L-Mandelic acid is chirally correct and contains a larger molecule than other AHAs to provide even exfoliation with less irritation. Sodium hyaluronate and niacinamide provide moisturizing and barrier-healing benefits as well.
1 oz | Airless Pump
Anyone looking to treat acne, folliculitis, or hyperpigmentation will love this serum. Dry or sensitive skin types should start out with the 5% Mandelic Serum.
During the dry seasons or when first starting this serum, it is advised to layer this serum over Face Reality Hydrabalance.
After cleansing and toning, apply 1 pump to the face, or affected areas. Allow the skin to dry, and layer with your favorite moisturizer. Be sure to follow with SPF when used in the AM.
May be used once or twice per day, as directed by your AOS Acne Specialist.

Mandelic Srum
I am a firm believer of the Face Reality brand after experiencing better success with their products than I have had with rx and otc products in the last thirty years. This product is a staple. I've tried other brands of Mandelic serums to compare due to I feel that it tends to dry before getting good coverage, which is probably more so due to me trying to skimp on amount of product being used. The new packaging and pump took a little getting use to where I didn't over dispense product. I see that it helps best with preventing acne and reducing hyperpigmentation from the sun but not as much with helping acne inflammation.
