Reduces Congestion Without Triggering Sensitivity

Vivant 3% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner helps clear away dirt, excess oil, and dead cell buildup while remaining comfortable for skin that is easily reactive. It’s a perfect option for those who cannot tolerate benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or other active serums and creams. It offers acne-clearing and tone-refining benefits without the dryness or irritation that often comes with more aggressive products.

"I love the Vivant 3% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner for clients who have acne prone, reactive skin or are just getting started with acids. It’s great because it slowly helps build tolerance to actives. And let’s not forget - some people don’t need anything stronger than this for their type of acne, which is why it’s always a great starting point. "

An Ideal Starting Point for Active Routines

Mandelic toner is especially well-suited for skin that is new to advanced skincare or transitioning into more corrective routines. It gently introduces exfoliation, supports tolerance-building, and improves overall skin readiness. With consistent use, it helps strengthen the foundation of the routine so the skin can better handle other stronger actives over time.

Mandelic Acid

Exfoliates, brightens, and helps suppress pigmentation with minimal irritation.

Witch Hazel

Helps remove excess oil and refine pores while maintaining balance.

Niacinamide

Supports barrier health, calms redness, and helps regulate oil production.

Reduces Acne and PIH

Vivant 3% Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Toner is formulated to support both inflamed and non-inflamed acne, while also helping lighten post-acne marks and early sun damage. By promoting gentle, consistent exfoliation, it helps smooth texture, fade discoloration, and encourage a more even-looking complexion over time.

Gentle Exfoliation That Preps Skin for Results

This toner is designed to do more than simply refresh the skin after cleansing. It helps remove residual buildup, oil, and debris that can interfere with product absorption. By improving how the skin is prepped, it allows corrective serums and treatments applied afterward to work more efficiently and deliver better overall results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this toner different from the Vivant Mandelic Acid Serum?

The toner contains 3% mandelic acid and is designed for gentle, once to twice daily exfoliation that helps build tolerance while supporting acne and post-acne marks. The mandelic acid serum contains 8% mandelic acid, making it more suitable for those who can tolerate higher strengths and need deeper correction. Stronger isn’t better - it depends on your skin’s tolerance and the severity of your acne. The toner is a great place to start and helps you determine if you actually need something stronger.

Is this strong enough to help with acne?

Yes, especially for mild to moderate acne or for skin that cannot tolerate stronger acne products.

Can I use this with other actives?

Yes. This toner pairs well with vitamin A, mandelic acid serums, and gentle correctives. Introduce other actives slowly if your skin is sensitive.

Is this safe for sensitive or darker skin tones?

Yes. Mandelic acid is one of the safest AHAs for sensitive and darker skin tones and is less likely to trigger irritation or pigmentation issues.

How is this different from the Vivant Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Wash?

The cleanser rinses off; this toner stays on to exfoliate longer.
