As we step into peel season, it’s essential to consider how you’ll maintain and enhance the glowing results from your treatments. One of the most effective ways to do this is by incorporating the right at-home products into your skincare routine. Enter Face Reality’s L-Mandelic Serums, a must-have for anyone looking to achieve clearer, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
What is L-Mandelic Acid, and Why Does Your Skin Need It?
L-Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. It’s renowned for its gentle yet effective exfoliating properties, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Unlike some other AHAs, mandelic acid has a larger molecular structure, which allows it to penetrate the skin more slowly and evenly, reducing the risk of irritation.
Here’s what makes L-Mandelic acid stand out:
- Exfoliation: It helps remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and more even skin texture.
- Brightening: L-Mandelic acid is excellent for addressing hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
- Anti-Aging: Regular use of L-Mandelic acid can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a firmer, more youthful look.
- Acne-Fighting: It’s also antibacterial, making it a great option for those dealing with acne or breakouts.
The Face Reality L-Mandelic Serum Collection: Which One is Right for You?
Face Reality offers L-Mandelic serums in four different strengths: 5%, 8%, 11%, and 15%. Each percentage is designed to cater to different skin needs and tolerance levels, making it essential to consult with an esthetician to determine which one is right for you.
5% L-Mandelic Serum
- Best For: Sensitive skin or those new to exfoliating acids.
- Benefits: Gentle exfoliation that gradually introduces your skin to mandelic acid. Ideal for maintaining skin clarity and smoothness with minimal risk of irritation.
8% L-Mandelic Serum
- Best For: Combination to oily skin types or those with mild hyperpigmentation.

11% L-Mandelic Serum
- Best For: Normal to oily skin or those looking to combat more stubborn hyperpigmentation and acne.

15% L-Mandelic Serum

How to Use Face Reality L-Mandelic Serums
To get the most out of your Face Reality L-Mandelic Serum, follow these tips:
- Start Slow: If you’re new to mandelic acid, start with the lowest concentration and use it every other night to let your skin adjust.
- Apply Evenly: After cleansing, apply a few drops of the serum to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
- Follow with Moisturizer: Seal in the serum with a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
- Sun Protection is Key: Always wear sunscreen during the day, especially when using exfoliating acids, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
Why Consult with an Esthetician?
While L-Mandelic acid is generally well-tolerated, using the correct concentration for your skin type and concerns is crucial. An esthetician can help you choose the right serum, ensuring you get the best results without irritation. They can also guide you on how to incorporate it into your existing skincare routine and adjust your regimen as your skin evolves.
