Precautions for choosing the concentration of mandelic acid

Mandelic acid can be used on human skin to make the skin better. So what is the concentration of mandelic acid to choose? What are the precautions for using mandelic acid?

Selection of concentration of mandelic acid

Come on, let’s take a look at the different concentrations of mandelic acid:

6% concentration is the lowest and most gentle and can be used daily. It is suitable for sensitive skin, skin with acne and closed comedones that are not too serious, or it can be used in combination with other concentrations as a consolidation.

There is not much difference between 10% and 18%. It is suitable for people with normal skin stratum corneum and no allergies. 10% can be used every night, and 18% is recommended to be used once every 2 days, also at night.

20% has the strongest effect

Precautions for use of mandelic acid

1.6% mandelic acid is suitable for daily use, but remember to use sunscreen after use!

2. Avoid the area around eyes and lips when using. It can be used alone at night, but sun protection must be strengthened when used during the day.

3. Your face may feel slight stinging, redness, tightness, and dryness, which are all normal. You must strengthen moisturizing in the morning and evening, and use essence that can repair the sebum film.

4. During the fruit acid peel period, do not use exfoliating and cleansing masks. Excessive cleansing will burden the skin. Don't squeeze blackheads, let them metabolize on their own.

5. Mandelic acid is also safe to use during pregnancy. DR.WU Mandelic Acid is quite mild, but those with sensitive or thin skin are advised not to try the 18% one. You can try the 6% one first.

6. For subsequent maintenance, it is recommended to use a mild essence with moisturizing and repairing effects. You can consider using HABA's classic squalane oil for repair. Don't choose whitening essence, because whitening essence is relatively dry and irritating.

This is the end of the introduction to the concentration selection of mandelic acid. Please pay attention to the precautions for use.
