What To Expect

What You’ll See

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.  

Frequency: Up to twice daily - AM and/or PM. Start usage every other day and build to daily use.

Method: Start usage every other day for two weeks by applying over the entire area (no spot treating). After two weeks, apply daily. Mild irritation is normal. If this occurs, skip a few days and restart every other day.

Pro tips: 

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

May be used on face, neck, chest, and back.

Really Amazing Stuff

I have really stubborn closed comedones. I’ve been using differen gel for a couple of years but it wasn’t working at all to clear them up. This serum has cleared up at least half of them in just a week. My skin texture looks smoother and healthier. It’s also really good for sensitive skin, I’ve had peeling and dryness but it’s been mild. Would highly recommend for anybody.
