Face Reality Mandelic Serum
This mandelic-acid-based corrective serum combines with lactic acid to provide the ultimate exfoliating, clarifying, and brightening effects to heal acne and lighten hyperpigmentation. 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.
- Exfoliates and brightens
- Clarifies pores
- Provides antioxidant support
1 oz | Airless Pump

I use this in the evenings as part of my regimen with other FR products. It helps with acne, texture, and even aging I think. It definitely has played a role in improving my skin over the last couple years, though is not a holy grail solution for keeping acne away. The 11% was too strong for me so i had to switch back to the 8%, and I started with the 5%.

Acne, SensitivityRated 3 out of 5 stars1 week agoCan be very helpful, but there's a learning curve if you have sensitive skin!
I have very sensitive & acne prone skin... this helped my overall skin appearance; however, the skin purging phase was rough. Start with 1-2x per week and increase with caution! when used correctly, can be very helpful!
