5% Mandelic Acid Serum
Mandelic Acid is a slow penetrating alpha hydroxyl acid. It has a larger molecular weight that sits on the surface of the skin and gently exfoliates without irritating the skin. Mandelic Acid helps to exfoliate dead skin cells and promotes skin cell turnover and reduces fine lines. Additional key ingredients like Panthenol, Centella Asiatica Extract soothe and moisturize the skin even after exfoliation.

Mandelic Acid is an AHA that comes from bitter almond and is named after the german name of almond, 'mandel'. It can gently lift off surface skin cells and make the skin more smooth and even. It has antibacterial properties and thus helps in reducing acne. It also works on superficial pigmentation to reveal an even looking skin.
Also called beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), Salicylic acid, is extracted from willow tree bark. This multifunctional ingredient addresses many of the systemic causes of acne. Its primary benefit is as an exfoliant because it can penetrate the pore lining and exfoliate inside the pore as well as on the surface of the skin.
PHA has all the benefits of AHAs without the irritation. It gently lifts off dead skin cells and makes your skin smooth and even. It moisturises and helps the skin barrier. It can be used by sensitive skin too. In the long run, it provides anti-aging benefits and is also an antioxidant.
