Face Reality Mandelic Serum 8%

You should LOVE Mandelic Acid for several reasons—it’s a powerhouse ingredient that offers a range of benefits for your skin. Here's why:

1. Gentle Exfoliation: Mandelic acid is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) that provides a gentle yet effective exfoliation. Unlike other AHAs, it has larger molecules, which means it penetrates the skin more slowly, making it less likely to irritate, even for sensitive skin.

2. Targets Acne: Mandelic acid is fantastic for treating acne, as it helps to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and fight the bacteria that cause breakouts. It works for both non-inflamed (blackheads, whiteheads) and inflamed acne (cystic acne).

3. Hyperpigmentation Hero: It’s especially effective for fading hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots, sun damage, and post-acne marks (PIH). With regular use, you’ll notice a more even skin tone and brighter complexion.

4. Anti-Aging Benefits: Mandelic acid stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. It’s perfect for healthy aging, as it provides smooth texture and youthful radiance.

5. Antibacterial and Antifungal: Beyond exfoliating, Mandelic acid has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which makes it effective in treating conditions like folliculitis (ingrown hairs) and fungal acne.

6. Suitable for All Skin Types: Because of its gentleness, Mandelic acid works well for sensitive skin types, dry skin, and even those with rosacea or skin conditions that require a more delicate approach.

So, if you're looking for a multitasking ingredient that brightens, clears, and smooths your skin without causing irritation, Mandelic acid is definitely worth falling in love with!

WHY THIS SERUM?

Face Reality 8% Mandelic Serum is a potent corrective treatment for acne, folliculitis, and shaving bumps.

Face Reality doesn’t cut corners when it comes to quality. This serum is powered by L-Mandelic Acid and L-Lactic Acid, the chirally active forms of these molecules, ensuring maximum effectiveness. While other brands may mix different types of acids, Face Reality uses only the active form, making it highly effective for treating shaving bumps, folliculitis, inflamed and non-inflamed acne. These acids provide superior antibacterial, antifungal, and exfoliating properties, while also helping to lighten stubborn hyperpigmentation.

RECOMMENDED USE:

Ensure your skin is clean and free of irritation before applying. After cleansing and toning, dispense 1 to 2 pumps and allow it to absorb fully.

For added hydration during colder months or when starting this serum, layer it over Face Reality Hydrabalance.

Finish your routine with Face Reality Clearderma or Cran-Peptide followed by your favorite Face Reality sunscreen.

Use once or twice daily, based on your skin’s needs.
