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.
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.
