Can I use this if I have rosacea or very sensitive skin?

Yes, mandelic acid is the gentlest AHA available and is often well-tolerated by those with rosacea or sensitive skin. However, always patch test first and start with the lowest recommended frequency.

How long before I see results?

You may notice smoother, brighter skin within 2-3 weeks of consistent use. More significant improvements in texture and tone typically appear after 6-8 weeks of regular application.

Can I use this during summer in Indiana?

Yes, mandelic acid is gentler than other AHAs and can be used year-round with proper sun protection. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ during the day when using any exfoliating acid.

How is this different from over-the-counter mandelic acid products?

About P Serum + Mandelic Acid (MAN)

Universkin's P Serum + Mandelic Acid (MAN) delivers the skin-refining benefits of alpha hydroxy acids in a gentle, customizable formulation perfect for sensitive skin types. Mandelic acid, derived from bitter almonds, features the largest molecular size among AHAs, allowing for slower, more controlled penetration that minimizes irritation while effectively promoting cellular turnover. This custom serum is precisely formulated based on your individual SkinIQ analysis, ensuring optimal concentration for your specific skin needs and tolerance level. The gradual exfoliation process helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a more even skin tone without the harsh side effects often associated with glycolic or lactic acids. Mandelic acid's antibacterial properties also make it beneficial for acne-prone skin, while its gentle nature allows for year-round use, even during Indiana's harsh winter months when skin tends to be more reactive.

How to Use

Apply 2-3 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening only. Start with every third night for the first week, gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Always follow with a moisturizer and use SPF 30+ during the day. Avoid concurrent use with other active ingredients like retinoids unless directed by your RELUXE clinician.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

This gentle AHA is perfect for preparing sensitive skin before stronger treatments like Morpheus8 or chemical peels. Use consistently for 4-6 weeks before your treatment to improve skin tolerance and enhance results.
