The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is a gentle exfoliating serum that helps smooth skin texture, brighten dullness, and improve uneven tone, without the irritation that often comes with stronger acids. Mandelic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that enters the skin more slowly and gently because of its larger molecular size. Because of this, it is particularly appropriate for people with sensitive skin or those who are unfamiliar with chemical exfoliants.

Hyaluronic acid helps this water-based, lightweight formula stay hydrated and comfortable while exfoliating. Over time, it unclogs pores, eliminates dead skin cells, and makes the skin appear smoother, more radiant, and younger. This serum is easy to incorporate into your nightly skincare routine and provides a gentle yet effective solution for dullness, rough texture, or early aging symptoms.
