Mandelic acid

An aromatic alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from the hydrolysis of an extract of bitter almonds, commonly used in skincare products for its exfoliating properties. It helps in the removal of dead skin cells, promotes cell turnover, and improves skin texture while being gentler and less likely to cause irritation compared to other AHAs. Mandelic acid is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin, acne, hyperpigmentation, or those seeking anti-aging benefits.
