A Deep Clean That Goes Beyond the Surface

Face Reality Mandelic Face and Body Wash is a multi-tasking cleanser formulated to tackle breakouts, rough texture, and discoloration on both the face and body. It is ideal for those dealing with acne or folliculitis in hard-to-reach areas like the back, chest, or shoulders. It is fragrance-free, vegan, and pregnancy safe.

"We recommend Mandelic Face & Body Wash to clients working on breakouts, post-breakout dark marks, texture and early signs of aging. I use it on my body after workouts and on hot summer days, because dead skin cells mix with oil and sweat and clog the pores, which is how body breakouts start. If you already use other exfoliating acids, count this cleanser as one of them, because your skin feels the total amount across your routine."

Powered by Mandelic Acid

This wash uses mandelic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate dead skin, fade discoloration, and keep pores clear. Because it is oil-soluble, it can also target excess oil and buildup inside the pores, making it effective for both face and body. Gluconolactone adds mild exfoliation while hydrating the skin.

Mandelic Acid

Larger molecular size AHA than glycolic or lactic acid, which allows for slower absorption and makes it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Gluconolactone

Provides mild exfoliation while also hydrating and strengthening the skin barrier, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.

Grape Seed Extract

Provides strong free-radical protection, helps soothe inflammation, and supports collagen and elastin preservation in the skin.

Gentle Enough for Regular Use

While active and effective, Mandelic Face and Body Wash is gentle enough to use daily on most skin types. It is especially well-suited for those who cannot tolerate stronger acids or are looking for a more even, smooth complexion over time. Grape seed extract provides free-radical protection and helps soothe inflammation.

Boosts Any Acne Routine

This cleanser is an excellent option for acne-prone skin that wants more than just surface cleansing. It reduces buildup and refines texture while brightening and supporting a clearer, more balanced complexion with consistent daily or weekly use. Massage it into damp skin, rinse with tepid water, and use it after workouts or on hot summer days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who should use Mandelic Face and Body Wash?

This product is great for anyone dealing with acne, ingrown hairs, rough texture, or dark spots on the face or body. It’s especially useful for oily or combination skin types and works well for those with body breakouts.

What’s the difference between Face Reality Mandelic Wash and Mandelic Scrub?

The wash is gentle enough for regular use and can also be used on inflamed acne since it doesn’t contain scrub particles. The scrub is better suited for non-inflamed acne like clogged pores and blackheads, as the fine beads help physically clear buildup. It’s best to avoid the scrub on inflamed breakouts, but it works well when skin needs extra help unclogging.

What makes mandelic acid different from other acids?

Mandelic acid is one of the most gentle AHAs due to its larger molecular size. It penetrates more slowly, making it ideal for sensitive, reactive, or skin of color. It also helps with oil control and post-acne marks.

Can I use it with other actives?

Yes, but be mindful of layering too many exfoliants. If you're using benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or retinoids, space them out or alternate days to prevent over-drying. Always follow with a moisturizer and SPF.

Will it dry out my skin?

Not likelyβ€”this formula balances exfoliation with soothing botanical extracts. Still, it's important to follow with a hydrator or moisturizer to maintain barrier health, especially if you’re using it daily.
