The Inkey List Mandelic Acid treatment 15ml

Share information about your product.

The INKEY List Mandelic Acid Treatment pairs 10% mandelic acid with 0.1% retinol — an unusual combination that works because mandelic acid has an unusually large molecule, penetrating slowly enough to suit sensitive skin. Aimed squarely at post-acne marks and hyperpigmentation.

🎯 What It Does

• Fades post-acne marks — targets the discolouration blemishes leave behind
• Reduces hyperpigmentation — mandelic acid has proven melanin-inhibiting benefits
• Encourages cell turnover — 0.1% retinol speeds the fading of dark spots
• Exfoliates gently — the large molecule size suits sensitive skin better than glycolic acid
• Hydrates alongside — glycerin prevents the dryness acids usually cause
• Works on discolouration broadly — dark spots, uneven tone and acne scarring

🔬 Key Ingredients

• Mandelic Acid 10% — an AHA derived from bitter almonds, with a large molecule size for gentler action
• Retinol 0.1% — increases natural cell turnover to fade discolouration
• Glycerin — deeply hydrates and draws in moisture

📋 How to Use

1. Use in the evening only.
2. After cleansing and hydrating serum, pat a thin layer into affected areas.
3. Follow with your serums and moisturiser.
4. Always use SPF in the morning — this treatment increases sun sensitivity.

Contains retinol. Do not use alongside other retinoid products. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding. Derived from bitter almonds — consider carefully if you have a nut allergy.
