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.
