Glow & Glee Salicylic 2% + Mandelic Acid Serum 30ml — Dual-Acid Clarity for Acne-Prone Skin
The Glow & Glee Salicylic 2% + Mandelic Acid Serum (30ml) harnesses the complementary power of two exfoliating acids: Salicylic Acid (a BHA) to penetrate and clear pores from within, and Mandelic Acid (an AHA) to gently resurface skin's texture and fade post-acne dark spots from the surface. Together they target active breakouts, congestion, and uneven tone without the harshness of single-acid formulas.

Key Ingredients
- Salicylic Acid 2% (BHA): Oil-soluble acid that penetrates pore linings to dissolve excess sebum, reduce congestion, and prevent new breakouts.
- Mandelic Acid (AHA): Larger molecular weight than glycolic acid — gentler on skin while still resurfacing texture and fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Centella Asiatica Extract: Calms post-breakout inflammation and supports skin healing.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: Maintains hydration balance during active exfoliation so skin does not feel stripped.
- Bisabolol: Derived from chamomile — soothes redness and irritation associated with acne-prone skin.
How to Use
- Apply to clean, dry skin.
- Use fingertips to spread a thin layer evenly across the face, avoiding the eye area.
- For targeted spot treatment, apply a small amount directly onto active blemishes.
- Allow to absorb before applying moisturiser.
- Use morning and evening. Always apply SPF50+ sunscreen in the morning — AHAs increase photosensitivity.
- Start with once daily if new to acid serums; increase frequency as skin adjusts.
Why Dual Acids?
Salicylic Acid works inside the pore (lipophilic/oil-soluble); Mandelic Acid works on the skin surface (hydrophilic/water-soluble). Using both in one serum means you are addressing acne at two levels simultaneously — preventing new congestion while clearing existing post-acne marks — without needing separate products.

How To Use
1. Start with clean, dry skin.
2. Apply a thin, even layer across the face using fingertips, avoiding the eye area.
3. For active spots, apply an extra amount directly onto the blemish.
4. Allow to absorb fully before layering moisturiser.
5. Always apply SPF50+ sunscreen in the morning — AHAs increase photosensitivity.
6. If new to acid serums, start once daily and build to twice daily as skin adjusts.
Tip: If using additional exfoliants or retinol in your routine, do not combine in the same application — alternate morning/evening.
FAQs
What is the difference between Salicylic Acid and Mandelic Acid?
Salicylic Acid (BHA) is oil-soluble and works inside the pore to clear sebum and prevent congestion. Mandelic Acid (AHA) is water-soluble and works on the skin surface to exfoliate dead cells and fade hyperpigmentation. Both together give broader anti-acne and brightening coverage.
Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains active exfoliating acids, so those with very sensitive skin should patch test first and start with once-daily use. The Centella Asiatica and Bisabolol help buffer irritation.
Can I use this with retinol or other actives?
Avoid combining with retinol or other strong acids in the same application. Use the dual-acid serum in the morning and retinol at night, or alternate evenings.
How long before I see results on breakouts?
Active blemishes may show improvement within 1–2 weeks. Post-acne marks and overall texture improvement typically take 6–8 weeks of consistent use.
Must I use sunscreen with this serum?
Yes, mandatory. Mandelic Acid (AHA) increases UV sensitivity. Skipping SPF risks worsening the very pigmentation you are trying to treat.
