Micro-exfoliation is normal. If excessive drying occurs, skip a few days and restart every other day.

What You Should Know

Anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, brightening, gently exfoliating Mandelic Acid will not trigger hyperpigmentation. Excellent alternative to glycolic acid for sensitive or dark skin tones.

Pro tips: 

Apply Pure C+E Antioxidant Serum after the Mandelic Acid serum has dried for added brightening and photoprotective effects.

Amount of Mandelic Acid

Hi,
Is there a recommended amount of the 15% Mandelic Acid Serum to be used? I noticed a specific amount of drops to use have not been stated on the box or bottle.

Dear Luann,

Thank you for contacting us and leaving a review about our product.

The 15% Mandelic Serum comes with a dropper. Once you squeeze the dropper, it will be filled half way. That amount should be enough to cover the whole face, excluding the eye area.

Hope this helps!

Love the product but don’t love the packaging/product dispensing method

The product has such a water-like consistency it’s difficult to use the eye dropper and not lose some of the product. I inevitably have some of the product running off my finger before it makes it to my face. I’d prefer a squeeze bottle that provides more control of the dispensing.

Dear J,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and also to let us know about the dropper for the 15% Mandelic Acid Serum.

We are happy that you love our product. Thank you for recommending it to your friends.

Regarding the dropper, let us guide you on a way to avoid wasting any product. Empty the dropper into the palm of your hands and use the fingers from the opposite hand to apply the product on your face. This way you will not waste product.

Hope this help and makes it easier for you to enjoy the product!
