Face Reality: 5% l-Mandelic Serum

This cult-favorite serum is powered by 5% L-Mandelic Acid, an alpha hydroxy acid known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties. Perfect for acne-prone skin, this serum helps to exfoliate gently, unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and fade hyperpigmentation—all without irritating or over-drying the skin.

Lightweight and non-comedogenic, it’s a go-to for both new and experienced Face Reality users, and safe for use on sensitive skin types and skin of color.

Best For:
✔ Non-inflamed + inflamed acne
✔ Dark spots and pigmentation
✔ Folliculitis
✔ Oily or combination skin

How to Use:
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once daily, gradually increasing to twice daily if tolerated. Always follow with a moisturizer and SPF during the day.

Pro Tip: Introduce slowly and pair with Face Reality’s Acne Med for a customized, clear-skin routine.
