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.
