Overview
This unique fluid solution containing malic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid and kojic acid which act synergistically to remove dead skin cells and promote skin brightening, radiance and luminosity.

Bakel’s Malic solution contains the key active ingredients; Glycerine and Pentylene Glycol which both help to maintain the skin’s own ideal moisture levels; Vegetable Hydrocellulose – a protective agent and Ammonium Hydroxide which instantly neutralises the acid pH of this solution, thereby maintaining the skins optimal pH balance. This solution is formulated to remain on the skin, maximising its beneficial effects.

It is suitable for all skin types, and should be used on alternate days before other treatments. It is particularly useful for acne-affected skins ideally from the age of 20+.

INGREDIENT DESCRIPTION:

GLYCERIN
The vegetal glycerin is extracted from the coconut palm tree. It carries out the important action of maintaining the skin’s hydration and moisture level. It also prevents water loss from the skin.

PENTYLENE GLYCOL
Pentylene glycol has a soothing and hydrating effect synergistically with glycerine. The inclusion of pentylene glycol makes the acids more absorbable to the skin.

MALIC ACID
Malic acid can be found in apples, grapes, plums, currants and quinces. It helps to metabolize fats and proteins and has a smoothing, exfoliating and regenerative effect on skin.

MANDELIC ACID
Mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), is named after the German word for almond (Mandel) and derives from the hydrolysis of an extract of bitter almonds. It has been studied extensively and is a proven ingredient in treating and suppressing common skin problems such as photoaging, irregular pigmentation and acne. Moreover it has proven useful in preparing the skin for laser peeling and in helping the skin heal after laser surgery.

TARTARIC ACID
Tartaric acid is an organic acid and is present in small quantities in bananas, tamarinds, potatoes and cucumbers and many other vegetables and their corresponding juices. It has smoothing and regenerative effect on skin.

KOJIC ACID
Kojic acid has a lightening effect on pigment spots and skin discoloration, as well as being an inhibitor of melanin. Kojic acid has a toning effect on the skin. It accelerates cellular turnover, thereby producing an extremely powerful anti-wrinkle effect. It also has an important anti-oxidant action, helping to slow down and prevent the reactions that lead to ageing of the skin.

AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE
The ammonia water makes the entire complex highly absorbable on the skin.

This was an OK serum but I don't think I really noticed anything from it, I don't really have any pigmentation issues so this was not ideal for me, as with other Bakel serums its very light and sinks in well.

As I only had a sample of this product I can't comment on the lightening effect on my skin but it was very pleasant to use. Didn't smell awful like some products that are targeted at pigmentation. Absorbs easily and perfect to layer with other products. I would love to know the percentage of each acid and also the ph of this product before purchasing. I like the idea of it but hesitate to spend so much with little information regarding the effectiveness of the ingredients.

i was given a 2ml sample pump to trial. I used this every night , it is a very light serum, a little goes a long way , easily absorbed, it felt a little tight on my skin after a minute or so initially,but after a few uses this dissipated. I have used similar products for many years & i didn't feel any tingling etc . I feel that for me this wouldn't be something i would purchase as i have seen quicker results with other products that are also cheaper

This is a great hydrating serum designed for treating pigmentation. Reccomend for people who want to layer a product under other treatment products or sunscreen. Texture is lovely and light, but still hydrating. It doesn't seem to react with other products, helping you layer if you want to. Looking forward to trying full size to see full effects.

This was another favourite product from the range of Bakel samples I was sent to review. This applied so easily and a little goes a long way. I have tried a lot of active acid serums because I have blackhead-prone skin which is also very fair so keeping pigmentation and potential sun damage at bay is important to me. However I can also be sensitive so I do have to carefully test many skincare products of this nature first. This product did not sting or make my skin tingle at all - I am used to this sensation with most other active products and though it is a sensation which usually subsides, it is nice to not experience it at all with Bakel Malic. The sample lasted two weeks and this is far too early to gage de-congestion or lessened pigmentation as products aimed at these skin concerns take around three months or more to show benefits. I would purchase this though -while expensive it's absence of superfluous or potentially irritating or pore-clogging ingredients is very impressive to me so I think it is a quality formulation which can improve my skin over long-term use.

This review is based on a 2ml sample so I can't comment on the long term effects of using this product. Did it lighten my skin in the 2 weeks I applied it every night? I don't think so but it was a nice serum to apply. Spread easily, unscented, only a little required. I didn't experience any tingleing but then my skin is used to active skincare. Malic dries quickly on the skin allowing you apply another product over the top without delay.
