MANDELIC ACID

Ingredient type:ASSETS

AHA exfoliating acid

✨ Role: Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps exfoliate the skin by removing dead cells. It improves skin texture, reduces pigmentation spots, and promotes cell renewal. It is valued for its gentleness, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Ingredient type: Water-soluble

‍⚕️ Safety: Yes, mandelic acid is generally safe for topical use, but it is recommended to start with gradual use to assess tolerance.

✨ Vegan: Yes, mandelic acid is plant-based, usually derived from bitter almonds.

✨ Good to know: Mandelic acid penetrates more slowly than other AHAs such as glycolic acid, making it less irritating. However, it can increase sensitivity to the sun, so it is important to apply sunscreen during the day.

Found in: Serums, chemical peels, toners, and skin care creams to reduce signs of aging and uneven skin tone.
