Mandelic Acid is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds, known for its larger molecular size that allows for slower penetration and a milder exfoliating experience. It helps promote a smoother, brighter, and more even-looking complexion by supporting the removal of surface buildup and dull skin cells. Mandelic Acid is commonly used in clarifying and resurfacing formulations to help refine texture, improve the appearance of uneven tone, and support skin renewal while remaining suitable for a wide range of skin types.
