Covalent Mandelic Cleansing Gel
Gentle acid cleanser for reactive skin
Mandelic acid has a larger molecule than glycolic, so it works more slowly and penetrates less aggressively. In a cleanser that is exactly what you want: enough exfoliation to keep pores clear, little enough irritation that reactive skin tolerates it nightly.
Formulated at pH 3.8 with a mild amphoteric surfactant system, so it removes sunscreen without stripping. Rinses clean and leaves no film.
- 8% mandelic acid, pH 3.8
- Sulphate-free surfactant base, 200 mL
- Safe for daily use on rosacea-prone skin
- Follow with a barrier moisturiser

Removes everything without stripping
Takes off SPF and a full face of makeup in one pass and my skin does not feel tight afterwards. I follow with a toner out of habit but honestly do not need to.

Lasts much longer than expected
Two months of twice-daily use and the jar is barely half gone. Works out cheaper than the drugstore balm I replaced.

Second bottle already
Bought the small size to test and immediately reordered the large. It is the only cleanser my partner and I both use without complaint.

My esthetician recommended it
She switched me off a foaming cleanser and the difference in tightness after washing was obvious within a week.
