PurErb Kaviar-Limette Reinigungsschaum

My skin tone has evened out noticeably after about three weeks of using this, especially around my chin where I get dark patches. The foam is light and rinses clean without that tight, stripped feeling, and I can tell the mandelic acid is doing something because my pores look smaller.

I was skeptical about a foam cleanser actually exfoliating, but the mandelic acid in this one is no joke — my pores look tighter after about two weeks of nightly use. It foams up rich without leaving my face tight or squeaky, which is rare for anything with an acid in it.

Three weeks in and the little bumps along my jaw have basically smoothed out. The foam rinses clean without that tight, squeaky feeling, and my pores look smaller around my nose. Mandelic acid was gentle enough that I never had a purge phase.
