Highlights
Summary
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
- Mandelic acid—known as the mildest alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) because of its larger molecule size—resurfaces skin without discomfort.
- 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.

HOLYGRAIL
One of the best things that has happend for my skin. I have extremely acne prone and very reactive skin but struggle with dullness and clogged pores. This stuff brightens my face and makes my face smooth as ever. Need to try asap!!
Amazing, 10/10!
I have been using Mandelic acid for a long time. I was originally using the Sofie pavitt one. Due to the cost, I decided to give this one a try. So far I am loving it! Budget friendly and totally works. Definitely a great dupe
It's Alright
Honestly, haven't really seen any changes with the mandelic acid. This is a nice and affordable option however I've been using it for almost a month now, and no real changes or benefits to my skin.
Be careful!
I feel a bruning sensation every time I apply this (which is once a week) and after it I apply my night moisturizer and it starts peeling. I dont know if thats how it works but i dont like it!
it works!!!!
I had terrible fungal acne on my chin. No mstter what I tried it wouldnt go away for years. I even went to the dermatologist and the tretonin they prescribed me didnt help. The mandelic serum was the only thing that cleared up my acne and I no longer get any more ob my chin. Now im working on getting rid of the acne scars left behind.

Is this synthetic mandelic acid or is it derived from almonds? I am allergic to nuts, but I can use synthetic mandelic acid.
- Asked by Mskin
- Official Answer By Good Molecules - Brand EngageOur Mandelic Acid is synthetic and not sourced from almonds, but like any Mandelic Acid, it may contain traces of Benzaldehyde, which is also found in almonds. So if you've used any other mandelic acid products and had no problems, ours will be safe for you as well!Was this answer helpful to you

- Asked by Dana
- Official Answer By Good Molecules - Brand EngageOur products do not have an expiry date, but feature an period after opening symbol (PAO). This can be found on the back of the bottle. It looks like an open jar with the number of months the product is good to use after opening. That said, the general expiration time frame for unopened skin care products is 30 months.Was this answer helpful to you
