Products with Mandelic Acid (AHA)

Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a larger molecule than other AHAs like glycolic acid. This results in a gentler, slower exfoliating action, making it one of the most tolerated chemical exfoliants—even for sensitive skin. Our catalog features 72 products with mandelic acid from brands such as Lancôme, Gyada Cosmetics, Bielenda, Filorga, and Rilastil, available as exfoliants, peels, serums, toners, creams, and face masks.

Mandelic acid is ideal for those seeking gentle exfoliation, especially if you have sensitive or irritation-prone skin. Choose from different textures (serum, toner, cream) based on your skin type and preferences. We recommend introducing it gradually into your routine and always using sunscreen during the day, as AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.
