Face Reality 8% L-Mandelic Serum

$43.00

Balanced exfoliation for smoother texture and clearer pores — perfect for normal or acne-prone skin that can handle a little more action.

Why You’ll Love It

This serum gives your skin that perfect balance of results and restraint. The 8% L-Mandelic Serum helps unclog pores, smooth rough texture, and brighten uneven tone — all while keeping your barrier calm and hydrated.

Mandelic acid is one of the most universal exfoliants — gentle enough for sensitive skin, yet powerful enough to help reduce breakouts and discoloration. If your skin already tolerates active products well (or you’ve used exfoliants before), this is a great place to start.

It’s a go-to for consistent exfoliation that refines and resets the skin without the harsh side effects.

  • If your skin handles actives well or you’ve exfoliated before, start here. The 8% delivers balanced exfoliation and clarity while keeping your barrier happy. Once your skin builds consistency, you can explore stronger strengths with guidance from your HBB esthetician.

How to Use

After cleansing and toning, apply 1–2 pumps evenly to the face and neck. Use once daily or every other day, depending on tolerance. Follow with moisturizer — and SPF if used in the morning.

 

HBB Tip:

“This is our most-loved Mandelic — strong enough to make a real difference, gentle enough for regular use. It’s where most of our clear-skin clients begin their exfoliant journey.”
