As someone dealing with oily and acne-prone skin, this 3% Mandelic Acid facewash has been a staple in my routine. It's incredibly gentle compared to Salicylic acid but effectively keeps my pores clear and prevents new breakouts. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without that uncomfortable 'squeaky clean' or stripped feeling.
The only disadvantage is that if used twice daily on sensitive or combination skin, it can cause slight dryness around the nose and mouth area. I recommend starting with once a day or following up with a good hydrating moisturizer.
