This mild alpha hydroxy acid helps to dissolve dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and more even complexion. Due to its larger molecular size in comparison to glycolic and lactic acid, mandelic acid penetrates skin more slowly and can be suitable for those with sensitive skin. In addition to its exfoliating activity, mandelic acid can help with dark spots and sun damaged skin.
