8% Mandelic Serum

8% Mandelic Serum

$43.00

Face Reality's 8% Mandelic Serum is a water-based exfoliating serum formulated with chirally correct L-Mandelic Acid (8%) and L-Lactic Acid (4%) to gently sweep away dead skin cells and improve the look of texture, tone, and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and sodium PCA help support the skin's moisture barrier while exfoliating. Designed as a step-up option for those who have built tolerance with the 5% Mandelic Serum, it delivers stronger exfoliation with the same low-irritation profile mandelic acid is known for.

Benefits

Improves texture and tone of dull-looking skin
Gradually exfoliates dead skin cells for clearer, brighter skin
Helps diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
Exfoliates with minimal irritation due to mandelic acid's larger molecular size
Provides antioxidant support with niacinamide

Key Ingredients

L-MANDELIC ACID (8%)
A chirally-correct alpha hydroxy acid with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal properties; its larger molecular weight allows slower penetration for even exfoliation with reduced irritation.

L-LACTIC ACID (4%)
An additional AHA that exfoliates, hydrates, and helps reduce the appearance of pigmentation.

NIACINAMIDE
Supports the skin's moisture barrier and antioxidant defense while helping improve the look of skin tone.

SODIUM HYALURONATE & SODIUM PCA
Humectants that bind water to the skin, helping offset the drying effect of exfoliating acids.

How to Use

Apply 2 to 3 pumps all over a clean, dry face or to the affected area, typically as part of an evening routine, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated.
