Product Summary
"Vivant Skin Care - 9 Percent Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner" is effective for: Exfoliation and Evens skin tone
Ingredient callouts
- This product contains acids (mandelic acid 1.30% - 1.90%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants).
