Description
Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid serum that helps improve skin clarity, balance uneven skin tone, and correct skin texture in a gentle, yet effective manner. This is because it has a larger molecular weight than other alpha hydroxy acids, which results in a slower, more balanced distribution.
