Mandelic Serum (5%, 8%, 11%, 15%)
Mandelic Serum is a powerful yet gentle exfoliating treatment designed to improve acne, fade dark spots, and smooth uneven texture. Available in four progressive strengths, it allows for a customized approach based on skin type, acne severity, and tolerance making it a cornerstone product in results-driven acne routines.
Mandelic acid’s larger molecular size means slower penetration and less irritation, making this one of the safest and most effective exfoliating acids for acne-prone, reactive, and deeper skin tones.
Key Ingredients
Mandelic Acid – Oil-soluble AHA that clears clogged pores, reduces acne, smooths texture, and fades post-acne pigmentation with minimal irritation
Lactic Acid – Gently exfoliates the surface while supporting hydration and barrier function
Sodium Hyaluronate – Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin to offset exfoliation
Niacinamide – Helps regulate oil, calm inflammation, and support barrier health
