Ingredient N° 18
Mandelic Acid
The larger-molecule AHA for a slower approach.
Mandelic acid is an AHA with a larger molecular size than glycolic acid. It is commonly used for uneven texture, blemishes and marks when a more gradual exfoliating approach is preferred.
Worth knowing
Gentler does not mean irritation-proof. Avoid stacking it with several exfoliants at once.
