11% Mandelic Serum
Take your skin-refining routine a step further with Face Reality 11% Mandelic Serum, an intensive alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) treatment designed to improve uneven skin tone, smooth rough texture, and reveal a clearer, brighter complexion.
Why You'll Love It:
-
Intensive Exfoliation: Combines L-mandelic acid and L-lactic acid to remove accumulated dead skin cells and improve overall skin texture.
-
Brightens Uneven Skin Tone: Helps improve the appearance of discoloration, post-breakout marks, and dullness for a more radiant complexion.
-
Targets Acne-Prone Skin: Mandelic acid's antibacterial properties make it a valuable ingredient for skin prone to inflammatory and noninflammatory breakouts.
-
Refines Rough Texture: Encourages smoother, softer-looking skin by reducing surface buildup and unevenness.
-
Gentler Acid Penetration: Mandelic acid's larger molecular size allows it to penetrate more slowly than many other AHAs, helping promote gradual, more even exfoliation.
-
Supports Skin Hydration: Lactic acid offers moisture-supporting benefits while helping improve surface texture.
-
Improves Overall Skin Clarity: Helps reduce dullness and accumulated surface buildup for a more refreshed, balanced-looking complexion.
-
Versatile Face & Body Care: Can be incorporated into routines addressing blemishes, discoloration, and uneven texture on the face or body when recommended by your provider.
-
Suitable for a Variety of Skin Types: Can benefit acne-prone and non-acne-prone skin when used at an appropriate strength and frequency.
Ingredient Highlights
-
L-Mandelic Acid: A chirally correct alpha-hydroxy acid with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that helps exfoliate the skin and improve the appearance of pigmentation.
-
L-Lactic Acid: A chirally correct alpha-hydroxy acid that promotes exfoliation, supports hydration, and helps improve uneven skin tone and texture.
How to Use
Apply to clean, dry skin according to the instructions provided by your Face Reality Acne Expert or skincare provider.
11% Mandelic Serum is a higher-strength exfoliating treatment, making it particularly appropriate for those who have already established tolerance to lower concentrations of mandelic acid. Your provider will determine the ideal application frequency based on your skin's needs and existing skincare regimen.
Recommended for those concerned with acne, uneven skin tone, post-breakout discoloration, dullness, or rough texture.
Pro Tip: Moving up in strength should always be based on your skin's response, not simply the desire for faster results! Your Acne Expert can help determine whether 11% Mandelic Serum is the right next step or if another concentration would better support your goals.

Avoid combining with other exfoliating acids or retinoids unless directed by your provider, and use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily.
