Mandelic Acid Serum 1 fl oz
$7.59
Good Molecules sells a 1 fl oz mandelic serum and tells you to use it up to four nights a week after cleansing. The bullets do not print a percentage. They also say to skip layering it with other AHAs, BHAs, or retinoids, and to wear SPF in the daytime. Fragrance-free is stated, which matters if scented acids have stung you before. Four nights is the ceiling on the label, not a suggestion to push past it.
