Description

Gentle exfoliation, bumpy skin, dry patches, fine lines

Ideal for sensitive skin, suitable for all skin types

*   **Mandelic acid** is known as the mildest alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) because it is a larger molecule that does not permeate our skin as fast as other AHAs, boosting skin resurfacing without discomfort
    
*   Mild Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs), that is, **Phytic Acid and Gluconolactone**, boost the Mandelic Acid effects with additional brightening and hydrating benefits
    
*   **Two sizes of** **hyaluronic acid** salt enhance the hydrated, silky touch and help smooth out dry skin patches and fine lines

AHA, PHAs, and Allantoin support skin renewal, reducing the appearance of bumpy skin and refining the overall texture

EXFOLIATE

Hydrates to smooth the appearance of fine lines and dry skin patches, while giving a pleasant, soft touch

Smooth

Over time, mild exfoliation yields a brighter, more even skin tone and a radiant complexion

Even out

This serum contains a high concentration of Mandelic Acid and other very mild PHAs to deliver gentle exfoliation without skin discomfort. Particularly suitable for sensitive skin, this formulation also helps to draw moisture into the skin, smoothing imperfections and dry, flaky skin.

How is the Good Molecules Mandelic Acid Serum different from other AHA serums?

Mandelic Acid is recommended for anyone who wants gentle exfoliation for a smoother, brighter complexion but knows their skin does not respond well to other exfoliating acids (for example, glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acids). It can also help improve the appearance of signs of premature aging, such as fine lines and sunspots.

Why use Mandelic Acid?

Our serum was optimized to work safely and gently on sensitive skin, and it may be used by other skin types as well. However, because every skin is different, we always recommend doing a patch test, even if you don’t consider yourself to have sensitive skin.

Will this serum irritate my skin?

This product is considered safe for use while pregnant or breastfeeding, but it’s always best to check with your healthcare provider first. Remember to inform them of other products you may be layering with our serum.

I’m pregnant or breastfeeding. Is the Mandelic Acid Serum safe for me?

We recommend applying it once at night, up to four times weekly. Remember to wear SPF during the daytime.

How often can I use the Mandelic Acid Serum?

It depends on each person, but noticeable results may occur after a few weeks of consistent use.

How long will it take until I notice the results?

We do not add fragrance to this product, but it has a subtle scent characteristic from its ingredients, including the Mandelic Acid.

What does the serum smell like?

This is a jelly-like serum that easily rubs in, feels refreshing, and quickly dries down on the skin. It leaves behind a hydrating film that works as a good canvas for layering the next skincare.

What is the consistency like? How does it feel on the skin?

This product is not an acne medication, but it may help manage the effects of acne, such as blemish marks, rough texture, breakouts, and flaky skin. Do not apply this product to injured or damaged skin, including inflamed acne bumps and open lesions.

Can I use this if I have active breakouts? Does this work for acne-prone skin?

It depends on your skin. You may experience purging with this serum in the first weeks, especially if you noticed purging with other exfoliating acids before (AHAs, BHAs).

Will this serum cause purging

Absolutely. We suggest waiting until each serum is fully absorbed before applying the next one. We also recommend doing a patch test before using more than one serum on your skin.

Can I layer with other Good Molecules serums?

Some may develop enhanced skin sensitivity if this serum is used in combination with retinol and other retinoids (tretinoin, retinal, etc.). We recommend avoiding retinoids while using this serum. We also recommend not doubling down on products that contain exfoliant acids, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid.

What should I not use this serum with?

The Mandelic Acid Serum is more gentle and suitable for people with sensitive skin compared to the [Overnight Exfoliating Treatment](https://www.goodmolecules.com/products/overnight-exfoliating-treatment?variant=41253515329636).
