The Mandelic Acid Serum by Good Molecules is formulated with three gentle peeling agents and two sizes of hyaluronic acid that come together to exfoliate sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients

- Mild polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) boost the mandelic acid effects with additional brightening and hydrating benefits.
- Two sizes of hyaluronic acid salt enhance the hydrated, silky touch and help smooth out dry skin patches and fine lines.

Not good for sensitive, acne prone skin
I got this mandelic acid serum after doing research on AHA's that are good for acne prone sensitive skin because mandelic acid is supposed to be more gentle. Unfortunately it was not.

Broke me out
I wanted to like this, but im having the worst break out of my life after trying this. My face is very itchy, painfuk, and burns so bad too.
Strike out for sensitive acne prone skin
This mandelic acid burned when I put it on and was thick/sticky. It also gave me inflamed cystic acne on my chin/jaw line, along with pores on my cheek look huge. I was using Ordinary MA beforehand and never had these issues. Will revert back.
I was influenced on TiKTok..
This serum helped clear up my stubborn breakouts! I use it about 3 times a week and absolutely love the results!
Potent
Switched from Salicylic Acid and glad i did. Clears up my hormonal acne breakouts really efficienty. My skin barrier was a little compromised when i first used it so it hasnt been sonething i can use for every day like the label states just yet.
Does the trick
I have very sensitive, dry, acne prone skin and this has helped me a lot. Most exfoliaters have been too harsh, and honestly this is too much to use as directed, but I've had the best luck with applying for 5-10 minutes once or twice a week and then washing it off. Only helps a bit with dark spots, but is absolutely the best way to get rid of dead skin and keep clear pores.
