Acne

Oily and acne-prone skin benefits from a cleanser that removes not just surface dirt and makeup but the excess sebum and debris inside pores. Clarify Wash does this with mandelic acid, which penetrates the pore lining to loosen trapped oil and dead skin cells, and gentle surfactants that lift them away without over-stripping. With twice-daily use, breakouts become less frequent.

Clarify Wash exfoliates while it cleanses, using mandelic acid, gluconolactone, lactic acid, and fruit enzymes to dissolve the buildup of dead cells behind rough texture, dullness, and an uneven surface. Skin is gently resurfaced every time you cleanse, producing a visible improvement in smoothness and clarity that builds consistently over time without the need for a separate exfoliant.

For oily and acne-prone skin, discoloration is often the most persistent concern, since breakouts can leave marks behind. Clarify Wash helps interrupt this cycle at the cleansing step, delivering mandelic acid and stable vitamin C that work together to fade existing marks and help prevent new ones. With regular use, skin becomes progressively brighter and more even.

Although it contains multiple exfoliating actives, Clarify Wash is formulated to leave the barrier intact. Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid known for its barrier-reinforcing properties, balances the exfoliation by binding moisture and supporting the skin's protective function, while sodium hyaluronate and glycerin add hydration. The result is a thorough, active cleanse that leaves skin comfortable enough for twice-daily use.

Hale and Hush Clear Future Toner is built for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin that needs effective pore clearing without aggressive stripping. Salicylic acid penetrates the pore lining while probiotics and a mushroom extract support microbiome balance and barrier health. It is the only Hale and Hush toner formulated specifically for acne and fungal breakouts.

Acne starts inside the pore. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate the pore lining and dissolve the oil and debris that cause congestion, blackheads, and breakouts at the source. With consistent daily use, pores stay cleaner, congestion builds up less quickly, and breakouts become less frequent. Skin looks visibly clearer and more refined over time.

If your breakouts are small, clustered, and stubbornly persistent despite using standard acne products, fungal acne may be the cause. Unlike most acne toners that focus only on bacteria, Clear Future Toner contains mushroom extract and antifungal actives that target yeast overgrowth, alongside a probiotic blend that restores microbiome balance and creates an environment less hospitable to recurring fungal breakouts.

Acne-prone skin that is also sensitive or reactive needs more than just clearing actives. Clear Future Toner contains a neuropeptide that reduces inflammation and calms the skin's reactive response, alongside cucumber extract, mallow extract, and probiotic cultures that support recovery and barrier health. Skin that is both congested and reactive can use this toner without the flaring and irritation that harsher acne toners commonly cause.

These nutrients work together to help skin look and feel stronger against everyday stressors. Zinc monomethionine helps with oil control and clearer skin while supporting immune health.

The Gut-Skin Axis Blend in Clear Skin Restore is designed to help nurture a balanced microbiome, which plays a key role in skin wellness.

It is suitable for teens and adults as part of a full-spectrum approach to skin wellness. It can be used alongside Clear Skin Balance or your topical routine.

Vivant Dark Spots Duo pairs True Tone 2.0 and the 8% Mandelic Acid Serum in a dermatologist-developed protocol designed specifically for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. The 8% Mandelic Acid Serum delivers controlled exfoliation in the morning to refine texture and enhance the performance of the evening brightening step, while True Tone 2.0 works overnight with its hydroquinone-free retinoid and brightening complex to visibly fade discoloration. Clinical results show visible improvement in dark spots after 90 days of consistent use.

Mandelic acid is one of the most versatile actives for hyperpigmentation-prone skin because it addresses pigment through three separate mechanisms simultaneously: it exfoliates the surface to accelerate the removal of existing discoloration, it has direct tyrosinase-inhibiting activity that slows new pigment formation, and its antibacterial properties help prevent the breakouts that create new PIH in the first place. At 8% this serum delivers meaningful exfoliation and brightening without the irritation risk that higher-strength AHAs carry, making it appropriate for consistent daily use across all skin tones.

Most brightening serums rely on a single mechanism, typically one tyrosinase inhibitor, to address pigmentation. True Tone 2.0 takes a multi-pathway approach: the REt (RP) Retinyl Propionate drives cell turnover to accelerate the removal of pigmented cells, kojic acid inhibits tyrosinase to suppress new melanin formation, clinical mandelic acid and lactic acid refine the surface, and Oligopeptide-68 delivers an additional layer of melanin synthesis inhibition. The result is a brightening system that addresses existing discoloration and prevents new formation simultaneously, with the added benefit of retinoid-driven anti-aging activity built in.

PIH responds best to a layered approach that addresses pigment formation, cell turnover, and surface exfoliation simultaneously rather than relying on a single brightening active. The Dark Spots Duo splits this work strategically across morning and evening: exfoliation and pigment regulation in the AM to prepare and protect, concentrated retinoid-driven brightening in the PM to renew and correct. Splitting the actives across two time slots reduces the risk of irritation that comes from stacking multiple exfoliating and brightening ingredients in the same step, and allows each serum to perform at its best.

Environ Derma-Lac Lotion is a lightweight body lotion formulated with lactic acid, urea, and ammonium lactate that gently exfoliates and deeply hydrates simultaneously. It softens rough, dry, and calloused skin, supports skin renewal, and helps improve the appearance of uneven tone and texture over time. Suitable for all skin types.

Most body exfoliants require scrubbing, which can be too aggressive for daily use. Derma-Lac Lotion uses lactic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid, to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and assist the skin's natural renewal process without any physical friction. Applied morning and evening, it produces a progressive improvement in surface texture and skin tone that compounds with consistent use over time.

Elbows, knees, heels, and feet are the first places to develop dry, rough, and calloused texture, particularly in colder months. The combination of lactic acid and urea in Derma-Lac Lotion works directly on this thickened skin, breaking down the buildup of dead cells while simultaneously drawing moisture in. With regular use, even the roughest areas become noticeably softer and smoother.

Lactic acid, urea, and glycerin are three of the most effective humectants available in skincare, and this formula uses all three together. Each draws water into the skin through a slightly different mechanism, working at different depths to provide comprehensive, lasting hydration throughout the day. The result is skin that feels genuinely nourished rather than temporarily coated, with hydration that builds with consistent daily use.

The concentrated formula supports deeper exfoliation to help refine rough areas and encourage healthier-looking skin.

This Level 3 treatment blends retinyl propionate with several alpha hydroxy acids to encourage stronger cell turnover. Glycolic, lactic, and citric acids help lift surface buildup while supporting skin renewal underneath, allowing the retinoid to work more effectively in improving texture and maintaining clearer pores.

Brightening ingredients such as kojic acid and niacinamide help improve the appearance of discoloration and post-inflammatory marks. As renewal improves, skin often appears smoother, more even, and more refined. Consistent use can support improved clarity and a firmer, more resilient look over time. Retinyl propionate, a vitamin A derivative, supports this renewal and helps improve the look of fine lines.

Exfol-A Forté is recommended for oily, thicker, or resistant skin already acclimated to vitamin A therapies. It is often used on areas that tend to be more resilient, such as the back, chest, arms, and backs of hands, where deeper exfoliation can help improve sun damage and rough skin texture.

Vivant FF3 Biointensive GF is a clinically proven serum specifically formulated for estrogen-depleted, menopausal, peri-menopausal, and hormonally aging skin. Retinyl Propionate, growth factors, mandelic acid, lactic acid, five peptides, and Manuka honey work together to repair the skin's support matrix, restore lost volume, reduce fine lines, and transform dry, thinning skin into plump, smooth, and radiant skin. Acne safe and appropriate for all skin types.

Skin that is thinning and losing structure due to hormonal changes needs support for both renewal and structure. Growth factors signal the skin's own repair mechanisms, while Retinyl Propionate, a vitamin A ester developed by Vivant founder Dr. James Fulton, delivers vitamin A's corrective benefits with minimal irritation. Together they support the renewal that hormonally aging skin requires.

The visible hollowing, sagging, and loss of contour that come with hormonal skin aging reflect structural changes beneath the surface. FF3 Biointensive GF rebuilds this foundation through a combination of growth factors, five specialized peptides, and Retinyl Propionate that collectively stimulate collagen, restore hydration capacity, and support the structural proteins responsible for lifted, plump, and defined skin.

Thinning and hormonally aging skin often accumulates dullness, uneven tone, and surface texture changes as cell turnover slows. FF3 Biointensive GF contains both mandelic and lactic acid that work together to gently resurface the skin, clear accumulated dead cell buildup, fade discoloration, and reveal a brighter, more even complexion. The dual AHA approach produces progressive improvement in clarity and luminosity with consistent use.
