Shout out to chatgpt for helping me figure out some skin issues and recommending this product because I did not know it existed. I wish I would have know 10..15 years ago but I'm guessing it would have been a lot more difficult if not impossible to find. Anyway... this is definitely the superior exfoliant for me. It feels almost oily going on but then it feels like it is drawing moisture to the skin. It then absorbs and has helped make my skin so soft, brighter, and has helped reduce and make more removable dark keratin plugs I am prone to on my chin. I initially had a bit of sensitivity and if I use it too many nights in a row my skin might get a bit more dry and sensitive but it is so gentle compared to other products while giving great results. I used AHA for years and while it made my skin soft and helped with breakouts, it stung a lot and caused a lot of redness. I won't be without this now. It's amazing. Read more
I had cystic neck acne and I’m now 30 years old and upset I’m just learning about the amazing wonders of mandelic acid. I deep dived into it and decided to get this. I only SPOT TREAT with this stuff to help heal my cystic acne and prevent pih and treat hyperpigmentation. I have brown skin and this stuff is amazingggggg at clearing up blemishes fast because it’s also antibacterial. I used it twice a day spot treatment only for the past 2 days and I’ve already seen an improvement. The cyst is FLAT and my hyperpigmentation is fading. I use the Dennis gross aha bha face wash, then spot treat with this 10% mandelic acid, then apply sunscreen 10 mins after. At night it’s the same minus sunscreen and just moisturizer or the Dennis gross texture serum. This stuff is amazing for the price! Read more
I wish I took before photo! Didn’t think results would be this impressive. I touch my skin more frequently now because it feels baby soft & smooth I’m serious lol 30 yrs been struggling w/ oily skin, large clogged pores, uneven texture, no glow, no confidence to leave face bare in public—I feel much better now, hoping after long term use I can feel better in minimal to zero face makeup. Under $8 but results noticed very next day after face washing. Results: smoothness, softness, brightening I am not new to this brand. Owned & tried about 10 products, this one is the best so far for my problem areas w/o breaking me out or cause more oiliness. Within the first wk, saw skin was very much improved & brightened. I always wear foundation to hide blemishes & acne scars, but now feel more confident w/ bare face. It seemed to make my pores less noticeable too. 1st night was the only time I felt minor itchiness n tingling at sides of my cheeks, not bad, have since adjusted to product. Remember sunscreen since it is an acid. Tried on my 80+y/o mother who has delicate sensitive skin—she didn’t have sensitivity to it first use—also noticed brightening effects after few uses. Her skin is nice already but tone is darkened, this product evened it out & seems to make skin glow naturally. I also recommend their retinol product—their page lists which retinol strength is suitable for you! Layered this acid with retinol & no negative side effects to report—will continue to use. Highly recommend! Read more
This works better than I thought, I have eczema and I thought I would have a breakout but I dont so I would definitely recommend, it has no scent and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin, its moisturizing and easy to apply. Read more
I love Mandelic acid and will always repurchase it. Been trying new skincare products and it doesn’t exactly mesh well with it and leaves the area darker (burnt) than how it was initially so that’s something to be mindful of. My skin feels soft after using it and it’s pretty good at getting rid of acne, that’s what I use it for Read more
Works sooo well. A little goes a long way. Helped with my problem areas and skin looks alot smoother using this and a mix of other things. ( yes I bedazzled the bottle myself ) lol Read more
I loved this serum from The Ordinary. The mandelic acid is gentle yet effective, perfect for sensitive skin, and it leaves the skin smoother and more radiant. Plus, the hyaluronic acid adds extra hydration without any greasy feeling. I highly recommend it to improve texture and give your face a healthier look. Read more
