Distinct from the Mandelac Cream (a leave-on treatment), this is a concentrated serum for use as part of an active skincare routine — delivering deeper, faster exfoliation while remaining gentler on the skin than glycolic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Mandelic Acid?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMandelic Acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. At 20%, it is a potent AHA concentration. Its larger molecular size compared to glycolic acid means it penetrates skin more slowly, making it less irritating while still delivering meaningful exfoliation, brightening, and anti-acne results.

Gradually increase to once nightly. Once desired results are achieved, reduce to maintenance frequency or add to daily lotion. Always use SPF 30+ the following morning — AHAs significantly increase photosensitivity. Follow with an oil-free moisturiser to prevent dryness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Mandelac Serum Differs from Mandelac Cream\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Mandelac Serum is a higher-concentration, faster-acting liquid serum for active treatment phases. The Mandelac Cream is a lower-concentration leave-on cream suited for maintenance and sensitive skin.

The cream is a lower-concentration leave-on treatment suited for sensitive skin or long-term maintenance. Both are from Jenpharm and complement each other in a step-down routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 20% Mandelic Acid suitable for beginners?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMandelic Acid at 20% is potent but gentler than equivalent concentrations of glycolic acid. Beginners should start with every-other-night application and build up slowly. If stinging or excessive redness occurs, reduce frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need SPF with this serum?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — AHAs increase photosensitivity significantly. Daily SPF 30+ is essential when using Mandelac Serum. Skipping SPF will cause sun damage and undermine brightening results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this for melasma or pigmentation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — Mandelic Acid inhibits melanin synthesis, making it effective for post-acne marks, uneven tone, and mild pigmentation. For more pronounced melasma, consult a dermatologist for a prescription-strength treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mix it into my moisturiser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — Mandelac Serum can be added to your daily lotion for maintenance use after the initial treatment phase. This dilutes the concentration and maintains results with less risk of irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jenpharm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44461030637741,"sku":"DER000000559","price":1598.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/2015\/4541\/files\/mandelac-serum-sharp-white.png?v=1788181980","url":"https:\/\/derma.pk\/products\/mandelac-serum-30ml","provider":"Derma.pk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
