Overview
A mandelic and lactic acid toner from Purposeful Skincare built around licorice root, kombucha and pomegranate extract, aimed at refining pores and treating breakouts. Alcohol-free and silicone-free at 100ml. Suited to those wanting a gentle chemical exfoliant rather than a hydrating-only toner.
Mandelic acid is a larger-molecule AHA that tends to be gentler than glycolic, which fits the brand's claim of suitability for dry and acne-prone skin. Niacinamide in the mix adds an oil-control angle alongside the exfoliation. The listing is cruelty-free and vegan, details worth confirming still hold if buying internationally.
- Mandelic and lactic acid blend
- Licorice root and niacinamide
- Cruelty-free and vegan
- 100ml / 3.4 oz bottle
Who it's for
Works for people managing breakouts or dullness who can tolerate a mild chemical exfoliant, and for dry or dehydrated skin per the brand's stated use case. Not the choice for anyone currently using strong retinoids or other acids who doesn't want to stack actives.
Pros and cons
- Mandelic acid is a gentler entry point into chemical exfoliation
- Formulated without silicone or alcohol
- Cruelty-free and vegan
- Not suited to skin already using multiple active ingredients
- No fragrance information given beyond the mandelic scent name
Performance notes
Mandelic acid works more slowly than glycolic acid but is gentler on the skin barrier, so expect gradual improvement in texture and breakouts rather than immediate change. Licorice root and niacinamide are included for their oil-control and brightening reputation alongside the acid exfoliation.
