Can mandelic acid be used every day?

Mandelic acid can be used every day, but the use of mandelic acid mainly depends on the tolerance of your skin. If you really need to use it every day, it is recommended to use products with a lower concentration of mandelic acid. If the concentration is higher, it can be used once every three or four days.

Concentration of mandelic acid

Low concentration 3%-10%: It promotes the shedding of aging stratum corneum. It is gentle and suitable for all skin types, but the improvement effect is less significant for acne and serious skin problems.

Medium concentration 10%-20%: accelerates the renewal of keratin and a small number of upper epidermal cells. It is also closer to the pH value of the skin and can improve the entire face or key local problems.

Medium to high concentration above 30%: Enhances the promotion of new cell generation, is fast and relatively stimulating, and focuses on strengthening severe skin problems. However, it is not suitable for all skin conditions. It is more commonly used in medical beauty treatments and is not recommended for use in home skin care products.
