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

Directions: Use fingertips to apply serum over desired area. Start out with daily application every 2 days slowly working up to 1 to 2 times daily if needed.

• If excessive irritation develops, temporally discontinue use.
• If the skin becomes excessively dry, reduce application frequency.
• May be use to spot treat or overall facial application

Caution: ALWAYS spot test before applying any new product to the facial or other body areas. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. A mild irritation or rash may occur on sensitive skin with initial use. Keep from extreme heat or cold (freezing). Keep out of reach of children.
