<p data-start="83" data-end="887">The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a gentle exfoliating facial treatment formulated to refine skin texture, improve clarity, and support a smoother, more even-looking complexion with consistent use. This serum is built around mandelic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid known for its larger molecular size compared to other AHAs, which allows it to penetrate the skin more slowly and evenly. This controlled penetration makes the formula particularly suitable for those who prefer a milder exfoliating experience or who are new to chemical exfoliants, while still delivering visible surface renewal benefits. The lightweight, water-based serum spreads easily across the skin and absorbs efficiently, providing exfoliation support without overwhelming the skin.The 10% concentration of mandelic acid is carefully selected to deliver effective surface exfoliation while maintaining comfort. By working primarily at the skin’s surface, the serum helps loosen dead skin cells that can contribute to dullness, uneven texture, and lack of radiance. Over time, this process supports smoother-looking skin and improved clarity without the aggressive feel often associated with stronger or faster-penetrating acids. Hyaluronic acid is included to help support hydration, ensuring that the exfoliating process does not leave the skin feeling tight or uncomfortable. This balance between exfoliation and hydration allows the serum to improve skin appearance while maintaining a comfortable skin feel.Designed for regular use as part of an evening skincare routine, this serum focuses on gradual, visible improvement rather than instant cosmetic effects. With continued application, the skin appears brighter, more even in tone, and refined in texture. The formulation integrates seamlessly into a wide range of skincare routines, layering well with hydrating serums and moisturizers. By combining gentle exfoliation with hydration support, this serum offers a balanced approach to improving skin texture and clarity while remaining suitable for all skin types, including those that prefer a more measured exfoliating solution.</p> <p data-start="2250" data-end="2740"><strong data-start="2250" data-end="2266">Key Features</strong><br data-start="2266" data-end="2269" /> This exfoliating serum is formulated with 10% mandelic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid with a larger molecular structure that allows for slower, more controlled skin penetration.
