This viscous gel lightly foams to deep clean normal, combo and oily skin types. Mandelic Acid, derived from bitter almonds, works to promote an even skin tone and texture while dissolving impurities that contribute to inflamed acne and is also gentle enough for daily use. Men with follicular issues can use this cleanser to shave with. Also great as a body wash for acneic skin. Mandelic is the only AHA that is anti-fungal, and works well for all fungal acne types and folliculitis.
