Loading... Please wait...Powerful on blemishes but gentle on skin, our new Mandelic Acid Serum will give you a clearer, brighter and smoother complexion. Mandelic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin, ridding the pores of debris, bacteria and dead skin cells that cause acne, but does so without the irritation other AHAs often cause. In addition, Mandelic Acid effecitevely softens fine lines and wrinkles over time and reduces skin pigmentation. Because Mandelic acid is a large-form molecule, it is much slower to penetrate the skin's layers, which allows for a more even and gentle treatment. Our Serum also contains 2% Azelaic Acid, which acts as an anti-inflammatory. Learn more about Mandelic Acid and it's skin benefits.
Best for: Mild to severe blemishes or acne, fine lines and wrinkles, mild pigmentation (age spots, large freckles). Extremely gentle and safe for all skin types.
Directions: Use on clean skin in PM. Apply a few drops over entire face with clean fingertips. Since this is a slow penetration product, we recommend you wait 15-20 minutes before applying other products.
Active Ingredients: Mandelic Acid (8%), Azelaic Acid (2%) Inactive Ingredient: Aloe Vera Gel.
Note* Due to the fact that we use a high concentration of active ingredients in the Mandelic Serum some sediment can settle at the bottom. This is completely normal. Simply mix it with a Q-tip or shake the bottle to remix the product.

I tried this product because I have very sensitive skin that can't handle most alpha hydroxys. I am very happy to say that as promised this is very gentle on my skin - no dryness, redness or peeling and my skin actually seems softer. After only a few days all of my blackheads (a major issue for me) are completely gone. So far, I'm really liking this product!

Melanie gave me this product to test about 3 months ago...and I have to say, it really is a miracle product. For years I have had tiny bumps on my forehead that just would not go away and gave my skin a pebble-like appearance. It was by far my biggest insecurity. In addition, my skin is very sensitive and peels very easily so I couldn't use glycolic or other stronger AHA's or else my skin would look like a peeling desert.
After about 4 days using the Mandelic Serum morning and night the bumps were COMPLETELY GONE. I couldn't believe it... they had been there for YEARS. Melanie also recommended that I start using it on some very slight wrinkles I was developing and it seems to be reducing those too. Now that I am bump free and wrinkle free my skin has never looked better!!!
