This product combines three naturally derived acids to brighten, clear skin, even skin tone and refine pores. Mandelic acid is based from almonds, L-Ascorbic from oranges and Niacinamide is a natural form of Vitamin B-12. This pairing is a power product, so use sparingly; not daily. 

ingredients: Gentle Foam (SLSA), Mandelic acid, L-Ascorbic Acid, Niacinamide (Vitamin B-12)

directions: With damp hands, pour a nickel size amount onto hands, sprinkle water onto powder and emulsify with hands to apply to the face. Massage powder onto the face for 30 seconds, rinse  with cool water.  Follow with moisturizing products like vegetable glycerin-based toners and moisturizers that do not contain more acids (BHAs or AHAs) as your skin can become hyper sensitive and/or burn. Use sunscreen to protect skin. Recommended for night-time use. If product browns or turns dark yellow discontinue use as the L-Absorbic acid can go rancid. Do not use with retinoids or use after over-exfoliation from waxing or shaving.
