Face Reality 11% L-Mandelic Serum — 1 oz

Refine • Clarify • Illuminate
This advanced exfoliating serum with 11% L-mandelic acid (plus L-lactic acid) is designed for skin that needs a step up—from textured, acne-prone, or post-blemish skin to uneven tone and back/shoulder breakouts.

Key Benefits

  • Deep, but controlled exfoliation through L-mandelic acid & L-lactic acid for smoother texture and brighter tone.
  • Supports fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and uneven skin surfaces.
  • Formulated with skin-friendly humectants and niacinamide for barrier support and antioxidant protection.
  • Ideal for face and body areas (e.g., back/chest) when previous 8% formulas weren’t enough.

How to Use

  1. After cleansing and drying the skin, apply 1 pump of the serum to face and/or body area needing exfoliation.
  2. Begin every other night (or fewer if your skin is sensitive); increase to nightly only if well tolerated.
  3. In the morning following use, always apply a broad-spectrum SPF—AHAs heighten sun sensitivity.
  4. Avoid combining with other strong exfoliants the same night; if irritation occurs, reduce frequency.
  5. For best results, pair with hydrating and barrier-supportive products — not purely active/stripping routines.
