“PURE MANDELIC EXFOLIANT”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: mandelic acid.
Evens skin toneMandelic acidWorks well
“Helps turn over blemishes, deep cleanse pores, and remove hyperpigmentation”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: mandelic acid
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-blemishMandelic acid, Aloe barbadensis leaf juiceNot delivered
“Harness the purest power of 10% mandelic acid in a base of organic aloe vera to help control blemishes and reveal younger looking skin.”
This product contains ingredients (mandelic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
MoisturizingNot advertised by the brand · Glycerin, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 1 moreWorks
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
