5% 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. 
This water-based serum is recommended for skin prone to inflamed acne, noninflamed acne, fungal folliculitis, and hyperpigmentation. It is appropriate for all skin types when 8% Mandelic Serum 
cannot be tolerated during a skin sensitivity test. Always perform a skin sensitivity test with this 
serum before adding it to a client’s home care routine. 
Key ingredients include: 
5% L-Mandelic Acid: Alpha hydroxy acid that has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti- fungal properties, improves the appearance of pigmentation
4% L-Lactic Acid: Alpha hydroxy acid that is hydrating, exfoliating, and reduces pigmentation
Sodium Hyaluronate (L): Moisturizes, attracts and holds water in the skin
Sodium PCA: Potent hydrating and moisturizing humectant that is non-irritating
Niacinamide: Antioxidant that supports moisture retention and improves the appearance
of skin tone and texture
