One serum, three functions. Developed by the Dermatologist/Biochemist who first introduced Clinical Mandelic Acid to skincare. Most routines need three separate products to clarify, even tone and smooth texture. 8% Mandelic Acid Serum does all three in a single step, with a formula gentle enough for every skin tone and for sensitive skin.
Three functions in one serum
REFINE – Clinical Mandelic Acid + Lactic Acid
Gently exfoliate to improve the look of congestion, rough texture, dullness and post-breakout discoloration. Evens tone. Visibly fades dark spots, discoloration and post-breakout marks for a more even complexion.
BALANCE – Niacinamide + Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment
Help skin look clearer, more even and less shiny, with a firmer-looking complexion.
HYDRATE – Urea + Sodium PCA + Inositol
Help hold moisture so skin stays comfortable while it exfoliates. Smoother texture, a brighter look and a softer look of fine lines.

Diana @ soft_esthetics suggested I try Vivant products and she completely transformed my skin. Her corrective regimen started with a hydrafacial and a specialized skincare program with several Vivant products. I’m forever grateful to her and Vivant. I love my skin, and Diana @ soft_esthetics in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. I highly recommend her

I’ve been using this face serum for a month now and my skin has not looking this good in so long! My acne scars are clearing up and it also helps minimize any new breakouts that emerge. I really only have been using tower 28 face spray, this serum, and à la roche pose face moisturizer. It has been a game changer!

"I have tried several products with the same ingredients but 100% different quality. Vivant gives me the best result. Do not be fooled by the cheap options; not every 'Mandelic Acid' is the same."
Dear Kate,
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We are happy to learn that you love the 8% Mandelic Acid Serum. Yes, our Mandelic is USP, meets quality and purity of the standards set by the US. Dr. Fulton, Vivant's Founder, always used USP in his clinics and we have maintained the same high standards set by him.
Thank you for choosing Vivant and we appreciate your support and loyalty!
