Mandelic Acid 10% + HA

A gentle 10% mandelic acid exfoliant with hyaluronic acid that balances tone and refines texture with slow, even release.

The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid serum that helps improve the look of skin clarity by balancing uneven skin tone and correcting the look and feel of skin texture in a gentle, yet effective manner. Because mandelic acid has a larger molecular weight than other AHAs, it results in a slower, more balanced distribution across the skin, at a formula pH of 3.5–4.5, paired with hyaluronic acid for hydration.
