Antimicrobial

Mandelic Acid helps exfoliate skin. It also contains antioxidant properties.

As an AHA, Mandelic Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and look more even.

Mandelic Acid may be an alternative to Glycolic Acid for those with sensitive skin.

Mandelic Acid may help reduce wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation.

My beloved soothing exfoliant for closed comedones. The first product that finally unclogged some of my pores. I recommend using it every second day only at night! Has no scent, doesn’t make my skin look greasy, but it hydrates. It’s a watery texture and not even expensive ! Can only recommend!!! This one is a good choice if your skin is sensitive to BHA or AHA like salycilic acid or so. It Show more
