Firmer, brighter, more even skin tone and texture. Gentle exfoliation reduces the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and acne impactions.
What You’ll Feel
Micro-exfoliation is normal. If excessive drying occurs, skip a few days and restart every other day.
What You Should Know
Anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, brightening, gently exfoliating Mandelic Acid will not trigger hyperpigmentation. Excellent alternative to glycolic acid for sensitive or dark skin tones.
How To Use
Regimen Step: Three
Use following cleansing and toning steps, when skin is primed for optimum product penetration.

Pro tips:
Apply Pure C + E after the Mandelic Acid serum has dried for added brightening and photoprotective effects.
