Vanity Skin MD™ - Mandelic 5

Mandelic 5 is an alpha hydroxy acid serum that contains the chirally correct versions of both l-mandelic acid and l-lactic acid. L-Mandelic acid has a larger molecular weight than other alpha hydroxy acids slowing down epidermal penetration resulting in a more even exfoliation with less irritation. This water-based serum is recommended for skin prone to inflamed acne, non-inflamed acne, fungal folliculitis, and hyperpigmentation.

This serum was created to be used daily or every other day for gentle exfoliation for problematic, oily, acne prone skin. Formulated using a cold-processing technique to ensure that all our bio-active ingredients are maintained at the premium potency for maximum effectiveness.

Mandelic acid, referred to as the “German mandel - almond",  is a larger molecule than the glycolic acid molecule therefore can be more easily tolerated on skin types that cannot tolerate glycolic acid.  Mandelic acid, as opposed to glycolic acid or lactic acid, has antibacterial properties and is lipophilic "oil loving" making it the choice for oily, blemish prone skin.
