This 10% mandelic acid serum is a "gentler" alternative to glycolic or lactic acid serums. The PH of this serum is between 3.5 and 3.7. This serum from The Ordinary provides hydration and light exfoliation for a more radiant complexion. This exfoliant is therefore ideal if you have sensitive skin.
Description
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid AHA less well-known than lactic or glycolic acid. The molecule of mandelic acid is much larger than that of the other acids, so it penetrates less deeply into the epidermis, making it gentler than the others.
How do I use mandelic acid from The Ordinary?
Mandelic acid exfoliation can be used in the morning or evening, after cleansing but before applying a serum or cream. Even if it's a gentle exfoliant, you need to moisturize your skin with serums, gel-creams or creams depending on your skin type. You should also protect your skin from the sun, as there's always a risk of being more sensitive to UV rays with exfoliating acids.
What products should Mandelic Acid Scrub not be mixed with?
As Mandelic acid has an acidic PH, it may destabilize cosmetic products containing peptides or retinol.
Ingredients:
Propanediol, Aqua (Water), Mandelic Acid, Glycerin, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol.
Beauty decoded's opinion
I can recommend this exfoliant to people who want a very gentle exfoliation. This may be useful if you already use retinol and don't want to use a strong exfoliant. This serum has a light texture that takes a little time to absorb. It also contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate your skin. To sum up, I recommend this exfoliant if you have sensitive skin or skin sensitized by other cosmetic products.
What are the alternatives?
What are The Ordinary's alternatives to mandelic acid?
If you want a slightly stronger type of acid, you can use The Ordinary's 5% lactic acid.
You can opt for PHA, poly hydroxy acid "gluconolactone or lactobionic acid", several brands have this type of product such as SVR, Neostrata etc...

I've been using this serum for over 1 month and I'm very satisfied. My skin is brighter and my spots have faded. Perfectly suited to my sensitive skin.

Very good exfoliant, although I prefer The Ordinary's lactic acid, which gives me more radiance.

I love it! Very gentle on my combination and sensitive skin. I alternate coffee with lactic acid at 10%. So I use them every morning. I buy both regularly. I recommend them!
