Target Breakouts, Discoloration, and Texture—All in One Face Reality Mandelic Serum is a powerful multi-tasker designed to improve acne, reduce dark spots, and smooth out rough texture. It comes in four strengths—5%, 8%, 11%, and 15%—so you can progress gradually based on your skin’s needs and tolerance. Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works on both the surface and deeper layers of skin. It’s oil-soluble, so it clears out clogged pores while fading post-acne marks and evening out skin tone—without the irritation that stronger acids can cause. Mandelic Acid: Larger molecular size AHA than glycolic or lactic acid, which allows for slower absorption and makes it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Lactic Acid: AHA that gently exfoliates the skin’s surface while also providing hydration, making it ideal for sensitive or dry skin types. Sodium Hyaluronate: Salt form of Hyaluronic Acid, which penetrates deeper into the skin. Attracts water, offering intense hydration and plumping effects.
