If you've bought Clere Glyco Oil, there's a good chance you found it while searching for a simple, no-fuss way to add moisture back into dry skin or hair. It's one of our best-performing products for exactly that reason — but it isn't the only thing Clere makes. Here's an honest look at the rest of the range, so you know what else is worth adding to your routine.
Who is Clere?
Clere has been trusted for generations to care for skin and leave it feeling soft, smooth and looking beautiful, with roots going back to 1961. The brand's body lotions, body crèmes, petroleum jelly and glycerine have long been household staples in South African homes, and that heritage carries through to the range Cosmetize stocks in the UK today. It's a brand built on straightforward, functional skincare rather than elaborate formulas — which is part of why the Glyco Oil resonates with so many people looking for something simple that works.

A closer look at the Glyco Oil
Clere Glyco Oil – 100ml is a lightweight oil designed to moisturise, soften and protect both skin and hair. Its full ingredient listing is glycerin — a well-established humectant, meaning it works by drawing moisture in and helping the skin or hair hold on to it. Clere describes it as suitable for all skin and hair types, absorbing quickly without leaving a greasy residue, which is why it tends to get used for everything from daily body moisturising to adding a bit of shine and manageability to hair.
It's a small, unfussy product, and that simplicity is likely a big part of why it performs so well — it does one job and does it without asking much of the person using it.
The rest of the range
Clere Pure Glycerine is the range's other glycerine-led product, available in three sizes (100ml, 200ml and 400ml) so you can pick a size that suits how often you'd use it. Like the Glyco Oil, it's built around glycerine's basic moisturising and softening properties, making it a natural pairing if you already get on with the Glyco Oil and want a larger, more concentrated glycerine option for body use.
Clere Petroleum Jelly Cocoa Butter (250ml) and Clere Petroleum Jelly Yellow (450ml) are both classic petroleum-jelly-based moisturisers, positioned for general everyday skin protection and softness. The Cocoa Butter version adds a cocoa butter component to the base jelly, while the Yellow version is Clere's more traditional, no-frills petroleum jelly.
Clere Petroleum Jelly Baby Fresh (250ml) follows the same petroleum jelly base, positioned for gentle, everyday use.
Across all three petroleum jelly products, the core idea is the same: a protective, occlusive layer that helps skin retain moisture, rather than an active treatment for any particular skin concern.
Who this range suits
Clere's own product descriptions position this range as suitable for all skin types, and the ingredients involved — glycerine and petroleum jelly — are both well-established, widely-used moisturising and protective ingredients. That said, "suitable for all skin types" is a general positioning statement rather than a guarantee for every individual, and if you have specific skin sensitivities or a diagnosed skin condition, it's worth checking with a pharmacist or GP before introducing anything new into your routine, Clere included.
This isn't a range built around treating a specific skin issue like scarring, dark spots or uneven tone — despite what you might see if you search for similarly-named products from other markets. Cosmetize's Clere Glyco Oil is a glycerine-based moisturising oil, not a glycolic-acid or brightening treatment, so if that's specifically what you're looking for, it's worth checking the ingredient list of any product before buying, wherever you shop.
Where to find the full range?
You can browse the complete, current Clere range at Cosmetize any time via the Clere brand page, where you'll always see what's currently available. If you've already found your way to the Glyco Oil, the Pure Glycerine is probably the most natural next step — same core ingredient, different format — while the petroleum jelly range is worth a look if you want a heavier, more protective option for very dry areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Clere Glyco Oil the same as glycolic acid oil?
No. Despite similar naming used by some other retailers, Cosmetize's Clere Glyco Oil is a glycerine-based moisturising oil — its full ingredient listing is Glycerin, not a glycolic acid (AHA) product.
Can I use the Glyco Oil on both my skin and hair?
Clere positions it as suitable for both, and it's often used for daily body moisturising as well as adding shine and manageability to hair.
Which Clere product should I try if I already like the Glyco Oil?
Clere Pure Glycerine shares the same core ingredient in a larger size, making it a natural next step if you want more for body use.
Is the whole Clere range suitable for sensitive skin?
Clere describes the range as suitable for all skin types generally, but that's a general positioning statement, not a guarantee — if you have specific sensitivities or a diagnosed skin condition, check with a pharmacist or GP before trying something new.
