Mandelic Topical Acid 12% 1 oz
$15.20
Naturium's leave-on acid is 12% mandelic in a 1 oz bottle, with niacinamide and fruit acids also named. The page says a few times a week on clean skin, then a moisturizer, and it lists sensitive, dry, acne-prone, and combination skin. Twelve percent is the highest labeled mandelic strength in this group. A few nights a week is the pace they printed, which is worth following before you make it a daily step.
