8% Mandelic Acid
8% Mandelic Acid
Mandelic acid is the exfoliant that sensitive and acne-prone skin can actually use. With a larger molecular structure than glycolic or salicylic acid, it works more slowly and gently — penetrating deeply without triggering the irritation those acids can cause. The 8% formula unclogs pores, fades dark spots, and smooths texture over time. Ideal for anyone who's had bad reactions to traditional exfoliants.
Best for: Sensitive, acne-prone, or hyperpigmented skin; also great for darker skin tones prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
How to use: Apply to clean, dry skin at night, 2–3 times per week. Follow with moisturizer. Always wear SPF the next morning.
Pairs with: 5% Glycolic (alternate nights) + Barrier Care Gel Cream Moisturizer
L-Lactic Acid
Niacinamide
