11% Mandelic Serum
The Maximum-Strength Corrective to Shatter Resistant Acne and Deep Discoloration
When your skin requires the ultimate level of cellular renewal, step up to maximum strength. The Face Reality 11% L-Mandelic Serum is an advanced, high-potency alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) treatment engineered strictly for resilient skin types that have hit a plateau with lower strengths. This formulation maximizes the exfoliating and antibacterial power of L-Mandelic and L-Lactic acids to aggressively shatter tough surface buildup, flush out deeply impacted follicles, and sweep away the most stubborn hyperpigmentation. It is the ultimate weapon for achieving total clarity and a perfectly smooth, glassy complexion.
Why You’ll Love It
Ultimate Resurfacing & Clearing: The highest concentration of Mandelic acid available in the Face Reality lineup, specifically built to break through resistant, stubborn acne that won't budge.
Flushes Deep-Seated Congestion: Safely dissolves the structural bonds of dense, sticky dead skin cells, completely clearing out stubborn blackheads, whiteheads, and under-the-skin microcomedones.
Rapidly Lifts Deep Acne Scars: Aggressively targets and degrades intense post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), rapidly fading dark spots and evening out severe discoloration.
Maximum Antimicrobial Action: Delivers high-level defense against acne-causing bacteria, dramatically reducing inflamed lesions and preventing future flare-ups on acne-prone skin.
How It Feels
Texture: A light, fluid, water-based gel serum.
Absorption: Sinks into the skin within seconds, layering cleanly without any surface film.
Skin Feel: Instantly texturizes and tightens the surface of the skin. A noticeable, active clinical "tingle" or brief prickle is common upon application as the potent 11% acid matrix penetrates the skin. It leaves the skin feeling deeply purified, smooth, and entirely matte.
Key Ingredients
11% L-Mandelic Acid: A high-potency, larger-molecule AHA derived from bitter almonds that provides intensive, uniform cellular turnover and antibacterial action with less surface stress than glycolic acid.
L-Lactic Acid: A secondary AHA that assists in lifting stubborn hyperpigmentation while acting as a natural humectant to draw essential moisture into the skin layers.
Green Tea Extract: A soothing antioxidant powerhouse that keeps redness at bay, neutralizes environmental stress, and protects vulnerable skin structures.
Sodium Hyaluronate: A deeply hydrating form of Hyaluronic Acid that binds water directly into the skin cells to cushion the skin barrier against dryness.
How to Use
Shake well before use. After cleansing and toning, apply 1 pump of product evenly over the entire face (or targeted areas), avoiding the delicate eye area. Let it absorb completely for 1 to 2 minutes before applying your recommended hydrators, moisturizers, or evening active treatments.
Esthetician Tip (Strict Professional Protocol): This serum is strictly for advanced skin that has successfully acclimated to the 8% Mandelic Serum with zero dryness, flaking, or irritation. Introduce the 11% strength slowly—start with 2 to 3 nights a week, using your 8% formula on the other nights. Never skip moisturizer, and always apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day, as high-percentage AHAs significantly increase sun sensitivity.
