If you like we can let you know when we have some more.

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% offers superficial dermal peeling that is gentler than other alpha hydroxy acids.

The molecular weight of mandelic acid is 152.1 daltons which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid is 76.0 daltons, for example).

This larger size allows mandelic acid to penetrate the skin more slowly which in turn makes it very gentle and suitable for all skin types including the most sensitive skin. You don't need a concentration of more than 10%, because then you would simply be achieving an indirect peeling strength that is more easily offered through lower percentages of glycolic acid.

This formula is alcohol-free, nut-free, gluten-free and vegan.

Directions

Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. Use only as directed. Contact of the product with the skin must be of limited frequency or duration.

Propanediol, Aqua (Water), Mandelic Acid, Glycerin, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for people who need to exfoliate but have sensitive skin Great product for someone like me, who has sensitive but textured skin. I cannot use other AHAs, but since Mandelic has the highest molecular form (glycolic being the smallest and most penetrating/irritating, and lactic in the middle), I can use this everyday without irritation. I use it nightly, and use after niacinamide and before with retinal & moisturiser with no irritation. It has a slightly oily feel to it, but it's not greasy or heavy.

I’ve got scaring from having spots on my chin. Would this reduce the redness? 

Asked by: Anonymous
Hi there, Thank you for contacting us. This Acid is used for exfoliating. We would not recommend using it on scars. However, for best advise, we would ask you to please contact a dermatologist. Thanks Annette Customer Service Agent

I know this product is meant to the face, but can it be used to help reduce stretch marks?

Asked by: Anonymous
I originally bought this to whiten my dark spots, armpit and groin. So yeah. As long as you do a patch test it’s a brilliant product.

I have dark spots on my face what products would you recommend

Asked by: Charlie Jo
As with using any skin product consistency is key. After 2 months continual use, it has improved my slight pigmentation so could help with dark spots.

Is it safe to use Mandolic acid in the evening with Niacinamide & Zinc serum or the Buffet serum?

Asked by: Simonne
Hey there, Mandelic Acid, Niacinamide & Zinc and the Buffet can be used together. You would apply either Niacinamide & Zinc or the Buffet first, then followed by Mandelic Acid. Hope this helps! Many thanks Katie, Beauty Expert
