IS MANDELIC ACID SAFE?

Mandelic Acid is safe for all skin types and tones. Its large-molecule structure and mild properties contribute to its safety profile, even for sensitive, rosacea-affected or hyperpigmentation-prone skin.

While Mandelic Acid will not increase UV sensitivity as much as retinoids, it is always recommended to use sunscreen when incorporating Mandelic Acid into your skincare routine.

Is Mandelic Acid Safe to Use During Pregnancy?

Mandelic Acid's gentle nature, safety profile, and multi-tasking abilities make it uniquely-suited for use during pregnancy and nursing to treat skin issues related to hormone fluctuations, including acne, increased sensitivity, and melasma.

MANDELIC ACID FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES

Mandelic Acid is versatile and well-suited for all skin types, including sensitive acne-prone skin and is safe to use during pregnancy. Its gentle nature makes it an excellent choice for skin too sensitive for glycolic acid and for treating dark skin tones prone to hyperpigmentation.

DOES MANDELIC ACID HELP WITH HORMONAL ACNE?

Mandelic Acid's antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, combined with its exfoliating effects, make it a highly effective acne fighter.

It kills acne-causing bacteria to prevent breakouts and keep pores free from excess sebum and dead cells.

Does Mandelic Acid Cause Purging?

Mandelic Acid accelerates cell turnover and pulls pimples to the surface faster, which can seem like a sudden flare-up. Its gentler activity can mean that any purging will be less intense than it might be with a more aggressive active like retinoid or glycolic acid.

CAN MANDELIC ACID BE USED FOR HYPERPIGMENTATION?

Taking on irregular pigment is one of Mandelic Acid's specialties. It addresses hyperpigmentation at the cellular level by inhibiting excess melanin production while helping to disperse surface pigment through exfoliation.

HOW DO YOU USE MANDELIC ACID?

Mandelic Acid is used in cleansers, toners, and serums. Depending on your skin goals, Mandelic Acid may be used for these three steps of your regimen. As the gentlest of all the AHAs, Mandelic Acid is well tolerated by all skin types and tones and can safely be used daily in your morning and evening routine. However, as with any clinical skincare active, your skin will need to acclimate. Start at the lowest percentage, and use every other day, increasing to daily as your skin acclimates.
