Level 2 is recommended for: Body usage only Severe acne or folliculitis Transition to Level 2 after using the Level 1 serum if desired results haven’t yet been achieved How it Works: Exfoliating and antibacterial: Mandelic acid penetrates the pores to slough off dead skin cells, fight bacteria, and dissolve congested material. Antifungal: Mandelic acid’s naturally occurring antifungal and antibacterial properties work wonders for folliculitis (a fungal skin infection). What to Expect: Like any new skincare routine, it will take 2-4 weeks to begin seeing results. Some people experience substantial clearing within the first month. For others, it can take a few months to see best results. For optimal results, apply twice-a-day, every day. Consistent application of AlmondClear is the key to clear skin. When applied twice daily, one bottle should last between 3-6 weeks, depending on the size of the area covered. If used to treat a small area of skin, one bottle could last for several months. Application of this product may cause your hands to peel slightly at first. To prevent this, wash your hands with soap and apply hand lotion immediately after use.
