15% Mandelic Serum is an alpha hydroxy acid serum that contains the chirally correct versions of both L-Mandelic acid and L-Lactic acid. L-Mandelic acid has a larger molecular weight than other alpha hydroxy acids slowing down epidermal penetration resulting in a more even exfoliation with less irritation. 1.0 oz. size for retail sale.
This water-based serum is recommended for skin prone to inflamed acne, noninflamed acne, fungal folliculitis, and hyperpigmentation. It is appropriate for use on the back or for oily skin that needs a boost up from 11% Mandelic Serum.
