Mandelic acid is a alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which is on the more gentle side of spectrum compared with other AHA's. Thus, making it an ideal choice of chemical exfoliator even for sensitive skin.
Benefits:
✔Speed up cell turnover
✔Promote collagen production
✔Fight acne
✔Reduce Hyperpigmentation
Thoughts : It was surprisingly gentle on the skin even though it has 18% of mandelic acid. Dr wu also came out with a milder version of this which has a combination of 5% mandelic acid, 2% salicylic acid & 1% pyruvic acid.
Results : It did a pretty good job at reducing whiteheads but not blackheads. My hyperpigmentation caused be acne was lighten so mush faster than usual using this once or twice in a week.
