Beschreibung
M andelac is a line of products formulated with m andelic acid, especially recommended for skins that are intolerant to other alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs).
M andelic acid, also known as amygdalic acid or 2-phenylglyoxylic acid, is an AHA derived from the hydrolysis of bitter almond extract.
It is commonly used for the treatment of photoaged skin, irregular pigmentation, non-cystic inflammatory acne, and to prepare the skin before and after laser resurfacing.
This line of products is suitable for sensitive skins. The relatively large molecule size of m andelic acid slows down the penetration through the stratum corneum, without causing itching or irritation.
