After moisturizing, I go in with the Ordinary Mandelic Acid. I love Ordinary products. They are cruelty-free. They are budget-friendly. The Mandelic Acid targets textural irregularities, uneven skin tone, and fine lines and wrinkles. This leaves my skin feeling super hydrated and gives me a nice glow.

This mandelic acid is a great exfoliant for really sensitive skin. Due to its molecular weight, it penetrates the skin and is lower than other AHAs, that's why it can be gentler. It also has hyaluronic acid, so it can prevent dryness. It's helpful with acne and hyperpigmentation too.

If this, this, or this is too strong for you, try this. Mandelic acid provides more gentle exfoliation compared to these products, especially this one. You all know about it, I believe it's super viral, but I use it too sometimes. But mandelic acid's molecules are way bigger and they exfoliate slower. It gives you good results but works more gentle and it's more slow, but more safe. You can easily pair it with vitamin C or my favorite niacinamide, but don't mix it with other acids and retinols and retinoids.
