The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA

Product Overview:

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) serum designed to provide effective surface exfoliation with minimal irritation. Mandelic acid, derived from bitter almonds, has a larger molecular weight than other AHAs, which allows it to penetrate the skin more slowly—making it ideal for sensitive skin types. This serum helps improve uneven texture, dull tone, and fine lines while hyaluronic acid delivers hydration and supports skin barrier function.

Key Ingredients:

• Mandelic Acid (10%) – A mild AHA that exfoliates the skin’s surface to enhance brightness, smoothness, and clarity.

• Hyaluronic Acid – Attracts and retains moisture to help hydrate and soothe skin during exfoliation.

• Tasmannia Lanceolata Fruit/Leaf Extract – Known for its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, helping to reduce irritation.
