Youth To The People Mandelic Acid + Superfood Unity Exfoliant

I can’t speak to whether all of the ingredients in it are doing their job because I don’t know exactly what they are supposed to do; I already have smooth skin so I can’t speak to their claims of exfoliating or moisturizing benefits because I typically moisturize my face after any product—but as a toner to just calm/balance your skin, it does the job very well. My skin isn’t oily or shiny nor does it make my skin break out or enlarge my pores like some brands do. It holds up well under makeup and it keeps my skin the way I like it. It maintains the PH balance of it which is very important for healthy skin.I would recommend it. I’ve used witch hazel before and this stuff is way better than that. And I didn’t detect a fragrance which I like.Also the bottle dispenser is pretty nifty. I was hesitant that too much would pour out but it’s actually pretty controlled; just 1 or 2 drops come out at a time. If you want more you have to shake it.

I dont like when my wife buys this expensive face cream but thats what makes her happy and she sure looks good. She plays the piano and sings in the church choir, cooks, homeschools etc etc. So as far as I am concerned, she can grind up moey and wipe it on her face. She does a lot of research on this stuff so I assume she knows what shes doing.

The packaging was bent and half open. The product didn’t come sealed but I don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to be? I’ve been using it for 2 weeks and have seen the slightest amount of results. And it kinda smells weird.

First let me preface I have VERY large pores and VERY textured skin that’s also very sensitive and prone to messing up my skin barrier. The first day alone I washed my face the next morning after using it the night prior and I could FEEL the difference. My skin felt baby soft and my makeup has been going on SO nicely because of this. This is amazing for sensitive and textured skin just buy it! I had been using Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliant before this but it made my skin unbearably sticky and tacky feeling. This one does not, it absorbs almost instantly with no residue left behind.

I tried this toner after watching a video of Dr. V reviewing it. It works really well as a gentle chemical exfoliant for my sensitive and reactive skin. Supposedly mandelic acid has a larger molecule than glycolic and a couple others so it’s more gentle and is less likely to irritate and cause inflammation to skin of color. I’m 40 and my skin looks so much more even now. Less breakouts, less inflammation and dead skin making my complexion look dull. Really happy with this product.

So far this is my favorite YTP product. This does not leave my skin feeling sticky at all. Some toners can feel like it is taking layers of skin off but not this - it is very gentle on the skin but you can also feel it is doing it's job of thoroughly cleansing your skin. It does pair well with the whipped moisturizer too. It also has a pleasant fragrance.

This product would be a direct competition to Paula's Choice 2% BHA Toner, however it's better because it also has AHC acids (at 3%). It is a little pricey, almost $40 for a small bottle, however I use it every other day and so far I used about 1/4 of the bottle in about 3 weeks, so if it lasts for about 3 months then it's not as expensive as it seems at first. It's not irritating to me, has interesting smell. Overall I like this product.

This did not do what it should do
