[US] Ordinary - Mandelic Acid

Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is a gentler alpha hydroxy acid for surface skin peeling than other alpha hydroxy acids. Mandelic acid has a molecular weight of 152.1 daltons, which is higher than that of other alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid is 76.0 daltons, for example). Because of its greater size, Mandelic Acid penetrates the skin more slowly, making it mild and suited for all skin types. A concentration of more than 10% is sufficient to properly exfoliate the skin.
