11% L-Mandelic Serum

Face Reality 11 % L‑Mandelic Serum
A powerful, gentle exfoliating serum designed to address acne, pigmentation, and texture concerns using concentrated alpha-hydroxy acids in a soothing base.

When to Use: Start with once daily (preferably PM); patch test and gradually increase to twice daily as tolerated. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

Key Ingredients:
– L‑Mandelic Acid (11 %) – A slow-penetrating AHA that gently exfoliates, brightens, and offers antibacterial/antifungal support 
– L‑Lactic Acid (8 %) – Hydrating AHA that smooths texture and evens tone 
– Sodium Hyaluronate (Low‑Molecular-Weight) – Deep hydration by drawing moisture into the skin
– Niacinamide – Antioxidant that strengthens the barrier, reduces redness, and improves tone Best For: Oily, acne-prone, or textured skin seeking clearer, brighter results
Concerns: Breakouts, clogged pores, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven texture

Pro Tip: Expect a potential 2–4 week “purge” of congestion—this serum speeds up cell turnover. Reduce frequency if irritation occurs, then build back up slowly.
