Use after cleansing and before applying corrective serums to clear the skin of loose epidermal cells and impurities and allow for optimal product penetration.
Start usage every other day. Increase to daily or twice daily as skin becomes acclimated. Frequency may be increased to remove excess oil or to accelerate your skin care program.
Pro tip: When skin is fully acclimated to the 3% formula, move up to 9% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner, or another of Vivant’s advanced toners, to push your progress further.
Refrigerate during warmer months for a refreshing lift.
