Designed to slot into both morning (with sunscreen) and evening routines, it targets uneven texture, enlarged pores, and blemish-prone areas while remaining suitable for a range of skin types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this toner improve skin texture and pores?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5% mandelic acid works by loosening bonds between dead surface cells, allowing gentle resurfacing and helping pores appear cleaner and less noticeable over time.
