The great thing about By Wishtrend's Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water is that its safe for use on sensitive and darker skin tones that don’t ordinarily tolerate AHAs. Mandelic acid is the shyer sister to popular AHA glycolic acid, but no less effective in terms of its exfoliating abilities. Because mandelic acid is made of larger molecules, it doesn’t penetrate the skin as deeply as other AHAs. However, it still accelerates skin turnover, and is both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. By Wishtrend uses a relatively modest 5% concentration, so it’s safe enough to use even on acne and rosacea prone skin! What makes By Wishtrend’s mandelic acid peel superior to others is its non- tacky texture and superb formulation. In addition to a relatively low % of AHA, it contains vitamin B5 (a humectant), Centella (to help prevent inflammation) and other moisturizing factors. Unlike other AHA treatments, Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water can actually ease redness and deliver hydration while buffing the skin. We also love the addition of licorice root, which gives this toner an extra brightening boost. In what seems to be the case with any By Wishtrend product, it isn’t long before the results are seen. Users observe dramatically smoother and clearer skin, as well as a softer and more supple feel within a week. Yep, it’s that good! Check out our review of Wishtrend’s Mandelic Acid toner here. . Don’t forget AHAs tend to make the skin more photosensitive, so slather on the SPF during the day!
Most people don’t give too much thought to their cleanser, but luckily By Wishtrend has. Its Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash combines the brightening effects of an exfoliator, the blackhead removing ability of a scrub and the balanced feel of a low-pH cleanser in one handy product. Ingredients like papaya enzymes, baking soda and green tea extract are the prime features of this formula, making this the skin-clearing face wash of your dreams. By Wishtrend’s Powder Wash kind of looks and smells like matcha powder – but remember this goes solely on your face (and not in your teapot). If you haven’t used a powder cleanser before, it’s quite a novel feeling shaking out what feels like wholewheat flour on your hands. However, the process is quick and fuss free: just use a coin sized amount, lather in wet hands and gently massage into your face. There’s no need to wait around. Because it is a strong cleanser (and designed to be that way), don’t leave it on like a mask. Just rinse off immediately and revel in your newfound baby-soft cheeks!
