Mandelic acid is also one of the best acid selections for those with darker complexions because it isn't melanotoxic, Dr. Marmur notes. In other words, it doesn't kill melanocytes and won't exacerbate discoloration. Instead, it will decrease the appearance of dark spots due to acne, sun exposure, or otherwise in all the right ways. Dr. Kikam agrees, adding, "mandelic acid peels are considered well-tolerated in patients of color with less risk of hyperpigmentation, photosensitivity, and scarring compared to other AHAs, like glycolic acid." Despite its larger particle size, mandelic acid also delves deeper into skin than other AHAs because it's oil-soluble, as Allure . Glycolic and lactic acids, on the other hand, are water-soluble, so they only work on the top layers of skin. How does mandelic acid benefit skin? Mandelic acid's powerful antibacterial properties team up with its gentle exfoliating, cell-turnover-activating abilities team up to defeat acne, dull skin, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles. It does the latter by boosting collagen production, too, Dr. Marmur says. After about one to three weeks of use, you'll notice mandelic acid is making your skin smoother, brighter, plumper, and clearer, she adds. I like to think of mandelic acid as an electricity-free A major downside of mandelic acid is Allure. So when they are both on your skin, they can create redness, sensitivity, and excessive dryness.

Mandelic acid belongs to the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family. Extracted from bitter almonds, this naturally derived acid has been shown to improve all skin types from oily and acne prone to mature, sensitive and everything in between. Best known for its exfoliation capability, mandelic acid is gentler than its fellow AHAs, glycolic and lactic acids. Plus, it's oil soluble which allows it to not only exfoliate the surface of your skin but work deeper down on your pores as well. The natural acid boosts skin cell turnover by dissolving the tiny bonds that hold skin cells together. This sloughs away the dull, dead cells to reveal the smooth, healthy ones underneath. An excellent choice for exfoliation beginners, mandelic acid provides a gentle experience. The larger size mandelic molecule absorbs more slowly than other AHAs, meaning it won't cause irritation, even to sensitive skin. Widely used as an anti-aging treatment, mandelic acid provides a multitude of benefits ranging from lightening discoloration and signs of hyperpigmentation to softening lines and wrinkles and treating acne. When added to skin care, mandelic acid accelerates cell turnover to strengthen collagen and reverse damage caused from aging and sun exposure. It also helps to regulate sebum production to prevent future blemishes. Find the solution that's right for your skin in the curated shop below.
