I have used Face Reality Mandelic Serum (with varying percentages throughout the years) with my acne journey. While I am technically in a "maintenance" stage of my acne, I still need to use an exfoliant daily in order to keep congestion and acne at bay. My esthetician ended up telling me that she trialed this product and actually really liked it, so when I ran out of my Face Reality serum I purchased this. And I have now purchased my second bottle. If you were on the fence, let this be your sign. It is scentless and the formulation is very elegant- it almost just feels like water when you put it on. My skin has been the brightest it has ever been and the smoothest... way better results than the mandelic serums I have used for years.

I also tried out the Vivant mandelic with less stellar results. Obviously all skin is different, but I highly recommend this product. It is "low and slow" exfoliation as some have mentioned, and as Sofie herself recommends, which apparently works wonderful on my skin. I do occasionally need a lil boost of higher percentage masks/peel pads throughout the month (ahem R&D team!! please make one!) but this is a truly wonderful daily product to add to your staple routine.
