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.

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

Face Reality Mandelic Serum delivers professional-grade exfoliation and clarity while respecting even the most sensitive skin.
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.
Key Ingredients:
- Mandelic Acid: A gentle alpha hydroxy acid derived from bitter almonds that exfoliates dead skin cells, reduces acne, and brightens uneven tone while being well tolerated by sensitive skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: A hydrating molecule that binds moisture to the skin, keeping it plump, balanced, and comfortable.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Helps strengthen the skin barrier, even tone, and reduce visible redness.
- Lactic Acid: A mild exfoliant that improves texture, enhances cell turnover, and softens the appearance of fine lines.

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?
Yes. AHAs can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so daily SPF protection is essential.
Reveal the confidence of clear, glowing skin—Face Reality Mandelic Serum is your daily step toward balance and brightness.
