I love Mandelic acid and have been using it for years now. I use this serum plus peels every now and then. The 10% serum I was originally using was very expensive. So when I saw this had the same % an...Read more

Great value for the price. I have very sensitive, eczema-prone skin with a very oily T-zone and dryness/flaking everywhere else. The gentle exfoliation evened out my skin texture, and I found it non-d...Read more

One of the few acid exfoliants my skin can handle. I have tried low percentage lactic acid and glycolic acid and they are just too irritating. I still do not mix this mandelic exfoliant with other act...Read more

This is meant to be a very gentle chemical exfoliant. It has an oily consistency and applies like a dry oil. And is so gentle i can't tell if the softening of the skin the morning after is due to exfo...Read more

I was excited to try this serum since I like chemical exfoliants and wanted to try something more gentle than glycolic or lactic acid. It is a transparent liquid with a quite light consistency and no ...Read more
