The Pizza Company Skin Perfecting 6% Mandelic Acid
What it is
This is a skincare product formulated with 6% mandelic acid. Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. It is known for its larger molecular size compared to other AHAs, which allows for a gentler exfoliation process. This product aims to improve skin texture and tone.
How people cook with it
This product is applied directly to the skin as part of a skincare routine.
- Evening skin tone
- Smoothing skin texture
- Gentle exfoliation
- Improving clarity
After cleansing your face, apply a small amount of the product to a cotton pad. Gently sweep the cotton pad across your face, avoiding the eye area. Allow the product to absorb into the skin before applying any other serums or moisturizers. It is typically used in the evening. Start by using it a few times a week and gradually increase frequency as your skin tolerates it. Always follow with sunscreen during the day.
How it differs from similar foods
Mandelic acid's larger molecule size makes it less likely to penetrate the skin as deeply or as quickly as smaller AHAs like glycolic acid. This results in a milder exfoliating action, making it a suitable option for those with sensitive skin or those new to chemical exfoliants.
Who it is for
This product is designed for individuals seeking to address concerns like uneven skin tone, rough texture, and dullness.
How to keep the rest
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or becoming contaminated. Keep it out of reach of children.
