Vivant 8% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Serum is a clarifying treatment designed for breakout-prone, oily, and uneven-looking skin. Developed with Clinical Mandelic Acid technology pioneered by Dr. James E. Fulton, this alcohol-free serum helps reduce visible blemishes, refine pores, brighten discoloration, and smooth uneven texture without the aggressive feel of stronger exfoliating acids.
Because mandelic acid has a larger molecular structure than many traditional AHAs, it exfoliates more gradually. This makes it a thoughtful option for skin prone to congestion, post-acne marks, sensitivity, or uneven pigmentation. Used consistently within a corrective skincare routine, it supports a clearer, brighter, and more balanced-looking complexion.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Helps reduce the appearance of blemishes and congestion
- Refines the look of enlarged pores
- Brightens uneven skin tone and visible discoloration
- Helps fade the look of post-acne marks
- Smooths rough texture and softens visible fine lines
- Alcohol-free and non-comedogenic
What You’ll See: Skin appears clearer, brighter, firmer, and more even in tone and texture. With regular use, blemishes, dark spots, visible pores, and fine lines look softened.
What You’ll Feel: Mild micro-exfoliation may occur while the skin adjusts. If excessive dryness develops, pause use for a few days and restart every other day.
What You Should Know: Mandelic acid exfoliates more gradually than glycolic acid, making it a gentler option for breakout-prone, discoloration-prone, and melanin-rich skin.
