This gentle alpha hydroxy acid is not only the best pick for deeper skin tones, but it also brightens, smooths, and clears all complexions.
Mandelic acid is derived from bitter almonds. It’s an AHA that’s been mostly studied for use with acne.
Mandelic acid is also one of the best acid selections for those with darker complexions because it isn’t melanotoxic. In other words, it doesn’t kill melanocytes and won’t exacerbate discoloration. Instead, it will decrease the appearance of dark spots due to acne, sun exposure, or otherwise in all the right ways. “Mandelic acid peels are considered well-tolerated in patients of color with less risk of hyperpigmentation, photosensitivity, and scarring compared to other AHAs, like glycolic acid.”
