Mandelic Acid Magic

My favorite skincare ingredient of all time has to be mandelic acid. Mandelic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid that is extracted from bitter almonds. Mandelic Acid has the largest molecule size of the AHA's, meaning it doesn't penetrate as deep and cause as much irritation or inflammation. This makes it safe for just about anyone and a perfect peel for a first time peel client. I love the results this ingredient provides without having lots of drying & flakiness. This ingredient is very beneficial for acne, aging & pigmentation.
