How to use
Cleanse
Start on clean, dry skin in the evening.
Apply
1–2 pumps over face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye area. Use all over, or concentrate on areas prone to congestion.
Replenish
Follow with Milk + Tansy Bi-Phase Essence and Balanced Being Barrier Cream to restore hydration and support the barrier.
Protect
Every morningApply a broad-spectrum SPF daily while you are using exfoliating acids.
A note on frequency
Begin with two or three evenings a week and increase only when your skin still feels comfortable. Sensitive skin can start once or twice a week. Nightly exfoliation is not necessary for results — consistency matters more than frequency.
From Tami
Mandelic leads with its larger molecule and gradual exfoliation, lactic adds surface renewal and hydration, and a touch of oil-loving salicylic loosens buildup within the pore. The result is a multi-acid approach with respect for the barrier built in.

Before you start
Is Moment of Clarity a toner?
No. It is a resurfacing serum for congestion, uneven texture and post-blemish discoloration. Mandelic, lactic and salicylic acids provide 8% combined acid content.
How often should I use it?
If you are new to acids, begin with 1–2 evenings per week. Apply 1–2 pumps after cleansing and follow with moisturizer. Build up slowly toward 2–5 nights per week only as tolerated.
What helps keep the exfoliation comfortable?
The exfoliating acids are paired with ectoin, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, aloe and glycerin to support hydration and skin comfort.
Do I need SPF?
Yes. Use a broad-spectrum SPF daily while using exfoliating acids.
Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?
Because the formula contains salicylic acid, consult your physician before use while pregnant or nursing.
