Mid-Strength AHA Exfoliation for Clearer, More Even Skin

The Face Reality 8% L-Mandelic Serum is the sweet spot for those who have graduated from the 5% formula and are ready for more visible results. This chirally correct AHA serum delivers meaningful exfoliation while remaining gentle enough for most skin types — including those that can't tolerate glycolic acid. Expect smoother texture, reduced congestion, and a more even complexion with consistent use.

Key Benefits

  • Exfoliates more effectively than the 5% formula with minimal irritation
  • Improves skin tone, texture, and clarity
  • Helps clear noninflamed acne and prevent future breakouts
  • Antibacterial properties target acne-causing bacteria
  • Suitable for normal, oily, combination, and sensitive skin types

Key Ingredients

  • 8% L-Mandelic Acid (chirally correct) — mid-potency AHA for even, controlled exfoliation
  • L-Lactic Acid — hydrating AHA that complements mandelic acid for a balanced exfoliation

How to Use

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin in the evening. Use 2–3 nights per week, increasing frequency as your skin adjusts. Follow with moisturizer. Always wear SPF during the day. Step up from the 5% formula or step down from the 11% if you need a gentler option.

Recommended for: Normal, oily, combination, and sensitive skin prone to acne. Ideal mid-step in the mandelic serum progression.
