Product Summary
Prep, refine, and brighten your skin with By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water Toner 150ml — a gentle yet effective exfoliating toner from one of Korea's most trusted skincare brands. Formulated with 5% Mandelic Acid, a mild Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds, this lightweight skin prep water gently exfoliates the skin's surface to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture — all while being gentle enough for daily use, even on sensitive skin.
Unlike harsher AHAs such as glycolic acid, Mandelic Acid has a larger molecular structure that penetrates the skin more slowly and gently — making it an ideal choice for those new to chemical exfoliation or those with sensitive, reactive skin. With consistent use, it helps improve the appearance of dullness, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and rough skin texture — leaving the skin visibly smoother, brighter, and better prepped to absorb the rest of your skincare routine.
True to its name as a “Skin Prep Water”, this toner is designed to be used as the first step after cleansing — preparing the skin for maximum absorption of serums, moisturizers, and treatments that follow.

Why Mandelic Acid?
Mandelic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. Its larger molecular size compared to other AHAs (like glycolic acid) means it penetrates the skin more slowly and gently — delivering effective exfoliation with significantly less risk of irritation, redness, or sensitivity. This makes it one of the most skin-friendly chemical exfoliants available, suitable even for those with sensitive or reactive skin who cannot tolerate stronger acids.
At 5%, this toner delivers meaningful exfoliation benefits without overwhelming the skin — making it an ideal daily-use exfoliating toner for all skin types.
Key Ingredient
Mandelic Acid 5% (AHA) — A gentle Alpha Hydroxy Acid that exfoliates the skin's surface, removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and helps improve the appearance of dullness, uneven skin tone, and rough skin texture. Suitable for sensitive skin due to its larger molecular structure and slower penetration rate.
Please refer to the product packaging for the complete INCI ingredient list.
Who Should Use This Product?
- People with dull, rough, or uneven skin texture
- Those with clogged pores or enlarged pores
- Anyone new to chemical exfoliation looking for a gentle starting point
- People with sensitive or reactive skin who cannot tolerate stronger AHAs
- Those with acne-prone skin looking for gentle daily exfoliation
- Anyone wanting to improve the effectiveness of their skincare routine by better prepping the skin
- Suitable for all skin types
How to Use
- Cleanse your face thoroughly and pat dry.
- Apply the toner to a cotton pad or pour a small amount into your palms.
- Gently sweep across the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Allow to absorb fully before applying the next skincare step.
- Follow with your serum, moisturizer, and SPF (in the morning).
- Use once daily — morning or evening. If using in the morning, always follow with SPF 30+.
Tip for beginners: Start by using every other day and gradually increase to daily use as your skin adjusts to chemical exfoliation.
Important: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher in the morning when using AHA products. AHAs increase photosensitivity.
When to Expect Results
-
Immediately: Skin feels smoother and more refined after the first use.
-
Within 1–2 Weeks: Skin texture visibly improves. Pores appear less congested. Skin looks brighter and more even.
-
With Continued Use: Sustained improvement in skin tone, texture, and radiance. Skin absorbs subsequent skincare products more effectively.
Results vary depending on skin type and consistency of use.

- For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes.
- Perform a patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin.
- Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or stinging occurs.
-
Always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen in the morning when using AHA products — AHAs increase skin's sensitivity to UV radiation.

- Keep out of reach of children.
- If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before use.
