5% L-Mandelic Serum

DESCRIPTION:

The 5% L-Mandelic Serum offers a mild yet effective approach to treating acne, dullness, and uneven skin tone. Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types, this serum delivers the benefits of mandelic acid—a brightening, antibacterial AHA—without the irritation common in stronger exfoliants. It helps decongest pores, smooth rough texture, and fade post-acne marks, making it a trusted first step in clearing and balancing breakout-prone skin.

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

BENEFITS

WHY WE LOVE IT: 

• Clears and refines pores – Helps reduce blackheads, congestion, and texture irregularities.
• Fades dark spots and acne marks – Supports brighter, more even-toned skin.
• Antibacterial properties – Targets the bacteria associated with breakouts.
• Gentle exfoliation – Stimulates cell turnover without the sting of harsher acids.
• Acne-safe and non-comedogenic – Designed for use in professional acne care routines.
