Mandelic acid is a clarifying antibacterial serum which reverses the visable signs of photoaging, treats uneven pigmentation, and flushes out impacted pores. 2.5 pH.
Mandelic acid has a larger molecule than other AHAs (alpha hydroxy acid) making it slower to penetrate the skin and thereby reducing the potential for irritation.
Benefits
- Exfoliates dead skin cells and surface debris from the skin.
- Exceptional for actinic skin because of its antimicrobial/antibacterial properties.
- Helps to loosens blackheads
- Good for all Fitzpatrick Skin types. Superior for Fitzpatrick III and higher as darker skin individuals will not run the risk of creating inconsistent lighter skin patches as may occur with the stronger AHAs.
- Inhibits the growth of melanin, freckles, and other uneven skin tones associated with sun exposure.
- Can help repair sun damaged skin.
- Reduces lines and wrinkles without the irritation of other AHA's.
- Can be used with many Vitamin A products because it's larger molecule provides for slower penetration. If you are using a prescribed Vitamin A product (Retin A, Tazorac, etc.) please consult with your physician first.
- Does not produce reactive hyper-pigmentation
