Mandelic Brightening Serum

Gentle exfoliating serum for discoloration, congestion + uneven texture

This award-winning treatment serum uses 5% mandelic acid to gently exfoliate while improving the appearance of uneven tone, clarity and texture. Skin Script formulates it for all skin types, particularly concerns involving hyperpigmentation and acne. 

Best for: All skin types
Primary concerns: Hyperpigmentation • Dark spots • Acne • Congestion • Uneven tone & texture

Key Benefits: Gently exfoliates and refines texture, helps brighten the appearance of discoloration and uneven tone, and supports a smoother, clearer-looking complexion. The formula also contains niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate and potassium azeloyl diglycinate. 

Esthetician Note: This is one I especially like for the Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation collection because it gives us a treatment option that addresses both discoloration and breakout-prone skin. Mandelic acid is also a great ingredient to introduce when someone wants exfoliation but doesn’t necessarily need an aggressive routine.

How to Use: Shake well. After cleansing and toning, apply to the face, neck and chest 2–3 times per week, or as directed. Skin Script instructs users to apply SPF in the morning while using this product.
