    A gentler exfoliant, in serum form. With AHA and Hyaluronic Acid

    Mandelic Acid 10% + HA offers superficial dermal peeling that is gentler than other alpha hydroxy acids. The molecular weight of mandelic acid is 152.1 daltons which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid is 76.0 daltons, for example). This larger size allows mandelic acid to penetrate the skin more slowly which in turn makes it very gentle and suitable for all skin types. You don't need a concentration of more than 10%, because then you would simply be achieving an indirect peeling strength that is more easily offered through lower percentages of glycolic acid.

    Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.

    Note: While exfoliating acids can result in quick visible benefits, we generally suggest the use of indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids.

It's like a serum meets an acid.

It's like a serum meets an acid. My skin tends to be acne-prone because it needs help exfoliating. I found that this acid leaves my skin very smooth and I wake up feeling like I used a serum.

My New Essential Product

After using this product for 2 months I can see a huge improvement in my skin. I suffer from severe extreme hormonal acne along with closed comedones along my jawline which my prescription retinoids cannot fix. This has gotten rid of all my closed comedones.

A must for cold weather acne

Every year when the temperature drops, my skin erupts into painful cystic acne. The only 2 things I used this year were this and CeraVe's mosturizing cream and they singlehandedly cleared my acne completely and gave me the smoothest, softest skin I've ever had in the colder seasons! The HA in this serum is moisturizing, so it doesn't strip my skin of its natural oils. A holy grail!!

holy grail status

Complete game changer for my skin. I've used this every night for three weeks. It cleared my stubborn forehead bumps, brightened my complexion, and helped fade red acne scars. Please never stop making this.

A nice gentle exfoliant!

I have been using this product for over 6 months now. This product has a very watery consistency and feels oily to touch. When I apply it to my face, my face does become a bit red and I definitely feel some tingling, but it does not sting at all. Overall, I would recommend this product as a gentle exfoliant.

An acne skin care staple!!

This stuff is amazing. I have combination skin and acne prone skin. I was having a really bad break out on my forehead and chin and this stuff cleared it up in a few days. This has become a staple in my skin care!

My temporary filler when used with argireline.

When used with argireline, temporarily smooths lines in the philtrum.

Good for night time use

It does work but if I go out in the sun too soon after applying I end up with a red spot wherever the product is. Good for before bedtime

Obviously wasn’t a miracle cure but ngl it does help acne abit considering that even prescription strength could not fix my acne. Expect this one is way gentler and doesn’t cause any side effects I prefer using it❤️

I may or may not see improvement. But it is a nice feeling serum so far. Mind you, I’m only about 3-5 uses in

SO GOOD!!

Love this stuff. It is a very gentle exfoliating and it helps remove my small bumps overnight when they appear. Never gave me any irritation whatsoever so ever.

Great for dry skin with acne

I have dry and sensitive skin prone to hormonal acne breakouts. This is the only thing I’ve found that will take care of my hormonal acne without completely drying out my skin in the process. It is also gentle enough for my sensitive skin. I normally use it every or every other night on my whole face and apply extra drops to spots that are breaking out. Works wonders!
