The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid serum that helps improve skin clarity, balance uneven skin tone, and correct skin texture.

Why We Love It

This cleverly formulated leave-on exfoliating serum is an alternative to more irritating acids and is friendly to sensitive or reactive skin. It's a great option for more frequent exfoliation too!

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA

Mandelic Acid 10% + HA offers superficial dermal peeling that is gentler than other alpha hydroxy acids. The molecular weight of mandelic acid is 152.1 daltons which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid is 76.0 daltons, for example). This larger size allows mandelic acid to penetrate the skin more slowly which in turn makes it very gentle and suitable for all skin types. 

Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. 

ROUTINE

Apply after cleanser, toner and/or essence. 

HOW TO APPLY

Apply 2-3 drops onto fingertips and massage into entire face or where needed until absorbed. 

FOLLOW WITH

Emulsions, creams, oils and sunscreen.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
