$73.00

Size: 1 OZ

"Best Serum for melanin-rich, acne-prone skin types."—NewBeauty

A dramatically different AHA experience synergistically formulated to target the top three trouble spots—acne, aging, irregular pigmentation—in one simple, unsurpassed serum that’s safe for all skin tones.

Skin Type: Recommended for Normal, Combination and Oily skin.

Ideal for: Darker skin tones and skin too sensitive for Benzoyl Peroxide, hydroquinone and glycolics.

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.
