Collection: Mandelic Acid

Mandelic acid is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. It exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, fades dark spots, and improves skin texture—all without causing irritation, making it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Yes! Mandelic acid helps reduce acne by dissolving dead skin cells and clearing out pores. It also fades acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots over time, giving your skin a clearer and brighter look.

Mandelic acid is one of the gentlest AHAs and can be used daily, especially at lower concentrations. However, if you're new to acids, start with 2–3 times a week and increase gradually. Always follow up with sunscreen during the day.

Absolutely. Our mandelic acid products are formulated for sensitive skin. They provide all the benefits of exfoliation—like smoother texture and reduced breakouts—without redness or irritation.

For best results, use mandelic acid at night after cleansing. It works while you sleep to resurface the skin. Avoid layering with other strong actives unless recommended, and apply sunscreen in the morning.

You can safely pair mandelic acid with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing agents like niacinamide. Avoid mixing with other strong acids or retinoids unless guided by a professional.

You may notice smoother, clearer skin within 1–2 weeks of consistent use. Dark spots and acne scars may take 4–6 weeks to fade. Results improve over time with regular use.

Yes, mandelic acid is safe and effective for all skin tones, including deeper complexions. It gently resurfaces the skin without increasing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Yes, mandelic acid can be combined with gentle acne treatments like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, but it's best to alternate their use (e.g., mandelic at night, salicylic in the morning) to avoid over-exfoliation. Always follow with a moisturizer and SPF.
