Product description
Mandelic Acid is water-soluble alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that offers superficial exfoliation.
It does so by targeting the outermost layer of the skin and promoting its shedding to enhance overall radiance. This 10% formulation offers mild exfoliation for visible clarity. The molecular weight of Mandelic Acid is 152.1 daltons which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids, such as Glycolic Acid (Glycolic Acid is 76.0 daltons).
This larger size gives Mandelic Acid a lower penetration rate, making it a great option for first-time users.
How to use

Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance. Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Contact of the product with the skin must be of limited frequency or duration. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
