Formotopia – BFFECT Mandelic Acid 6% + Tartaric Acid 4% Serum 30ml

The BFFECT Mandelic Acid 6% + Tartaric Acid 4% Serum from Formotopia is a physician-researched, dermatologist co-developed exfoliating serum formulated to address acne, clogged pores, rough texture, and uneven skin tone on both the face and body. This mid-strength dual-acid formula is part of BFFECT’s acid series — sitting between the gentle 3% + 2% version for sensitive skin and the intensive AHA 30% peel — making it ideal for those who want effective exfoliation with a lower risk of irritation. It is GMP certified, has passed microbial testing, and is free from heavy metals and plasticizers across 15 safety tests.

Mandelic Acid (6%), a lipophilic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from almonds, works on the skin surface to gently dissolve the bonds between dead and keratinized skin cells, unclog pores, suppress Tyrosinase activity to inhibit melanin formation, and exhibit antibacterial properties against acne-causing organisms. Because of its larger molecular size compared to glycolic acid, it penetrates more slowly, making it gentler and better tolerated on skin that reacts to stronger AHAs. Tartaric Acid (4%) acts as a natural AHA that refines skin texture, enhances the skin’s protective barrier, and supports the pH balance of the formula to improve the efficacy of Mandelic Acid. Together, these two acids work synergistically to exfoliate, smooth, and brighten the skin progressively.

Tranexamic Acid further brightens the complexion and reduces hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin transfer pathways, while Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) minimizes pores, balances sebum production, and strengthens the skin barrier. Sodium Hyaluronate provides deep hydration to counteract any dryness from the acids. Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) soothes and repairs the skin, Saccharide Isomerate delivers long-lasting moisture retention, and Allantoin calms sensitivity and supports skin renewal. The formula is safe for use during pregnancy.

How To Use: Apply 1 drop and adjust amount based on skin condition. For face: After cleansing morning and evening, apply evenly across the face or acne-prone areas, avoiding the eye area. For body: After cleansing, apply evenly on rough or dull body areas, avoiding intimate and wounded areas. Always follow with sunscreen during the day as acids increase UV sensitivity. Do not use with other acid, high-concentration Vitamin C, Vitamin A, or Vitamin B3 products. Perform a patch test on the inner elbow before first use.
