Frequently Asked Questions
Mandelic acid is a gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. Dr. Wu selected it for this serum because it has a larger molecular structure than glycolic acid, allowing it to penetrate skin more slowly and evenly. This makes it ideal for daily use and suitable for sensitive skin types, while still effectively promoting cellular renewal and improving skin texture.
Yes, mandelic acid is gentler than other common AHAs, making this serum suitable for sensitive skin when used as directed. However, if you have very reactive skin or active inflammation, we recommend starting with 2-3 times per week and gradually increasing frequency. Always patch test first and discontinue if irritation occurs. Avoid use if you have open wounds or severe sensitivity.
Mandelic acid pairs well with most skincare ingredients, but spacing is important. If combining with vitamin C, apply them at different times of day (serum in the morning, vitamin C at night, or vice versa) to avoid over-exfoliation. Retinol can be used on alternate nights. Always introduce one active ingredient at a time and monitor your skin's response.
