Face Reality 5% Mandelic Acid Serum is an exfoliating treatment designed to improve the appearance of breakouts, clogged pores, uneven skin tone, and post-acne dark spots.

Formulated with 5% mandelic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), this serum helps remove dead surface skin cells and improve the appearance of congestion and rough texture. Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than glycolic acid, making it a popular choice for acne-prone skincare routines.

The 5% concentration offers a lower-strength option compared to the 8% Mandelic Acid Serum, making it a potential starting point for clients introducing mandelic acid under the guidance of their skincare professional.

After cleansing, allow your skin to dry completely. Apply a thin, even layer of 5% Mandelic Acid Serum to your face, avoiding the eye area. Follow with a hydrating moisturizer.

Introduce gradually and use according to your Face Reality acne specialist's recommendations. Your application frequency should depend on your skin's tolerance and current treatment routine.

Pro Tip: If you're new to mandelic acid, starting with a lower concentration can help you assess your skin's tolerance before considering stronger exfoliating treatments. Keep your routine gentle and hydrating!

Important: Avoid layering with other exfoliating acids, scrubs, retinoids or benzoyl peroxide in the same routine unless instructed by your skincare professional. Do not apply to irritated or broken skin. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning.
