Face Reality L-Mandelic Serum: Exfoliate, Brighten, and Balance for Clearer Skin

Face Reality L-Mandelic Serum is a multitasking exfoliating serum designed to improve clarity, tone, and texture without irritation. Powered by mandelic acid, this gentle alpha hydroxy acid helps to clear clogged pores, smooth fine lines, and brighten discoloration while keeping the skin calm and balanced.

This advanced formula is ideal for acne-prone, combination, and sensitive skin types. Mandelic acid’s unique molecular structure allows for slower penetration, making it one of the most effective and tolerable exfoliants for those prone to redness or breakouts.

Use it regularly to refine your complexion, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and reveal a fresher, more even-looking glow.

Face Reality L-Mandelic Serum is a top choice among acne specialists for its ability to clarify and brighten without irritation. Its clinical blend of mandelic and lactic acids helps dissolve congestion, reduce breakouts, and refine pores, leaving your skin visibly smoother and clearer.

  • Available in 3 strengths: 5%, 8%, and 11% of Mandelic Acid
  • Professional-grade exfoliation with everyday comfort
  • Reduces acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Promotes smoother texture and balanced hydration
  • Safe for all skin tones and sensitive complexions

Achieve smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin with this dermatologist-developed treatment designed for visible results without compromise.

Benefits

All-in-one active serum to target breakouts, discoloration, and skin texture!

  • Gently exfoliates to clear congested pores
  • Helps fade post-acne marks and discoloration
  • Reduces breakouts and refines skin texture
  • Brightens dull, uneven skin tone
  • Minimizes fine lines and supports smoother skin

Face Reality Mandelic Serum delivers professional-grade exfoliation and clarity while respecting even the most sensitive skin.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin after cleansing and toning. Start with once-daily use, gradually increasing to twice daily as tolerated. Always follow with a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

Pro Tip: If you are new to mandelic acid, start with a lower concentration or use it a few times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Once your skin adjusts, you can move up to a higher strength.

FAQ

What skin types can use Face Reality Mandelic Serum?
This serum is suitable for all skin types, especially acne-prone, oily, and sensitive skin. Its gentle exfoliating action makes it ideal for those who can’t tolerate stronger acids.

Can I use Mandelic Serum with other Face Reality treatments?
Yes. It pairs well with HydraBalance Gel, ClearDerma Moisturizer, and Advanced Acne Med for a complete acne-fighting routine.

How often should I use Mandelic Serum?
Start with every other day, and increase to daily when your skin adjusts. Overuse can lead to dryness, so always listen to your skin.

Does Mandelic Serum cause purging?
Some users may experience mild purging as the serum accelerates cell turnover. This is temporary and part of the clearing process.

Should I wear sunscreen when using Mandelic Serum?
