A liquid exfoliant formulated for dry, combination, and normal skin types dealing with dark spots, uneven texture, and signs of aging. It combines 6% mandelic acid, the gentlest AHA, to target discoloration and wrinkles, with 2% lactic acid, a time-released AHA that hydrates and visibly smooths the skin's surface. Yarrow root extract rounds out the formula by supporting and soothing the moisture barrier and microbiome.
