11% L-Mandelic Serum

DESCRIPTION:

Maximum strength, minimal irritation.
The 11% L-Mandelic Serum is Face Reality’s most potent mandelic acid formula, designed to address stubborn acne, visible texture, and persistent post-acne discoloration. This advanced exfoliating serum delivers high-level clarifying power while maintaining skin comfort, making it ideal for experienced users who have built tolerance to lower-strength acids. Mandelic acid’s unique molecular structure allows for deep pore-clearing action with less irritation—perfect for breakout-prone, oily, and uneven skin types.

Recommended for mild, moderate or severe inflamed, non-inflamed and combination acne. 

*We recommend starting with 5% or 8% L-Mandelic Serum before using 11%.
