Mandelic acid is a type of Alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) which is a mild exfoliant and antibacterial agent. The substance derives from bitter almonds. Alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) speeds up the cellular turnover rate & makes the skin to get rid of dead cells. Mandelic Acid provides a second generation of alpha hydroxy acids, no irritation or redness, lightening properties. It can be used for AHA peeling for acne-prone skin.
Mandelic acid is a gentle AHA, which makes it suitable for people with sensitive skin or those who find other chemical exfoliants too strong for their skin. In comparison with other AHAs, mandelic acid is a larger molecule, about twice the size of glycolic acid. Due to this reason, mandelic acid has a slow skin penetration which results in less irritation to the skin than other AHAs.
