Mandelic and glycolic acids for sensitive skin
Using mandelic acid is considered an effective and gentle option for exfoliating the skin and improving its appearance, especially for sensitive skin prone to redness. It reduces skin irritation because of its larger molecular size compared to glycolic acid, allowing for slower absorption and decreasing the sensation of tingling and redness. It helps to soften the skin, even out skin tone, and reduce acne and dark spots, with antibacterial properties. It is recommended to start with a concentration of 5-10%, once or twice a week. With consistent use, visible results typically appear within two to four weeks. It is essential to maintain moisturizing routines and use sun protection. Sometimes, it is considered a safer alternative for sensitive skin compared to stronger acids. However, overuse may lead to adverse effects.
