Core Ingredients & Functions
Mandelic Acid — Targeted Exfoliation Complex
Mandelic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid derived from almonds. It helps loosen the bonds between surface skin cells, supporting the removal of accumulated dead cells and promoting a smoother, more refined-looking skin surface.
Surface Renewal & Texture Refinement
Through its exfoliating action, mandelic acid helps improve the appearance of roughness and uneven texture. The resulting surface refinement can contribute to a fresher-looking complexion.
Uneven Skin Tone & Pigmentation Support
Mandelic acid is commonly used in professional exfoliation programmes targeting the appearance of uneven pigmentation and dullness. By encouraging surface cell turnover, it can help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone over time when used appropriately. Due to its slower penetration, it is usually a safer form of alpha-hydroxy acid for darker skin tones.
Almond-Derived Ingredient Consideration
As ESM contains an almond-derived acid, allergy history must be assessed before treatment. The presence of an almond-derived ingredient should be clearly communicated to clients, particularly those with known almond allergies. Follow the manufacturer's allergy and contraindication guidance.
How to Use
For professional use only. Begin with a thorough skin assessment, including an evaluation of pigmentation, dryness, skin barrier condition, sensitivity and allergy history.
Apply ESM to the selected treatment area according to the official CIVASAN PANAFESOL professional protocol. The maximum stated application time is 5 minutes. Do not exceed this contact time.
Monitor the skin throughout treatment and remove or neutralise the product as directed by the manufacturer. Follow with appropriate post-peel care, including pH Derma and Lidomedic where specified by the manufacturer's protocol.
Avoid application to compromised, actively irritated or unsuitable skin. Review relevant contraindications and provide appropriate post-treatment advice, including daily broad-spectrum sun protection.
Important: ESM contains an almond-derived ingredient. Do not proceed where the product is contraindicated due to allergy risk; follow the manufacturer's specific screening instructions.
