Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is derived from bitter almonds. When found in skincare products, it is used to exfoliate the skin and treat a number of skin conditions.
Unlike other alpha hydroxy acids, mandelic acid’s molecules are larger than any other acids used in skincare. Because the molecules are larger, mandelic acid penetrates the skin at a slower rate, which makes it more gentle and less likely to cause irritation. Because mandelic acid is the most gentle of all the alpha hydroxy acids, it can be used for a wide range of skin types.
Mandelic acid targets three main concerns:
Acne
Commonly used in the treatment of acne, Mandelic acid has antibacterial properties that are immensely helpful in treating acne problems. Mandelic acid also helps to regulate sebum production, which in turn decreases the occurrence of skin breakouts.
Hyperpigmentation and Discoloration
Malesma is a commonly occurring skin condition in which light to dark brown or greyish pigmentation develops on the face. Use of mandelic acid has been shown to reduce melasma by as much as 50% in four weeks, helping to correct skin tone discoloration. Mandelic acid is especially helpful in the treatment of hyperpigmentation when compared to other alpha hydroxy acids, which can cause irritation and consequently stimulate pigment-producing cells.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Mandelic acid is anti-aging ingredient that works to accelerate cell turnover by dissolving the tiny bonds that hold skin cells together, which helps to remove dead skin on the surface that can lead to dull complexions and fine lines. Mandelic acid can also help to strengthen collagen, which is the protein responsible for skin elasticity. It also helps to boost skin hydration.
In the wonderful but vast world of skincare, it can be overwhelming trying to decide what products will work for you. Consider mandelic acid as your go-to ingredient if you’re wanting to improve discoloration or treat acne. Mandelic acid is gentle and recommended for all acne skin types.
Recommended Use: All Acne Types

I’ve used my fair share of exfoliating acid products in the past, and none of them compare to Cytoclear. This serum is lightweight, non-sticky, and EFFECTIVE. I was hooked my first night of use, but I am continually impressed by my results the more I use it. I use this every other day in my routine. I like that it doesn’t sting my skin even when I have an active breakout. I notice my skin is smoother and brighter each time I use Cytoclear, and I look forward to the days I can incorporate it!
This exfoliating serum is seriously the best I've tried, it works on wrinkles and acne! My skin is brighter more even tones after using it for just two weeks.
Works perfectly on my skin
I was really surprised at how fast-acting this product is. My skin was visibly clearer and scars appear much lighter in less than a week. Very happy with this product!
