MANDELIC ACID & LACTIC ACID
Soothing Black Willow Bark Extract & L-Arginine
About:
Perfect on-the-go treatment to boost your routine and keep skin clear and clean! Mandelic Acid’s natural anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties make it an ideal choice for reducing acne and evening skin tone. Convenient, pre-moistened peel pads fight off the appearance of premature signs of aging and a dull complexion through mild exfoliation. The result is fresh skin and a dewy glow.
Brighten overall tone, target sun damage and balance problematic skin for a clear, vibrant complexion. Each skin pad helps to break up oil and unclog pores, improve cell turnover, lift away age spots and smooth the skin for fewer lines and wrinkles.

I have had many facials over the years by very knowledgeable and reputable Aestheticians in NYC, Palm Beach, Boca, etc. Never have I had a facial like Elle's. She has saved my skin!! I suffered from hormonal acne around the jawline and rosacea. Through her extremely thorough facials, expert extractions, and gentle touch, she has changed my skin! She's extremely patient and knowledgeable and answers all my questions in order to help educate me on what my skin needs. She is always available to answer a question I have about a product (even if it's not her product). She's a great person and a true healer.
So glad I found her and also, her own line of Headstrong products is phenomenal. She's also affordable so I can keep up my new habit of keeping my skin clear and happy. Thank you Elle!
