10% Mandelic Acid Silk – Toner/Serum Hybrid – Overview
This innovative formulation is a high-performance toner/serum hybrid powered by 10% Mandelic Acid. It delivers the intense skin-renewing power of an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Hyaluronic Acid without the typical dryness, stinging, or irritation. Designed for daily use after cleansing, this leave-on treatment features a unique oil-free, water-based texture that glides onto the skin like silk. It is completely free from common irritants like alcohol, fragrance, and witch hazel, leaving the skin comfortable, balanced, and perfectly prepped for subsequent skincare steps.
The Serum Hybrid (Mandelic Acid Silk) Advantage
This product eliminates the need to choose between a clarifying toner and an anti-aging serum by fusing both steps into one versatile treatment:
- Dual-Purpose Function: It acts as an active treatment toner that hydrates and balances, while delivering the high-concentration actives of a premium exfoliating serum.
- Flexible Routine Positioning: It can be applied directly with the fingers during the serum step, or dispensed onto a cotton pad to create a fresh, skin-smoothing AHA toner pad.
- Enhanced Product Penetration: By sweeping away dead skin cells like a toner, it primes the skin barrier to significantly boost the absorption of any serums or moisturizers applied afterward.
- Silky, Oil-Free Texture: Unlike harsh, drying toners or heavy serums, it provides a luxurious, silk-like skin feel while remaining entirely water-based and non-comedogenic.
