Mandelic acid is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a larger molecular size than many other AHAs, making it a great option for many skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin that may not tolerate stronger exfoliants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"547\" data-start=\"517\" data-section-id=\"ykke0u\"\u003eHow do I use it correctly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"929\" data-start=\"548\"\u003eAfter cleansing, gently wipe one pad over the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Do not rinse. Allow the product to absorb before applying serums and moisturizer. Start by using the pads 2–3 evenings per week, then gradually increase frequency as your skin tolerates them. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"985\" data-start=\"931\" data-section-id=\"17j26eo\"\u003eWhat are the key ingredients, and what do they do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1520\" data-start=\"986\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1175\" data-start=\"986\" data-section-id=\"1bkimug\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1008\" data-start=\"988\"\u003e5% Mandelic Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e – A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin's surface, helping improve texture, brighten discoloration, and reduce the appearance of post-acne marks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1312\" data-start=\"1176\" data-section-id=\"1prpb4s\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1206\" data-start=\"1178\"\u003eNiacinamide (Vitamin B3)\u003c\/strong\u003e – Helps brighten uneven skin tone, support the skin barrier, and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1409\" data-start=\"1313\" data-section-id=\"siazee\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1337\" data-start=\"1315\"\u003eBotanical Extracts\u003c\/strong\u003e – Help soothe and calm the skin while providing antioxidant protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1520\" data-start=\"1410\" data-section-id=\"t206or\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1437\" data-start=\"1412\"\u003eHydrating Ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e – Help minimize dryness and support a healthy moisture balance during exfoliation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1587\" data-start=\"1522\" data-section-id=\"gdj8re\"\u003eCan I use this with retinol, vitamin C, or exfoliating acids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1620\" data-start=\"1588\"\u003eYes, but with a few precautions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2148\" data-start=\"1621\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1763\" data-start=\"1621\" data-section-id=\"vw61f6\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1635\" data-start=\"1623\"\u003eRetinol:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, but it's generally best to alternate nights, especially if you're new to either product, to reduce the risk of irritation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1890\" data-start=\"1764\" data-section-id=\"io49ps\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1780\" data-start=\"1766\"\u003eVitamin C:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
