Mandelic acid is a larger-molecule AHA than glycolic or lactic. The bigger the molecule, the slower it penetrates — which means deeper exfoliation, less irritation, no redness afterward. The cult favorite of dermatologists. Now in a bottle that doesn't look like a chemistry experiment.

Twice a week to start. More if your skin says yes. Use it before serums and moisturizer; the smoother surface lets everything else absorb the way you wished it would.

No fragrance. No essential oils. No filler. Just the active, a hydrating buffer (panthenol), and a gentle solvent.

FAQ

Good questions.

Will this irritate my sensitive skin? +

Mandelic is the gentlest AHA available. If glycolic or lactic acids have wrecked you in the past, this is the one to try. Patch test on your jawline for 24 hours first to be sure.

Can I use it with retinol? +

Yes — but not on the same night. Alternate: peeling serum one night, retinol the next.

Will I peel like a snake? +

No. This isn't a chemical peel — it's daily-use exfoliation. You might notice slight flakiness in week one as old skin clears.

Do I need sunscreen? +

Yes. Any AHA makes skin more sun-sensitive. SPF 30+ every morning, no exceptions.

How long does a bottle last? +

Used twice a week, about 10–12 weeks per 30ml bottle.
