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: Apply an even layer over the entire face, neck, and décolleté (no spot treating). Allow serum to dry briefly before applying additional products or makeup to skin.

Pro tips: 

Apply Spin Trap after the Mandelic Acid serum has dried for added brightening and photoprotective effects.

Best Serum! If you're hesitant, GIVE IT A TRY!

I've been acne free ever since I was a kid until I had some medical complications. Ever since, I have been suffering from mild hormonal acne 6 months. I've tried tretinoin among other chemical treatments. My skin was purging too much for my taste, especially on the forehead and chin area. Instead, went to see an esthetician.
The esthetician recommended me this mandelic acid since it's gentle and won't penetrate too deep in my skin. Since then I've been using this product every day. Even after a a week my skin was stable and the acne scars were healing/fading.

I'm now on my second bottle.
It's been only 4 months using this product and I've seen so much improvement. I rarely breakout and even if I do the acne doesn't spread nor worsen. I pair it with generic vitamin c serum which was the recommended routine.

If you are on the fence about it, give this a try. It is worth every penny. Also the first bottle lasted me about 3 months!

Dear Yearim,
