Mandelic Acid

Mandelic Acid is a topical skincare treatment used to address acne, uneven skin texture, and dark spots on the skin. It works by gently exfoliating the surface of your skin, helping to clear away dead skin cells and unclog pores. This makes it an effective option for managing mild acne and improving overall skin clarity.

For the best results, you should use Mandelic Acid consistently as part of your evening skincare routine, typically once daily or as advised by your healthcare provider. Apply this topical formula to clean, dry skin before applying heavier creams or moisturisers. Incorporating daily sun protection and staying well-hydrated can significantly enhance your skin's healing process and overall results.

While using Mandelic Acid, you might experience mild skin peeling, dryness, or a slight stinging sensation. These reactions are usually temporary as your skin adjusts to the treatment. However, if you experience severe redness, burning, or signs of an allergic reaction, stop using it immediately and consult your doctor.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting Mandelic Acid if you have extremely sensitive skin, eczema, or active sunburns. You should not use this product if you have a known allergy to any of its ingredients.

Avoid using other strong exfoliating acids or physical scrubs at the same time, as this can cause severe skin irritation. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Mandelic Acid to ensure it is safe for your situation.

Mandelic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the skin, helping improve skin texture, reduce acne, and promote a more even complexion. Its larger molecular size allows it to work more gradually, making it suitable for many people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.

• Gently Exfoliates the Skin: Helps remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother, softer, and healthier-looking skin.
• Helps Manage Acne: Unclogs pores, reduces excess oil, and helps decrease the formation of acne and blemishes.
• Improves Skin Tone: Helps fade post-acne marks, dark spots, and uneven pigmentation with regular use.
• Refines Skin Texture: Promotes smoother skin by reducing roughness and improving overall skin appearance.
• Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Its gentle exfoliating action may cause less irritation than some other alpha hydroxy acids when used as directed.

• Gel/ Lotion/Cream: Apply a thin layer with clean and dry hands on the skin's affected areas. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. Gently rub it into the skin until disappeared.
• Topical acid/Essence/Serum/Skin prep water: Take few drops and gently pat on the affected areas until they are absorbed into the skin.
• Peel: Cleanse your skin and pat dry. Take a small amount of the product and apply to the affected areas with an applicator. Leave on until it dries and wipe it off. Avoid applying the peel to sensitive areas of your skin, such as around your eyes, your nostrils, and the corners of your lips.
• Face wash: Work the face wash into a nice lather and apply it to the affected areas with your hands. Gently massage in circular motions and rinse off with clean water.
