Mandelic Acid 10% + HA

$8.00 CAD

Mandelic Acid 10% + HA offers superficial dermal peeling that is gentler than other alpha hydroxy acids.
Title

Mandelic Acid 10% + HA offers superficial dermal peeling that is gentler than other alpha hydroxy acids.

The molecular weight of mandelic acid is 152.1 daltons which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic acid is 76.0 daltons, for example). This larger size allows mandelic acid to penetrate the skin more slowly which in turn makes it very gentle and suitable for all skin types. You don't need a concentration of more than 10%, because then you would simply be achieving an indirect peeling strength that is more easily offered through lower percentages of glycolic acid.

Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.

Note: 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. Please refer to NIOD's Non-Acid Acid Precursor for such a suggested formula.

ph 3.50-3.70 | Alcohol-Free | Oil-Free | Silicone-Free | Nut-Free | Vegan | Gluten-Free | Cruelty-Free


HOW TO USE: Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance.

Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. Use only as directed. Contact of the product with the skin must be of limited frequency or duration.

Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

SIZE: 30ml

Returns & Exchanges

Once products leave the Socialite Beauty warehouse, all sales become final. Many products do not come with sanitary seals making it unsafe to put them back on the shelves. We want you as our customer to feel secure you're getting brand new, unused products from us. Because skin can take some time to adjust to new products as well as to detox from any changes, it is best to allow 2-3 weeks of use to see how your skin truly takes on new items. Sometimes a few uses alone is simply not enough time to let the new products get to work. If your product does have a seal and you would like to return it, please notify us via email if you will be returning a product you have purchased (info@socialitebeauty.ca) and include images of the sealed product. Provide your invoice number and reason(s) for the return/exchange. Once merchandise has arrived back to us, we will issue a refund minus return shipping cost.

The smoothest skin maker.

Smooth, hydrated skin very gently. I use in the pm almost every day. I layer with Niacinamide or Retinol, sometimes both. The texture of the serum is pleasant and the skin absorbs easily and quickly.

Highly recommended

I’ve been using this product for two weeks and I can honestly say that I’ve noticed a difference immediately. My skin has never been better. I am 43 years old and thought that I would just have to live with the change that life throws me. But this is a game changer. Everyone compliments my skin.

Love!

Love this product. I have normal to oily skin and feel like this is a great product to have part of my routine. I feel like this has helped with my blemishes and it dries quickly which is a bonus.
