Composition Analysis

Accelerates the metabolism of skin cells, has an exfoliating effect, helps reduce fine lines, and at the same time removes melanin deposited in stratum corneum cells, improves pigmentation, and has a whitening effect (can be used to lighten acne marks). However, the effect is slightly inferior to that of glycolic acid, because mandelic acid has a large molecular weight and weak permeability. Because of this, mandelic acid is less irritating to the skin and is also suitable for sensitive skin. In addition, mandelic acid can inhibit the activity of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Candida albicans and other bacteria, as an antibacterial agent. It should be noted that mandelic acid is photosensitizing and is recommended for evening care.

A fruit acid belonging to an alpha hydroxy acid with lipophilic properties. Compared with the common fruit acid-glycolic acid, mandelic acid has certain antibacterial ability. At the same time, compared with common glycolic acid and lactic acid, mandelic acid may have a slower penetration rate, which means that the irritation is less than that of glycolic acid. Its fat solubility is increased, and the ability of the stratum corneum to penetrate the skin is improved. Therefore, glycolic acid also has the function of dredging the oil in the pores and removing acne. Like glycolic acid and lactic acid, mandelic acid also has a certain whitening effect.
