I gave been eyeing AHA containing products for a fairly long time but never purchased one because I am afraid of purging and what if it ruined all the progress I have made with my skin
On the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) scale mandelic acid falls on the milder side. Compared to glycolic acid and lactic acid, this is the gentlest. Mandelic acid has the largest molecules within the AHA family so it foes not penetrate deep into the skin layers. This quality makes Mandelic Acid the perfect choice of AHA for sensitive skin.
Packaging:A pretty green vial is enclosed in a clean white cardboard box. I really love how they have clearly stated the directions in English and mandarin
The green vial is made out of glass and has a dropper to dispense the product. I have noticed that are marking on the side of vial which helps one to keep track of usage.
One thing which bothered me slightly is the vial does not comes with a stopper (so if the vial is tilted accidently the essence will spill )
Directions to use
Wash the skin with cleanser. pat it dry and follow it up with AHA essence. Unlike many other AHA's this does not requires to be washed off after 15mins. In fact you can leave it on your face and follow up with rest of skincare routine
About the product:
This has a an oily texture. I take about 5 drops of this and apply it all over my face avoiding the eye area. Since AHA loosen and remove dead skin cells (exfoliates) I prefer using this 2 times a week at night.
I haven't noticed any kind of irritation or burning sensation after using this product for three weeks
Result:
Though the mandelic acid makes my skin a little dry (the next morning). My skin feels visibly brighter and clear. This has seriously reduced the hyper pigmentation on my skin.
It has also reduced the pigmentation of my acne scars
I am very please with my very first AHA product and would definitely repurchase again from this brand in future
you can purchase this here and on Amazon
