Mandelic Acid 10% + Hyaluronic Acid serum
$7.80
The Ordinary's serum is 10% mandelic acid plus hyaluronic acid in a 1 fl oz bottle. The page calls it a water-based AHA and says to apply it once in the evening, then use sunscreen the next day. Tasmanian pepperberry is in the formula as an anti-irritant. A 1 fl oz bottle goes quickly if you cover the whole face every night, so a few nights a week stretches it.
