Product Info:
Mandelic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds, known for its gentle exfoliating and skin-brightening properties. Due to its larger molecular size, it penetrates the skin more slowly than other AHAs, making it less irritating and ideal for sensitive skin. It helps to improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and unclog pores, making it beneficial for acne-prone and aging skin. Mandelic Acid is commonly used in serums, exfoliating treatments, and chemical peels.
Formulation Guidelines:
- Best dissolved in the water phase or alcohol-based solutions.
- Works well in serums, exfoliating toners, and creams.
- Ideal for formulations targeting dull skin, acne, and uneven texture.
- Should be used at a pH of 3.0 – 4.5 for optimal efficacy.
- Can be combined with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, or Peptides for enhanced skin benefits.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
