6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant

There’s another heavy hitter from Paula’s Choice that’s found its way into my routine this week: the 6% Mandelic + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant. This is a fantastic alternative to manual exfoliation that helps slough dead skin, debris, and pore-clogging congestion away without further exacerbating the flared-up inflammation around pimples. Use a few times a week, after your toner or essence and before any other serums or your moisturizer. Always finish with SPF when using any acids (and in general, c’mon, anti-aging 101!).
