The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% 30ml - Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Even Skin Tone and Texture
The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% 30ml is a gentle exfoliating serum formulated with 10% Mandelic Acid, an AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) derived from bitter almonds. This serum is designed to exfoliate the skin's surface, helping to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Ideal for those with sensitive skin, Mandelic Acid is a larger molecule compared to other AHAs, allowing it to penetrate the skin more slowly and causing less irritation.
Regular use of Mandelic Acid can help reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines, making it a great addition to your skincare routine for addressing uneven skin tone and texture. This lightweight serum is perfect for individuals who want to experience the benefits of exfoliation without the harsh effects commonly associated with other exfoliating acids.
In addition to improving skin texture, Mandelic Acid promotes cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother skin with a healthy glow. The formulation is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
