FARMACY Bright On Daily AHA Foam Exfoliator
by FARMACY · other
Editor's Take
FARMACY gets the balance right: Mandelic Acid earns the exfoliator label, while the glucoside foam keeps this closer to a polished daily cleanser than an acid ambush.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.2 / 10
- Clean Standards: 10.0 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 9.5 / 10
The Verdict
Mandelic Acid, cactus-flower enzymes, and lemon-peel ferment make this more capable than the usual brightening face wash. Coco-Glucoside and Decyl Glucoside provide mild sulfate-free foam, with betaine and panthenol helping keep daily resurfacing civilized. The ingredient profile is credible clean and sustainability is strong, though the cluster of citrus oils may not suit reactive skin. A credible daily exfoliating cleanser, not a substitute for a leave-on acid treatment.
