Highlights

Description

This is a serum formulation that delivers 12% mandelic acid, a chemical exfoliant derived from fruit, alongside natural fruit AHAs and niacinamide. Mandelic acid is an exfoliant that removes dead surface skin, while niacinamide is a skin-conditioning ingredient. Per the brand, this product is designed to help address the appearance of dark spots and suits sensitive skin.

The serum comes in a 1 fl oz bottle and can be applied to the face, chest, and neck. Per the brand, this product is paraben-free, fragrance-free, and gluten-free. The brand says it is certified cruelty-free and vegan. Because this is an exfoliating product, daily SPF in the morning is essential to protect newly exposed skin.

The brand recommends using this a few times per week, starting with infrequent application and building up as your skin tolerates it. The main trade-off is that chemical exfoliants require gradual introduction to your routine and consistent sun protection. A patch test before full application is advised, especially if you have reactive skin.
