Ultraceuticals Z Clear Shikimic Hydroxy-Biome Facial Serum is a lightweight daily exfoliating serum for oily, combination and breakout-prone skin, targeting congestion, excess oil, uneven texture, visible redness and recurring blemishes while supporting a balanced skin microbiome.

Powered by Ultraceuticals’ Hydroxy-Biome System, this fast-absorbing serum combines Shikimic Acid, Mandelic Acid and Salicylic Acid for multi-level exfoliation that works across the skin’s surface and within pores to clear congestion, refine uneven texture and help reduce excess oil. Inulin and Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide provide dual prebiotic support for the skin microbiome, while ingredients including Niacinamide, Sodium Hyaluronate and Centella-derived actives help maintain hydration and skin comfort. The result is a more considered approach to breakout care that supports clearer, smoother and more balanced-looking skin without relying on an aggressively drying formula.

Good to Know: You don’t need to experience regular acne to benefit from this serum, as it can also be used to target congestion, enlarged pores, excess oil and uneven skin texture.

Product Size: 30ml

Key Ingredients

  • Shikimic Acid (AHA) – Provides gentle surface exfoliation to refine rough texture, improve skin clarity and help reduce the appearance of redness.
  • Mandelic Acid (AHA) – A larger-molecule AHA that delivers controlled surface exfoliation while helping refine texture and manage excess oil.
  • Salicylic Acid (BHA) – Oil-soluble exfoliant that works within pores to clear excess sebum, dead skin cells and congestion associated with breakouts.
  • Inulin + Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide – Dual prebiotics that help support beneficial microorganisms and maintain a balanced skin microbiome.
  • Niacinamide – Helps support skin barrier function while improving the appearance of uneven tone, redness and excess oil.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate + Sodium PCA – Humectants that help attract and retain moisture so skin remains hydrated and comfortable.

“I’ve used acne serums before that left my skin dry and flaky, but this feels completely different. My skin is less congested around my chin and nose and feels much smoother without that tight feeling.”

Andrea, Greensborough VIC

★★★★★

“I introduced this slowly because my skin can react to acids, and I’m really happy with it. My breakouts have become less frequent and the texture through my cheeks looks much more even.”

Jade, Brisbane QLD

★★★★★

“This has been especially good for the clogged pores around my T-zone. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t feel sticky and my skin looks clearer and more balanced overall.”

Bonnie, Newcastle NSW
