How to Dilute Mandelic Acid

Hey everyone! I’ve recently been using The Ordinary “Mandelic Acid 10% + HA”, but diluting it as the bottle says because my skin is so sensitive. I have seen positive results for acne, but I want to make sure I’m getting the most out of the product. What should I dilute this with? I’ve been mixing it with my moisturizer (Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream), but I’m not sure if this is the best way to dilute it. Should I mix it with toner instead?

Or maybe you can try apply on dry skin instead ? Apply toner> wait for 3-5mins> mandelic acid> serum/ moisturiser

Hi! Please apply any type of aha pn dry skin. If mandelic acid is still too irritating, dilute it with hyaluronic acid serum or use pha instead of mandelic acid :)
