WHAT IS IT?

If your exfoliating face wash is leaving your skin red, irritated, or darker where breakouts were, you’ve been using the wrong acid. This mandelic acid face wash cleanses, exfoliates, and fades post-acne marks gently without causing further inflammation or irritation.

What This Mandelic Acid Face Wash Does

• Gentle Chemical Exfoliation: 5% Mandelic Acid gently loosens dead skin cell bonds and exfoliates the surface layer to unclog pores and visibly improve skin texture.
• Acne Control: It reduces acne-causing bacteria, controls excess sebum, and clears mild to moderate breakouts with consistent use.
• Fades Hyperpigmentation: Mandelic Acid gradually fades post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks over time, making it a safer brightening AHA for melanin-rich and darker skin tones.
• Anti-Inflammatory Protection: Contains antioxidants to reduce inflammation from active breakouts and protect against oxidative damage during cleansing.
• Soothing and Calming: It calms the skin surface during the exfoliating cleanse, reducing post-use redness and sensitivity.

Shelf Life: 1 year from the date of first use.

HOW TO USE

• Wet face with lukewarm water.
• Dispense a small amount onto your fingertips or palm.
• Massage gently across your face in circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds.
•  Leave on skin for 1 to 2 minutes before rinsing to maximise exfoliation.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer.

Frequency: 2 to 3 times per week to start. Increase to daily use as your skin builds tolerance.

Pro Tip: Always apply SPF the morning after using this face wash. Mandelic Acid increases skin sensitivity to UV exposure, and UV damage is the number one trigger of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin. The exfoliation works for you or against you, depending on whether you use sunscreen.
