Mandelic Acid 20% AHA Alpha Hydroxy Peel Medical Strength Used For Rosacea, Cystic Acne, Blackheads, Pores, Whiteheads, Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, Age Spots, Sun Spots (2.0 fl. oz / 60 ml)

I purchased this 20% Mandelic Acid because it is the highest available on Amazon at the time of this review. I had been using another mandelic acid (also purchased on Amazon) that utilized 12% Mandelic acid, and even though this is only 8% stronger, it is much more effective.I use this on skin imperfections that arise from too much UV/Sun exposure, namely sun spots and minor wrinkles. As with any form of acid, this 20% Mandelic acid can chemically burn your skin if you use it too frequently, leave it on too long, or do not use a neutralizer. I utilize a neutralizer after 8 minutes of skin contact. Several days later the skin healthily peels a thin layer off and exposes the new fresh skin. Some people do not understand that this is the intended method and effect.I like that this does not have any fragrance, I'm a male and do not want to smell like flowers or cinnamon.This product is effective and priced competitively. I have been using it for several months now with positive results.I would recommend this to others.

Don't let the 20% fool you, this will be enough to peel your skin. You can prep the skin with light micro needling first and apply acid for a deeper peel. Don't apply too much! Just a light coat. Don't forget to neutralize the area with a water and baking soda mixture and rinse with cold water to stop the action. It'll take a few days depending on the area to start peeling off. If you do around the intimate area, be gentle or otherwise it'll be peeling for a while, it's itchy and uncomfortable!!! If your going to get a second peel wait at least a month for your skin to heal. Cell turnover occurs every 40 to 50 days depending on age. The older the longer it takes. This acid is perfect for ethnic skins because it doesn't encourage hyperpigmentation. I recommend!

It works

Good exfoliated

No me hizo nada

This product does work like a spa chemical peel. It’s great!

Caution! Especially for people of color: This applies unevenly. While certain areas get a medium to light peel, in other areas it gives deep peel and leaves burn marks making hyperpigmentation a lot worse. 6 WEEKS since 3 MIN peel and I am still burned, red, sore, and have dark 3" patches over face. Too embarrassed to go out now!

Idk why some people here say they are peeling. I have been using this for a month and nothing has happened. My face looks exactly the same.The peel smells very strong like alcohol, the experience is just as if I was rubbing alcohol from my medicine cabinet on my face. I tried to return it but won’t let me.I’ve used other peels thy show some reaction. I don’t feel confident with this.
