The ultimate trifecta of acids
- Mandelic acid, an AHA, has a larger molecule size which is more slowly absorbed for more even application making it a good choice for darker skin types.
- Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, is a standard in clarifying treatments because of its keratolytic and anti-inflammatory qualities.
- Lactic acid is a mild alpha hydroxy acid used on more sensitive skins to remove impurities and gently exfoliate.
