Paula’s Choice 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Exfoliant, Gentle Daily AHA Exfoliation for Discoloration, Bumpy Texture & Radiance, for Sensitive

Brand: Paula's Choice

6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant is a complex of gentle alpha hydroxy acids that resurface & shed built-up layers of dead skin. This unique formula exfoliates skin's surface, smooths texture, softens fine lines & brightens. Renewing ingredients like yarrow extract & a fermented antioxidant blend of cherry blossom, chocolate vine & yumberry support the skin’s microbiome & barrier while working beneath skin’s surface for younger-looking skin over time. This exfoliant has an optimal pH range of 3.0-4.0. How often should mandelic acid serums be used? Serums and exfoliants containing AHAs like mandelic acid or lactic acid are typically used 2-3 times per week at first, then increased to nightly as tolerated. Apply to clean, dry skin, avoiding sensitive areas, and follow with moisturizer. Use SPF during the day to protect skin and maintain results. What are key benefits of mandelic acid serums? Both mandelic acid and lactic acid gently exfoliate, improve rough skin texture, reduce blemishes, and brighten dull, uneven skin tone with less risk of irritation compared to other AHAs. Formulas containing both acids, such as the Paula’s Choice 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant, are incredibly effective for all skin types - including skin prone to sensitivity. How does mandelic acid compare to other acid treatments? Mandelic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with a larger molecular size than glycolic acid, so it works gradually over time, making it gentler & less likely to cause sensitivity. Mandelic acid effectively exfoliates dead skin, brightens dull & uneven skin tone, and smooths rough texture, making it ideal for sensitive and dry skin types. What are key ingredients in lactic acid exfoliants? Key ingredients in lactic acid exfoliants include 2-10% lactic acid (an AHA for gentle chemical exfoliation), hydrators like glycerin or saccharomyces, soothing agents such as panthenol, potent antioxidants to protect against free-radical damage, and pH buffers for skin tolerance. What skin types are lactic acid exfoliants suitable for? Lactic acid exfoliants are best for dry, sensitive, and normal skin. They gently exfoliate dead skin, visibly smooth rough skin texture, combat uneven skin tone & discoloration, and noticeably brighten a dull complexion.
