Categories: Exfoliant.
Mandelic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). Although in the correct pH range of 3–4 it’s an effective exfoliant, glycolic acid is considered more effective due to its smaller size. As the smallest AHA, mandelic acid is twice as large as glycolic so penetrates more slowly and evenly into skin. These traits make mandelic acid more tolerable for those with sensitive skin or skin cannot tolerate glycolic acid. It’s even suitable for skin prone to rosacea.
Unlike glycolic acid, mandelic acid is light-sensitive and must be packaged in an opaque container to remain effective. Because of this, mandelic acid is less likely to make skin more sensitive to sunlight, an issue with glycolic acid that means daily sunscreen use becomes even more important.
