Mandelic acid is derived from bitter almonds and is unique among AHAs for its larger molecular size: it penetrates the skin more slowly, exfoliates more gently, and is far less likely to cause irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation than glycolic or lactic acid. This makes it the ideal active for sensitive skin, darker skin tones, acne-prone skin, and anyone who wants consistent exfoliation without the risk. Chamomile, green tea, and comfrey root soothe and balance through the cleanse, while Panthenol and glycerin maintain hydration. The result: a clearer, brighter, more refined complexion that's prepped and primed for everything that follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"z__ic-trust\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"z__ic-trust-item\"\u003eProfessional Spa Grade\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"z__ic-trust-item\"\u003eEsthetician Recommended\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"z__ic-trust-item\"\u003eSafe for All Skin Tones\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"z__ic-trust-item\"\u003ePregnancy-Safe\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"z__ic-trust-item\"\u003eGlyMed Plus Authorized\u003c\/span\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"z__ic-feat-warm\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"z__ic-feature\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"z__ic-feature-text\"\u003e\n        \u003cp class=\"z__ic-section-label\"\u003eGentle Active Exfoliation\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003e3% Mandelic Acid — The Gentlest AHA for Daily Brightening\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eMandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid derived from bitter almonds.
