Why do you need mandelic acid?

Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. Compared to other acids such as glycolic acid, it has a larger molecular structure, making it penetrates the skin more slowly. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive skin types or people who want to start using acids carefully.

Despite its gentle action, mandelic acid works actively on cell renewal, pigment regulation and refines large pores. It helps to loosen dead skin cells and accelerates the skin's natural exfoliation, reducing dullness and making the skin look more even and smooth. It also has an antibacterial effect, which makes it suitable for blemishes or combination skin.

What does arginine do for your skin?

Arginine is an amino acid that helps restore and strengthen the skin. It promotes:

*Hydration: it helps to retain moisture better in the skin

*Calming: it soothes irritation and redness

*Restoration of the skin barrier: essential for sensitive or damaged skin

Step 2 of double cleansing – refine & prepare

Use the Gentle AHA Cleansing Foamas the second step after a mild, oil-soluble cleanser (such as our Hydrating Milk Cleanser). This not only removes make-up, SPF and sebum, but also refines the skin structure so that active ingredients can be better absorbed.

How to use:

  • Apply a small amount to damp skin
  • Gently massage in and rinse with lukewarm water
  • Use morning and evening

Why this can be used daily

Unlike harsh exfoliants, this foam is mild yet effective. Thanks to 8% mandelic acid, it exfoliates in a controlled manner, without drying out or irritating the skin.

Daily use:

  • keeps the skin smooth and even
  • prevents accumulation of dead skin cells
  • ensures that serums and creams work better

Suitable for:

  • uneven skin texture
  • early pigmentation
  • dull or easily clogged skin
  • skin that reacts sensitively to stronger acids

Why double cleansing?

For optimal results, always combine this foam with a gentle first cleanse(double cleansing). Double cleansing at Sarasin is not a trend, but a logical translation of skin biology. Not all impurities are the same.

  • Step 1 - Oil-soluble dirt: make-up, SPF and sebum (hydrating milk cleanser)
  • Step 2 - Water-soluble dirt: sweat, pollution and dead skin cells (Gentle AHA Cleansing Foam)

One cleanser cannot correctly remove all of this at once. By combining two complementary steps, you cleanse the skin completely yet gently, without disturbing the skin barrier. The result is skin that is clean, remains balanced and can absorb active ingredients better.

What makes the Gentle AHA Cleansing Foam unique?

gentle cleansing foam

MRS BRIGHTSIDE 8% combines the gentle exfoliating power of mandelic acid (8%) with the caring effect of arginine. Arginine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in the skin and helps to repair and strengthen the skin barrier. While the mandelic acid renews the skin, arginine provides comfort, protection and hydration — a unique balance of performance and softness.

The airy mousse shape ensures that the product is easy to distribute and feels pleasant when massaging in. With daily use, the skin texture visibly improves, dull areas are reduced and the skin gets a fresh, clear appearance.

Yes, but be careful. Don't use this foam on evenings when you also use retinol or other exfoliating acids to avoid overstimulation. Alternate: acids one evening, retinol the next. Never forget SPF during the day!

MRS BRIGHTSIDE 8% is milder and may be suitable for sensitive skin types, as long as you build it up gradually and moisturize well afterwards. MRS BRIGHTSIDE 15% is more powerful and more suitable for experienced users. If in doubt, always test on a small area of skin first.

Use the cleansing foam as the first step in your routine, on clean, damp skin. Massage gently and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. You can then continue with toner, serum, and cream.
