How To Use It - The Anna Way
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin exactly as directed by your Skin Gal Acne Expert. Follow with hydrating serums and moisturizer once fully absorbed.
Use only as recommended in your customized Acne Bootcamp routine. Because mandelic acid is an exfoliating acid, always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
Anna's Pro Tip:
Mandelic acid is one of my favorite exfoliating acids for acne because it's effective while still being gentle. I typically introduce it once your skin barrier is healthy and ready for additional exfoliation to help speed up clearing and improve texture.

Why Anna Loves It
"This is one of the products that really helps take Acne Bootcamp results to the next level. Mandelic acid is fantastic for keeping pores clear and smoothing texture, but only when it's introduced at the right time. That's why I always customize when clients begin using it."
