THE ORDINARY The Sustainable Edit Mandelic Acid 10% + HA

Glycerin Hyaluronic Acid Mandelic Acid

Mandelic Acid is water-soluble alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that offers superficial exfoliation. It does so by targeting the outermost layer of the skin and promoting its shedding to enhance overall radiance. This 10% formulation offers mild exfoliation for visible clarity. The molecular weight of Mandelic Acid is 152.1 daltons which is larger than other alpha hydroxy acids, such as Glycolic Acid (Glycolic Acid is 76.0 daltons). This larger size gives Mandelic Acid a lower penetration rate, making it a great option for first-time users.

• Apply once per day, ideally in the PM. Can be diluted with other treatments to reduce strength until skin develops tolerance. Avoid contact with eyes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician. Use only as directed. Contact of the product with the skin must be of limited frequency or duration.
• Caution: This product contains a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.
