The Mandelic Trio

Clear. Brighten. Smooth, without irritation.

Our Mandelic Trio is a thoughtfully formulated 3-step system that supports skin clarity, brightens tone, smooths texture, and keeps the barrier intact. It’s ideal for sensitive, breakout-prone, pigmented, and dull skin types seeking results without harshness.

This trio includes:

• THE MANDELIC CLEANSING GEL – a gentle acid-based daily cleanser
• THE MANDELIC SCRUB – a dual exfoliator with a refreshing peppermint finish
• THE MANDELIC META SERUM – a hydrating acid treatment that refines and brightens

Together, they work to:

• Exfoliate dead skin cells gently and evenly
• Minimize congestion and refine pores
• Fade pigmentation and post-acne marks
• Boost clarity and radiance without disrupting the skin barrier
• Improve texture and smooth rough areas (especially effective on body and keratosis-prone zones)
• Deliver visible results while remaining non-irritating and acne-safe

This trio was designed to pair seamlessly with any of our treatment serums and moisturizers, so you can easily adjust your regimen based on your current skin goals:

For Brightening & Spot Correction:
Use with our Vitamin C Serum or Plant Stem Cell Serum during the day to target dark spots and boost radiance.

For Deeper Exfoliation:
Alternate with our Retinol Serum on non-acid nights. Never layer acids and retinol together—give your skin time to rest and respond.

For Plumping & Soothing Hydration:
Follow with our Hyaluronic Acid Serum and your preferred BIBA moisturizer to deeply hydrate and protect your skin barrier.

Daily Protection Is Essential:
Always finish your morning routine with broad-spectrum SPF. Exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV exposure, and sunscreen is essential to protect your glow and prevent pigment rebound.

What is the Mandelic Trio, and how does it work?

The Mandelic Trio is a 3-step exfoliating and clarifying system that includes a gentle Mandelic Cleansing Gel, a refreshing Mandelic Scrub, and the treatment-strength Mandelic Meta Serum. Together, they help unclog pores, refine texture, even skin tone, and brighten dull, congested, or breakout-prone skin—without irritating or compromising the skin barrier.

Who is this trio best suited for?

This system is ideal for:

• Sensitive skin that needs exfoliation but reacts to stronger acids
• Acne-prone and congested skin
• Pigmented or uneven skin tone
• Keratosis pilaris and body breakouts
• Dull, rough, or textured skin in need of renewal

Can I use all three Mandelic products daily?

THE MANDELIC CLEANSING GEL: Safe for daily use, morning and night.

THE MANDELIC SCRUB: Use based on your skin’s needs—anywhere from daily to 2x per week. It’s especially effective on the body.

THE MANDELIC META SERUM: Start with 1–2 nights per week and increase as your skin responds. Some may tolerate nightly use, others may need to space it out more.

Can I use this trio with other actives like retinol, Vitamin C, or peptides?

Yes, the Mandelic Trio is designed to be flexible and pair with other treatments.

• Use Vitamin C or Plant Stem Cell Serum during the day for extra brightening and antioxidant support.
• Alternate nights with Retinol Serum (don’t layer directly with acids).
• Pair with Hyaluronic Acid Serum and moisturizers to boost hydration and support the barrier.

Should I use sunscreen with this routine?

Yes. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential when using AHAs like mandelic acid. Exfoliation increases sun sensitivity, and sunscreen helps protect your skin and preserve your results.

Is the Mandelic Trio safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Absolutely. Mandelic Acid has a larger molecular size, making it one of the gentlest AHAs available. It exfoliates without triggering inflammation and has antibacterial properties, making it ideal for acne-prone and reactive skin types.

Can I use the Mandelic Trio on my body?

Yes! The Mandelic Scrub and Cleansing Gel are excellent for areas like the chest, back, shoulders, and arms. They help address body breakouts, rough texture, and ingrown hairs, while the peppermint in the scrub offers a cooling, refreshing finish.

Will this trio dry out my skin?

No. Unlike harsher exfoliating systems, the Mandelic Trio is formulated with skin-soothing, hydrating ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to support the skin barrier throughout the exfoliation process.

Can I use this trio if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

Mandelic Acid is generally considered one of the safer exfoliating acids during pregnancy, but we always recommend checking with your healthcare provider before introducing any new active skincare products while pregnant or nursing.
