Paula’s Choice 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Exfoliant, Gentle Daily AHA Exfoliation for Discoloration, Bumpy Texture & Radiance, for Sensitive Skin, Fragrance-Free

This is the best mandelic acid product I’ve tried to date. Amazing for surface level texture, pore size and pigmentation. It’s a pretty gentle exfoliant so depending on how tolerant your skin is you could probably use it everyday without worrying about irritation. It gives the perfect subtle touch of exfoliation and my skin looks noticeably smoother and brighter after each use. This is the product I grab when i’m looking to exfoliate but don’t want to overdo it with other actives in my skincare routine.

I am a huge fan of Paula’s choice. I am 32 years old and this is the first year I have started with a skin routine and this brand was highly recommended. My skin has truly never looked better. I have received many compliments on my skin these past few months and I know it’s because of these products. I now feel more comfortable in my skin due to this exfoliator. I also use Paula’s choice vitamin c serum.

This stuff is incredible. I use it generously all over my face and let it sink in for at least an hour in the evening after cleaning my face before putting on moisturizer. Almost thru the first bottle I ordered in about 50 days and the results are better than any other single product I’ve tried. Skin is smoother, sunspots fading, old deep whiteheads have cleared up. I will use this product forever. It does make you a bit more sensitive to sun so I make sure to wash my face in the morning before going outside. Update: 11/11. The review above is accurate for the product when purchased from Paula’s Choice directly. The item I received from Amazon was opened last night and is counterfeit. There was no smell at all and had the consistency of water. Amazon did accept my return and refund my account which is correct thing to do. I will be buying directly from now on with this product.

I love this product. It’s helped to smooth out my skin, I really feel like it helps to retain moisture and brighten my complexion. I don’t use a cotton pad to apply, just my hands and then I smooth it in. This works best and I use less.

Paula's Choice makes great products. This one has an unpleasant odor.

I’m honestly amazed this has been working. I have tired everything to lighten my acne scars and nothing has helped. The only other thing that has helped has been glycolic acid but it really didn’t lighten them. This mandelic acid has also decreased my bumps!

Super tiny bottle—travel size! Pictures reflect and price reflect a larger size in my opinion.

I LOVE this product! It removes dead skin leaving my face bright and smooth for days!

Wow the smell - give me this in a perfume bottle. It’s a milky sweet smell. In terms of the product it’s gentle but effective. I prefer it to the other exfoliant. It’s suitable for my red sensitive skin.

This product definitely worked for me my skin is smoother and less irritated. For reference I have a dark complexion.

Yes, this works really well in lightening the blemishes

Not very visible results May be due to inconsistency

Affordable and great range of products, not harsh on the skin but very effective
