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.

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.
