Active Ingredient: Mandelic Acid (an alpha hydroxy acid - AHA derived from almonds). Function: Mandelic acid gently exfoliates the skin by breaking down dead skin cells and helps to reduce hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and acne. It has larger molecules than glycolic acid, which makes it less irritating. Benefits: Gently exfoliates and brightens the skin, with less irritation compared to other acids. Ideal for sensitive skin and people with darker skin tones, as it reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Helps with acne and smooths out skin texture over time. Improves the appearance of dark spots and evens skin tone. Best For: Those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, or those looking for a gentler exfoliant that brightens without causing irritation.
