11% L-Mandelic Serum

Our gold standard 11% L-Mandelic Serum is an alpha hydroxy acid serum that contains the chirally correct versions of both l-mandelic acid and l-lactic acid. L-Mandelic acid has a larger molecular weight than other alpha hydroxy acids slowing down epidermal penetration resulting in a more even exfoliation with less irritation. This water-based serum is recommended for skin prone to inflamed acne, noninflamed acne, fungal folliculitis, and hyperpigmentation.

Benefits: 

• Exfoliates
• Anti-fungal
• Hydrates

Directions: 

New packaging: Apply 1 pump all over a clean face or affected area.

Recommended for skin prone to all types of acne, folliculitis, and hyperpigmentation.
