More About Mandelic Acid
Mandelic acid is described as a gentle AHA, so it may be suitable for people with sensitive skin or those who find other chemical exfoliants too strong for their skin.
In comparison with other AHAs, mandelic acid is a large molecule, about twice the size of glycolic acid, allowing it to absorb into skin more slowly, uniformly, and superficially.
Since mandelic acid penetrates the skin much more slowly it is less likely to cause irritation — even for those with sensitive skin and deeper skin tones. It also stays on the surface of skin longer.
Mandelic acid is one of the best acid selections for those with darker complexions because it isn’t melanotoxic. In other words, it doesn’t kill melanocytes and won’t exacerbate discoloration. Instead, it will decrease the appearance of dark spots due to acne, sun exposure, or otherwise in all the right ways.
Mandelic acid peels are considered well-tolerated in patients of color with less risk of hyperpigmentation, photosensitivity, and scarring compared to other AHAs, like glycolic acid.
Despite its larger particle size, mandelic acid also delves deeper into skin than other AHAs because it’s oil-soluble. Glycolic and lactic acids, on the other hand, are water-soluble, so they only work on the top layers of skin.
