What’s special about this formulation is that it’s a superficial alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a large molecular weight (152.1 daltons, which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid, which has a molecular weight of 76.0 daltons). This larger molecular weight gives Mandelic Acid a lower penetration rate, making it a great option for first-time users.⁣⁣

While exfoliating acids can result in quick visible benefits, we generally suggest the use of indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids
