Mandelic Brightening Serum helps to reduce pigmentation, exfoliates, and helps reduce pores’ appearance. This dynamic serum contains BioFense and Dendriclear™ to support the skin’s microbiome, reduce sensitivity, and enhance barrier function. Niacinamide provides anti-inflammatory-like support as well as increases cellular energy. Azeloglicina® normalizes sebum and brightens the skin for a more balanced complexion.

• Brightens

• Assists with surface renewal

• Helps to regulate sebum

• Lessens future breakouts

Skin Type

• All skin types

• Ideal for combination, acne, and hyperpigmentation

Key Ingredients

• L-Mandelic Acid (5%) is a larger molecular weight alpha hydroxy acid with antibacterial properties and works as an exfoliant, allowing dead skin cells to slough off, making room for the regrowth of new skin. Improves wrinkling, roughness, and softens skin.

• Azeloglicina® (3%) (Potassium Azelaoyl Diglycinate) is a dynamic tyrosinase inhibitor to help prevent hyperpigmentation and reduce existing dark spots to improve overall skin tone. It offers anti-inflammatory benefits as well as regulates sebum activity to support acneic skin types.

• BioFense (2%) (Lactobacillus Ferment) is a probiotic to help enhance the skin barrier which in turn provides antimicrobial properties and supports the immune system of the skin. By supporting the skin microbiome, it will help reduce erythema caused by acne or skin sensitivities.

• Niacinamide (1%) is Vitamin B3 that addresses many skin disorders due to its anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin B3 addresses cellular respiration, and lipid synthesis, inhibiting skin pigmentation and improving epidermal barrier function. Vitamin B3 treats the mitochondria (energy source) of the cell to repair DNA damage from the sun. Vitamin B3 also treats inflammatory acne.

• Dendriclear™ (.4%) (Glycerin, Water, and Polylysine) reduces the activity of destructive bacteria, decreases inflammation, and regulates keratinization to improve skin microbiome; especially for acneic skin types.

• Synovea® HR (Hexylresorcinol) clinically proven to be 4x more effective than hydroquinone, is a potent antioxidant and effective skin brightener that works in synergy with vitamin B3 (niacinamide) to provide powerful cellular support.

• Kojic Acid (3%) inhibits tyrosinase and brightens existing pigmentation naturally. It is comparable to hydroquinone without the negative side effects.

• Glycolic Acid (2%) is a deeply penetrating alpha hydroxy acid that reduces wrinkles and promotes resurfacing to refine skin texture. It provides progressive skin clearing and promotes cellular renewal that expedites the healing of breakouts.

• Retinol (1%) is a Vitamin A derivative that exfoliates to stimulate collagen production and reduce visible signs of aging.

 Please Note: 

The Glycolic and Retinol Pads contain glycolic acid and retinol which give the formula its yellow color visible upon opening.

The Kojic Acid in this product is potent and highly active. While Kojic Acid does not affect the yellow color initially, over time it will darken with changes in light, pH or temperature, causing the actual pads to darken. This is normal and does not reduce the efficacy of the formula.

The seal of the product can also absorb the darkened product. Over time kojic acid will darken causing pads to darken as well. Off-gassing can occur, which can be absorbed by the seal of the jar and may result in darkening or discoloration of the seal. Discoloration of the seal is normal and does not reduce the efficacy of the product.
