Key Actives + Mechanism

1% Mandelic Acid — Why It's the AHA
That Works for Every Skin Type.

Key Active · AHA

Mandelic Acid

Mandelic Acid is derived from bitter almonds and is the largest-molecule AHA in common skincare use. Its large molecular size slows its rate of penetration into the skin significantly compared to Glycolic or Lactic Acid — making it the most skin-compatible, least irritating AHA available. This allows effective exfoliation without the redness, tingling, or sensitivity that other AHAs commonly cause.

Sensitive Skin

Safe for All Skin Types

Mandelic Acid's slow penetration rate makes the Radiant Serum uniquely appropriate for skin types that cannot tolerate stronger AHAs — including sensitive skin, rosacea-prone skin, reactive skin, and darker skin tones where AHA-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a concern. Effective exfoliation without the compromise of tolerability.

Exfoliation

Gentle Cell Turnover

Despite its gentleness, Mandelic Acid delivers genuine AHA exfoliation — loosening the bonds between dead skin cells and accelerating their removal from the skin surface. This controlled, gentle cell turnover reveals fresher skin cells beneath, smoothing rough texture, refining pores, and producing the silky smooth finish described in the product's positioning.

Brightening

Brightens + Evens Tone

As dead, dulling skin cells are gently removed and cell turnover is normalized, the skin's tone becomes more even and its natural reflectivity is restored. Mandelic Acid also has mild melanin-suppressing properties — making it particularly effective for brightening and reducing surface discoloration alongside its exfoliating action.

Anti-Acne

Prevents Dead Skin Buildup

Acne is significantly driven by the accumulation of dead skin cells that clog pores and create the anaerobic environment in which acne-causing bacteria thrive. By regularly clearing this dead cell buildup through gentle AHA exfoliation, the Radiant Serum helps prevent the congestion that leads to breakouts — without the irritation that harsher acne treatments can cause.

Anti-Aging

Reduces Fine Lines + Free Radical Defense

The cell renewal stimulated by Mandelic Acid supports collagen production over consistent use — reducing the visible appearance of fine lines and improving skin firmness. The formula's hydrating base and antioxidant activity also protect against the free radical damage that accelerates cellular aging and contributes to premature fine line formation.

What You'll Notice

What It Does

Smoother

Gentle Mandelic Acid exfoliation — skin feels silky smooth and texture visibly refined.

Brighter

Tone evened and radiance restored — dullness reduced with consistent use.

Clearer

Dead skin buildup prevented — fewer breakouts and less congestion over time.

How to Use

Directions for Application

Start 2–3 times per week at night. Increase gradually to daily use as tolerated.

1

Cleanse Thoroughly

Begin with clean skin. Apply the Radiant Serum after cleansing — direct contact between the Mandelic Acid and the skin surface maximizes its gentle exfoliation and brightening action.

2

Apply to Face, Neck, and Décolleté

Apply to the face, neck, and décolleté after cleansing. Use once per day, preferably at night. Start with 2–3 applications per week and slowly increase until it is part of your daily regimen — even for sensitive skin, the 1% Mandelic Acid concentration allows gradual daily adoption with minimal irritation risk.

3

Follow with Serums + Moisturizer

Follow with additional GlyMed Plus serums and moisturizer. The gentle exfoliation from Mandelic Acid slightly increases skin permeability — all products applied after will absorb more effectively, improving the performance of your full routine.

4

AM: Apply SPF

Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning. As with all AHAs, Mandelic Acid increases photosensitivity with regular use — though less so than Glycolic or Lactic Acid. Consistent daily SPF use protects freshly exfoliated skin and prevents UV-triggered pigmentation that can counteract the brightening results.
