The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is an exfoliating serum that combines mandelic acid with hyaluronic acid to provide a gentle, yet effective treatment for improving skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. Mandelic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that is derived from bitter almonds and is known for being milder and less irritating than other AHAs like glycolic acid.

Key Features & Benefits

✔ 10% Mandelic Acid – Mandelic acid is a gentler exfoliant compared to other AHAs, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It works to exfoliate the surface of the skin, promote cell turnover, and improve skin texture.
✔ Improves Skin Texture & Tone – Regular use helps brighten the skin, smooth out rough texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
✔ Gentle Exfoliation – Due to its larger molecular structure, mandelic acid penetrates more slowly than other AHAs, which means it provides a less irritating, gentler exfoliation while still being effective.
✔ Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – HA is a powerful hydrating ingredient that helps to plump and retain moisture in the skin, ensuring the treatment doesn’t strip the skin of moisture.
✔ Suitable for Sensitive Skin – Mandelic acid’s gentle nature makes this serum a great option for those with sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin who need an exfoliant that won’t cause irritation.
✔ Brightening Effect – Helps with uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots, leaving the skin looking radiant and fresh.
✔ Free from Harsh Additives – The formula is free from alcohol, parabens, and sulfates, making it safe for a variety of skin types.

Texture & Suitability

• Lightweight serum with a smooth, watery consistency that easily absorbs into the skin.
• Ideal for dry, sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin types.
• If you have very sensitive skin, it’s a good idea to patch-test first to ensure there’s no irritation.

How to Use

1. Apply a few drops of the Mandelic Acid 10% + HA serum onto clean, dry skin after cleansing.
2. Gently massage into the face, avoiding the eye area.
3. Use in the evening, as AHAs can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
4. Follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
5. Always apply sunscreen during the day, as exfoliating acids increase the skin's sensitivity to UV rays.
