The gentlest AHA, an 8% mandelic acid serum ideal for acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on all skin tones, including darker complexions.

Mandelic acid's larger molecule makes it gentler than other AHAs, which is exactly why it's my go-to for sensitive, melanin-rich, and acne-prone skin. It resurfaces gently, fades dark marks, and clears congestion without the harsh irritation other acids cause.

WHAT IT DOES:

• Gently exfoliates without stripping
• Fades post-acne dark spots and PIH
• Smooths rough or uneven texture
• Helps clear and prevent breakouts
• Softens fine lines
• Safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions

WHO IT'S FOR:

The ideal acid for melanin-rich and sensitive skin. Best for clients dealing with active acne, dark marks, and discoloration who can't tolerate harsher acids. Especially important for darker skin tones prone to PIH.

HOW TO USE:

After cleansing, apply 1 to 2 sprays to clean skin in the evening. Allow to absorb, then follow with moisturizer. Start 2 to 3 nights per week and build as your skin adjusts. Always wear SPF during the day.

ESTHETICIAN TIP:

If you struggle with dark marks left behind after breakouts, this is the product I'd reach for. Build up slowly, mandelic is gentle but consistency is what fades pigmentation. Daily SPF is non-negotiable.
