Gentle AHA Exfoliator | Acne & Hyperpigmentation | 99% Purity
Unlock a smoother, brighter complexion with our high-purity (99%) DL-Mandelic Acid Powder. Derived from bitter almonds, Mandelic Acid is an aromatic Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) known for being the "gentle giant" of chemical exfoliants.
With a larger molecular structure compared to glycolic or lactic acid, it penetrates the skin more slowly and evenly, making it an ideal choice for sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and deeper skin tones looking to reduce hyperpigmentation without harsh irritation.
Key Benefits:
Gentle Exfoliation: Effectively loosens dead skin cell bonds to reveal smoother, brighter skin with minimal irritation.
Fades Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation: Highly effective at treating sun spots, melasma, and post-acne marks.
Antibacterial & Acne Fighting: Possesses strong antimicrobial properties, reducing acne-causing bacteria, controlling sebum, and unclogging pores.
Anti-Aging: Stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Versatile Use: Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin.

As of August 29, 2025, there is a 35% tariff or duty charge imposed on all goods coming into the U.S. from Canada. The United States mandates that all packages entering the U.S. from Canada must have their duties prepaid (settled upfront).
Our "USA only" pricing incorporates the necessary duty and processing fee calculated separately for each item. The advantage is that we charge the exact duty for each item and use the most economical shipping rates for orders bound for the U.S. Consequently, our prices are more budget-friendly compared to the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping option, where you might pay a lower item price but face exorbitant shipping costs, as the estimation for duty and duty processing fees is included in the shipping charges. In the DDP scenario, shipping companies rely on a general estimate for duties which can exceed the true amount, as they do not possess the exact information for each unique item.
