DL Mandelic Acid

Introduction
DL-Mandelic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds, known for its larger molecular size compared to other AHAs. This allows it to penetrate the skin more slowly, making it gentler and less irritating while still delivering effective exfoliation.
It is widely used in skincare products for skin renewal, acne control, and tone improvement, especially in formulations designed for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
