FAQ

How do I use this?

Apply to clean, dry skin – on the face and neck at night only. For more sensitive skin, start with 2–3 nights a week and build to nightly use as tolerated.

What step is this in my routine?

After (double) cleansing and before your moisturizer.

How often do I use it?

We recommend using this daily at night. For more sensitive skin, start with 2-3 times a week and build up to nightly use.

Should I use this both day/night?

Night only. This was designed to work hard while you sleep.

Can I use the mandelic serum with retinol/Tretinoin?

We recommend talking to your medical provider to determine what’s best for your routine as skin tolerance varies from person to person.

Is this safe to use with prescription acne medication?

We recommend talking to your medical provider to determine what’s best for your routine as skin tolerance varies from person to person.

Does this help with hyperpigmentation/dark spots?

Go Deep is clinically proven to reduce PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and PIE (post-inflammatory erythema)* 87.1% agreed their post-acne marks faded significantly while using this product*

*Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 4 weeks of use

** Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 6 weeks of use

*** Based on a 31-subject clinical study after 8 weeks of use

What is the percentage of the key ingredients?

We formulated Go Deep with a highly effective 8% Mandelic Acid (so it really, really works). 

What is the source of the mandelic acid?

It is synthetically derived and of pharmaceutical grade.

Those with a nut allergy, or allergy specific to bitter almond, please patch test prior to use.

Is it normal to purge with this product?

Purging may occur with any products containing exfoliating ingredients like Mandelic Acid. When introducing these types of ingredients, it’s possible to experience mild “purging” in the first couple of weeks – small breakouts that surface more quickly than usual as skin cell turnover increases.

If this happens, it should be temporary and subside as your skin adjusts. That said, persistent irritation, stinging, or worsening breakouts aren’t expected and should be flagged to us right away.

    Best Skincare I have Tried

    This skincare line, and this product specifically, are the best I have ever used. I have always struggled with acne, and back in high school actually got laser acne scar removal done because I had finally managed to get my acne under control. Of course it all ended up coming back, and I have spent YEARS trying to go back to my clear skin. After trying this line, I completely stopped using all my derm prescribed products and have strictly stuck to my Reale Actives routine. My skin has genuinely not looked this good since I was 17, and I am so grateful to have finally found products that truly work. I pair it with my spironolactone and it works wondersssss ✨✨✨

    Gentle yet Effective!

    I use this product at night and I am noticing a difference in more pores; it doesn’t dry you out or burn/sting like most serums do.

    Cured my menopausal acne

    I love this product. My skin has improved so much. I had menopausal acne on my forehead and chin for several months and nothing I tried was working. Within 2 weeks of using this product my skin nearly clear. It's amazing - I love the product and the packaging. My only note - the stopper in the lid doesn't always open when I unscrew the cap if that makes sense. I have to fidget with it to get it to release. But that's so minor. Highly recommend this product.
