L-Mandelic Acid 8% Serum

Description

A targeted resurfacing serum created to clarify, smooth and brighten the skin.

L-Mandelic Acid works alongside niacinamide, peptides, licorice root and green tea to gently refine uneven texture, improve the appearance of blemishes and post-breakout marks, and promote a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

As a larger-molecule alpha hydroxy acid, mandelic acid exfoliates more gradually than many other AHAs, making it an effective option for skin that needs visible resurfacing with a more measured approach.

Antioxidant and barrier-supporting ingredients help balance the active formula, leaving skin looking smoother, clearer and more radiant over time.

Introduce gradually and use consistently for refined texture, clearer-looking skin and more even tone.

Key Benefits

• Gently exfoliates and resurfaces the skin

• Helps clarify congested and blemish-prone skin

Use

Apply 2 drops to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area.

Begin by using every other evening for the first two weeks to allow skin to acclimate. Frequency can then be adjusted according to your skin's tolerance, other active products in your routine and seasonal changes.

Avoid combining with other strong exfoliating products in the same routine if skin becomes sensitive or irritated.

Daily sun protection is essential when using exfoliating acids. Follow with Canopy SPF40 every morning and reapply as directed.
