If you like we can let you know when we have some more.

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% 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 including the most sensitive skin. 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.

This formula is alcohol-free, nut-free, gluten-free and vegan.

Directions

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gentle and effective I'm on my third bottle now. This formulation has all non-comedogenic ingredients. While it's very gentle on the skin, it does the job. I use it every night followed by a moisturizer and this has helped reduce my active acne bumps and marks to a great extent without any side effects. No, It doesn't cure acne but does help manage it. Overall, one of the best sensitive skin AHA exfoliators out there.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the feeling! I did not have much luck with Glycolic Acid or Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, but Mandelic for the win! I love how fresh my face feels the mornings after using it. I don't get an oily feel like some have. I wasn't looking to treat a specific problem just needed an AHA in my routine. This will definitely stay in my line up.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Gentle My first foray into the world of acids. I am 48, and I use this product after washing my face. I let a few minutes go by to let it set, and I then add either a vitamin c serum or my trusty rosehip oil from the Ordinary. I have to say, I’m two weeks in, nightly application, and it is giving my skin a nice rosy glow. No burning or peeling, and my skin seems happy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Recommend I’m on my second bottle now after a few months, and I’ve definitely noticed a big difference since using it. I always used to get pimples pretty regularly, but since using this, i’ll get one maybe once a month?? Rather than a couple every other week. My skin tone has also evened out and just looks a lot clearer. I never really leave reviews but I just couldnt recommend this enough

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Favorite I've used this for few months now and out of all other TO exfoliators I've used, this is definitely my favorite one. I have very sensitive combination skin and I'm prone to get acne from time to time, this acid never irritates my skin and its been visibly looking clearer, feels smoother and helps with acne! Will definitely continue using this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Decision Ever! I have progressively seen the acne and texture bumps on my face reduce over the months since I switched to this and I am so happy with it. It's a definite staple for me now!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Broke out in an angry rash I don’t have sensitive skin and this has never happened with any other skin product but I put this on last night and broke out in a red, very itchy rash on my face, neck and decoletage this morning. Will not be reapplying!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from They are almost there...but are missing the mark This product does absolutely sit on top of the skin and does not absorb. I feel that most of the product ends up on my pillowcase. I feel "oily" after using it, and it still has not absorbed into my skin by the time I actually roll over and fall asleep, which is about 2 hours after I put it on. I give it 3 stars, as I do see a difference in my skin, it feels softer in the am. But I do hate the fact that it is oily feeling for hours after applying it. There is another company that makes a great Mandelic that absorbs seconds after applying that I will go back to.

I’ve got scaring from having spots on my chin. Would this reduce the redness? 

Asked by: Jordan
Hi there, Thank you for contacting us. This Acid is used for exfoliating. We would not recommend using it on scars. However, for best advise, we would ask you to please contact a dermatologist. Thanks Annette Customer Service Agent

I know this product is meant to the face, but can it be used to help reduce stretch marks?

Asked by: Shannen
I originally bought this to whiten my dark spots, armpit and groin. So yeah. As long as you do a patch test it’s a brilliant product.

I have dark spots on my face what products would you recommend

Asked by: Charlie Jo
As with using any skin product consistency is key. After 2 months continual use, it has improved my slight pigmentation so could help with dark spots.

Is it safe to use Mandolic acid in the evening with Niacinamide & Zinc serum or the Buffet serum?

Asked by: Simonne
Hey there, Mandelic Acid, Niacinamide & Zinc and the Buffet can be used together. You would apply either Niacinamide & Zinc or the Buffet first, then followed by Mandelic Acid. Hope this helps! Many thanks Katie, Beauty Expert
