Mandelic acid is the gentle one in AHA (Alpha Hydroxy acids). AHA’s have multiple benefits to skin. It does gentle exfoliation unlike physical exfoliants like Sugar/salt scrub. It helps in reducing fine lines, dark spots making skin look brighter and glowing. It is also considered as an anti-ageing ingredient. It is suitable to many skin types.

5% mandelic acid concentration makes this one effective to use weekly twice. Sunscreen is mandatory (to be used every day) since exfoliation increases the chance of sun exposure and tanning.
