance the penetration of your nighttime products. For those with sensitive skin, you may want to start with once-daily application and gradually increase to twice daily as your skin adjusts.

I took a while researching which product was going to be best for me and my needs. There were a couple that offered products that may have been suitable, but in the end Bolden supplied what I needed and wanted out of a skincare routine. It's simple and easy to follow thanks to the bolden skin care experts that will walk you through everything and you never feel rushed. I went from an intimidated novice to an excited woman.
Product arrived damaged /unsealed broken. This was purchased as a facial wash, clear skin package for my daughter who recently went away out of state for college unhappy with the handling or the appearance of the product upon arrival due to being damaged.
Isnt the Bolden Effect beautiful !.. 6yrs ago, I had hyperpigmentation, large pores and rough facial skin. I met Chinelo and she told me to use bolden. I started and have never stopped. So many of my friends use Bolden cuz of how I look. I would go for big events without powder and foundation just to flaunt my face and show the world how beautiful one can feel in ones own skin. I am glued to bolden for life.
When I tell you using these products in conjunction with my new face scrubber has improved my skin so much. Even my cycle acne doesn’t look the same!! I’ve never been able to find products that actually work and stay consistently working on my face. I use this set with the dark spot fixer and hydra moisturizer. My cheeks were the “worst” and even my friends who I haven’t talked to in a while noticed the difference! At that point I had been using them for about a week and a half with implementing the night treatments 4 days in. Definitely have a new customer! 🙌🏽
I love it! I’ve been using this for 2 weeks now and my skin is still purging. This is a good thing, it’s how I know it’s working. I’m looking forward to seeing how clear my skin is in another 2 months. My hyperpigmentation is almost non existent. It was 10 times worse a few weeks ago.
I have been using MK for years mainly because FF couldn’t be found and now this! This product is so lovely. I am just about 56 y/o and I try to take good care of my skin; this product is made for me, literally. I have so many exposures at my job because of what I do and of course environmental exposures and I don’t want my skin damaged because of it. I’ve stuck with the basic skincare so far and may try other products in this line, but for now I’ll stick with what’s working. Thank you Ladies for having us in mind when creating this skincare line! This is the new and improved, must have skincare line for women of African Diaspora!
I haven’t tried it yet but I want to say a million thanks to the customer service that help me with my package. I had received an email stating my package had arrived but I didn’t received it. I reach out to Bolden for assistance and I was greatly helped and I thank you for helping me receiving my package and I can’t wait to try out the products. I will certainly return with an update on how it helps my skin (hopefully it does!).
Thank you! God bless the Bolden company.
These products are #1 in my book! My skin was so dry in the past that I had to reapply moisturizer multiple times a day. Since using Bolden, all that has changed! I started with the travel size because I was skeptical. Baby, I was impressed on day one and purchased the full size products with no hesitation! No more reapplying moisturizer multiple times a day for me! I'm forever a customer! Thanks Bolden!

Love how my skin looks when I use Borden - so much that I get tons of compliments from colleagues! Looking forward to the next Borden promo so I can share a code with friends and family. Thank you for a fantastic product.
I started my skin care journey years ago but it wasn’t consistent AND a lot of these products lie when they say they cater to those with dark spots but the products show different. For the very first time in my 26 years of existence I have found a skin care line I feel is catered to me. I started with the clear skin kit and have been seeing results within the first month of using it. Then I bought the overnight spot treatment and clay mask bundle to help with my acne and IT ACTUALLY WORKS. I love their products and I’m buying from them again and again and again because I can see the difference on my skin. I couldn’t get these results from other skin care products so I’m glad that this company understands their consumers and bring top notch products that work. Very very happy customer over here 🥳
After dropping off of a routine with more expensive products, my face had broken out with acne, produced scars and the texture was no longer as smooth as I had gotten it to be. At age 35, I was extremely frustrated. I am so happy I gave Bolden a chance-the price and quality are perfect. The cleanser smells fresh and lathers nicely. The toner also smells gorgeous and doesn't leave my face dry. The serum and moisturizer are light and in only 2 weeks have begun to smooth out the texture of my skin. I use the clay mask every other day and the brightening mask daily. I also use the spot treatment and although the sulfur smell is strong, I can see my dark spots fading. I will remain consistent and look forward to continued positive results!!
Bolden was recommended to me by a friend after I'd complained about trying countless products to balance out my skin which was prone to break-outs, dryness (especially during the winter) and stubborn acne scars. Over the course of 8 weeks, my skin has not had any break-outs, the scarring on my cheeks and neck from previous acne has significantly faded and my skin feels moisturized and has a smoother texture. I am SO happy with this product and will continue to use it!
Bolden is awesome! I turned 50 in November 2021 and have tried several daily moisturizers to help with dry skin and occasional breakouts. Since using this kit and following the daily regimen steps,
I've enjoyed clearer, moisturized skin all day long. I simply love it!
I’ve been using the products for about three weeks and I love them! My skin feels wonderful and bright. My Mother ordered the set yesterday. She’s excited!
I have very oily skin and was looking for a black-owned product that would reduce the oiliness as well as moisturize my face. I ordered the clean skin kit and within a week I noticed my skin wasn’t as oily and I had fewer breakouts. Very very impressed with this product!!
I've never been one to leave reviews, unfortunately, so just know this one comes from the heart! LOL I LOVE, LOVE these skin products! They have become an integral part of my life both day and night. I've been using for months now and the improvements to my skin are amazing and getting noticed. I get compliments all the time! I wish I had taken a before pic. But I HIGHLY recommend and will likely use forever. Thanks Bolden ❤
It's been 4 weeks, since I started using the Bolden skin care kit; my skin has clear up tremendously!!! As you can see from the before & after pics, using these products have made such an enormous difference in my skin! Just 4 weeks!!! This is the best skin product that I've used in years. Thank you so much!
I love this brand! I purchased the clear skin kit back in May and have. Even using it ever since. I don’t even need to wear makeup anymore which is just as well since a mask would cover it up anyways. I’ve gotten compliments on my skin from people much younger than me. I’m 41 and Bolden is keeping my skin looking lovely.
I started my fresh face journey on June 6th and a month and a half later, my face is clear as its every been. These. products are the truth! Thank you.
I used these products for about a month. Washed my face twice a day and used the clay mask once a week. Within 2 weeks I saw I dramatic difference. The texture of my skin has change. So much smoother. My pores are smaller and skin is tighter/firmer. I have super sensitive skin and was concerned about the fragrance in the product but it was perfect for my sensitive skin. I would highly recommend.
It was burning really badly and I was so scared. But, I realized that it was my exfoliating brush, that was to harsh for my face. Once I stopped using it the burning stopped. I'm new to the whole purging skin thing and I'm happy that the products work! My favorite is the hydrating mask.
After using the SPF Moisturizer and Hydrating Mask.... I was sold on these amazing products. I knew my next purchase would be the Bolden Clear Skin Kit. My blemished and acne scared skin is headed to the next level of GLOW. I would say from this kit my favs are the toner and the night serum. I will be 48 soon and my skin has NEVER been this clear, soft and dewy. The bonus is these products are made for women of color. YES. Thank you Bolden for making these amazing products. I am a customer for life.
The Bolden toner caught my eye as it worked well. After getting the full package, the cleaner as helped my oily face skin and I look forward to having a flawless face soon. #lovemybolden
My face was uneven and I suffered from acne which started in my 50’s. I’ve also been in menopause for years. Not helping with breakouts and scaring on my face. Although it’s been only a short time. I see my skin tone is evening out. My break outs are slowing down. And my face is looking radiant
My face is so clear and I’ve never been happier with it’s appearance. I recommend to friends who ask me about my routine and tell them why my skin glows. Thank you for making such a great skincare line.
This is my first time using these products and I've only been using them for a few weeks but so far so good! I can tell they are high quality. I really love the smell and feel of the cleanser and the moisturizer is rich and creamy without being too heavy.
So the products feel and smell great. My favourite is the cleanser. Doesn’t burn my eyes. Doesn’t burn period. Very silky. At first I was purging, I’ve never really used anything else did not have a steady skin care routine before. But in week 2 I was beginning to see fade in some dark areas and general supple softness of my skin. I’ll review again after a full 30 days.
I have been using this Regimen for about 3 weeks now along with the hydrating mask. It has really done wonders for my face. As a women in my early forties, my skin was starting to go through a lot of changes. After reading reviews and watching plenty of YouTube videos, I decided to give it a try and so far I have no regrets. Finally, a product for my type of skin.
I've been using Bolden for a week now and I must say my face is starting to clean up!!! The dark marks are fading and there's this glow! Even my sons notice a difference that's how I knew it wasn't all in my head!! Outside remarks sealed the deal for me. I recommend these products, you've gotten yourself a life user😁
This is such a great line of products. My face is the best it’s ever been. Stress breakouts and period breakouts are at an all time minimum! I am so happy because I’m not a daily makeup user and this allows me my freedom!
I can take a selfie without using filters. It feels amazing. The glow is real! Never found a skincare line that would allow my face to look and feel brighter. I can freely go out in public without having to wear makeup. The sunscreen moisturizer is an everyday wear for me. I am sticking to this skincare line. Nothing but amazing!
