Our 5% Mandelic Acid + 5% Lactic Acid gel cleanser does exactly that. This innovative, low-pH gel formula combines two of the gentlest and most effective alpha hydroxy acids in a daily-rinse-off cleanser, delivering mild chemical exfoliation, pore refinement and visible brightening without the dryness or sensitivity often associated with stronger acids.
Why This 5% Mandelic + 5% Lactic Combination Excels in a Cleanser

5% Mandelic Acid — A larger-molecule AHA derived from bitter almonds, mandelic acid exfoliates gently, has natural antibacterial properties, and is especially kind to acne-prone, oily and sensitive skin. It helps unclog pores, reduce breakouts and fade post-acne marks with minimal irritation.
5% Lactic Acid — A hydrating AHA sourced from milk sugars, lactic acid smooths texture, brightens dullness, supports the skin’s moisture barrier and gently fades hyperpigmentation — all while acting as a humectant to leave skin softer and more plump.

Together at 5% each, these acids provide balanced, daily-resurfacing action:

Dissolve dead surface cells and refine texture
Brighten overall complexion and fade dullness/dark spots
Unclog pores and help prevent congestion-related breakouts
Improve skin smoothness and radiance without over-exfoliation

Because the cleanser is rinsed off after 30–60 seconds, it delivers gentle yet consistent exfoliation ideal for everyday use — even for those who cannot tolerate leave-on acid products.
