Clove Hill Mandelic Acid Serum 8%

Mandelic Acid Serum 8%

A moderate-strength exfoliating serum formulated with 8% L-Mandelic Acid to help improve breakouts, congestion, uneven texture, post-acne discoloration, and dullness.

Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a larger molecular size than many other exfoliating acids, allowing it to penetrate the skin more gradually. This makes it especially well suited for acne-prone skin and for those who benefit from effective exfoliation with a gentler approach.

With consistent use, Mandelic Acid Serum 8% helps keep pores clear, reduce the appearance of inflamed breakouts and blackheads, brighten uneven skin tone, and smooth the look and feel of the skin.

Key Ingredients

L-Mandelic Acid 8%
An alpha hydroxy acid derived from almonds that helps exfoliate dead skin cells, keep pores clear, and improve the appearance of acne, uneven tone, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than many other AHAs, allowing for slower penetration and a more gradual exfoliating effect.

Lactic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid that supports gentle exfoliation, smoother skin texture, and a brighter, more even-looking complexion. It also helps improve the appearance of discoloration and fine lines.

Sodium Hyaluronate
A moisture-binding form of hyaluronic acid that helps attract and retain hydration, supporting softer, smoother, and more supple skin.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Helps support the skin barrier, improve moisture retention, and smooth the appearance of rough or uneven skin. Niacinamide also helps support a more balanced and even-looking complexion.

Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract
Witch hazel extract provides astringent and soothing properties that can help improve the appearance of oily, congested, and blemish-prone skin.

Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract
Licorice root extract helps soothe the skin and improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and post-breakout discoloration, supporting a brighter and more even complexion.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
Green tea extract provides antioxidant and soothing benefits that help protect the skin from environmental stressors while calming the appearance of redness and irritation.
