Product details

The INKEY List Mandelic Acid Treatment is a powerful yet exceptionally gentle overnight formula designed to target stubborn hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, and dark spots. Formulated specifically for skin prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, this lightweight treatment helps fade post-acne marks without causing irritation.

By pairing a larger-molecule alpha hydroxy acid with low-dose retinol, it accelerates cell renewal on the skin surface while maintaining hydration. This fragrance-free formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive Indian skin types prone to redness or irritation from stronger exfoliating acids.

It integrates into your nighttime routine to reveal a brighter, clearer, and more evenly toned complexion over time.

  1. Use exclusively in your PM skincare routine.
  2. After cleansing and applying a hydrating serum like Hyaluronic Acid, gently pat a thin layer of the Mandelic Acid Treatment directly onto the affected areas or across the entire face.
  3. Follow with your favorite nighttime moisturizer.
  4. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, as alpha hydroxy acids and retinol can increase sun sensitivity.

    Appears to be Working!

    In the last year, I have noticed a few smaller spots of hyperpigmentation on my face so I have been eager to try mandelic acid. It seems after a few weeks if use, I'm seeing a bit of fading of the spots. The Inkey List is a brand that I trust and have used other products from them before and I'm quite pleased with how nicely this treatment has been on my sensitive skin. it has a nice smooth texture going on and dries down fairly quickly. I've not experienced an irritation and there is not really discernible smell. I would definitely get this mandelic acid treatment again.

    Great skincare product…

    This lightweight gel feel formula is made to help balance out skin pigmentation using light exfoliation with its ingredients. It has worked really well on some areas I was targeting. This is a nighttime treatment option that is easy to use and very gentle on my sensitive skin. No strong scent or oily residue. This is a great product and I'm happy with its results.

    Finally an acid that doesn't over-strip my skin

    I used to avoid exfoliating acids because my cheeks would feel tight and irritated. This one changed that. Mandelic acid is more gentle compared to other AHAs, and I can feel the difference. My skin feels smoother the next morning, but not dry. It helps with texture and uneven tone without making my skin feel compromised. It's become part of my nighttime routine whenever my skin feels dull or congested.

    Great for discoloration

    I'm so glad I took a chance on this product. I have a couple brown/discolored spots on my face from stress hives that healed and left a mark. Nothing I've tried, including a professional hydrofacial and at-home microneedling, did anything for them. Until I tried this…I apply a thin layer to my face, primarily on the areas with discolored spots, and I noticed a difference by day 3. It has been a month and while it hasn't completely evened out my skin tone, it has helped a lot. It's a good value for the cost for sure.

FAQs

What does the inkey list mandelic acid do?

This targeted treatment exfoliates the skin surface to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and post-acne marks. It combines gentle mandelic acid with encapsulated retinol to accelerate surface cell turnover for a brighter complexion.

Is mandelic acid safe for all skin types?

Yes, mandelic acid has a larger molecular size compared to other AHAs like glycolic acid, meaning it penetrates the skin more slowly. This makes it significantly gentler and highly suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, or darker skin tones.

Does mandelic acid fade dark marks?

Yes, it is highly effective at fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and sun spots. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells to encourage dark, discolored cells to shed naturally.
