DUAL-ACTION AHA EXFOLIATION: Features a unique blend of 6% mandelic acid, an AHA with a larger molecular size for gentler exfoliation, and 2% lactic acid to efficiently loosen and remove dead skin cells. This combination offers powerful resurfacing benefits while minimizing the risk of irritation, making it ideal for those struggling with discoloration, uneven tone, and bumpy texture.
TIME-RELEASED LACTIC ACID TECHNOLOGY: Employs advanced encapsulation and delivery systems to gradually release lactic acid over time, providing the efficacy of a conventional 10% AHA without the associated risk of redness or stinging. This ensures a gentle yet effective exfoliation that helps diminish fine lines, sun damage, and visible signs of aging while supporting the skin’s natural renewal process.
ANTIOXIDANT MICROBIOME SUPPORT: Enriched with yarrow extract and a fermented antioxidant complex derived from cherry blossom, chocolate vine, and yumberry, this formula enhances the skin’s microbiome, fortifies its barrier function, and protects against external stressors. The multi-layered support ensures healthier, more resilient skin over time.
CONSISTENT RESULTS ACROSS ALL SKIN TYPES: Specially formulated to deliver visible radiance and smoother texture for sensitive, dry, normal, oily, or combination skin, this exfoliant is gentle enough for daily use. Regular application results in a brighter, more even complexion, reduced roughness, and a healthy, luminous glow.
Paula’s Choice Skincare makes products that work. No fragrance, no fluff. Just effective, science-backed formulas that target any concern from wrinkles to breakouts.

Gentle Exfoliation Done Right
This is the best mandelic acid product I’ve tried to date. Amazing for surface level texture, pore size and pigmentation.It’s a pretty gentle exfoliant so depending on how tolerant your skin is you could probably use it everyday without worrying about irritation.It gives the perfect subtle touch of exfoliation and my skin looks noticeably smoother and brighter after each use.This is the product I grab when i’m looking to exfoliate but don’t want to overdo it with other actives in my skincare routine.

Its a good buy – especially for sensitive skin
Works great for my sensitive skin . The dark gray is good but can be tooo strong. I use this one once or twice a week and the dark gray one once a month. My skin have been looking sooo good. But im not where i want to be yet.

Best single product I’ve ever used
This stuff is incredible. I use it generously all over my face and let it sink in for at least an hour in the evening after cleaning my face before putting on moisturizer. Almost thru the first bottle I ordered in about 50 days and the results are better than any other single product I’ve tried. Skin is smoother, sunspots fading, old deep whiteheads have cleared up. I will use this product forever. It does make you a bit more sensitive to sun so I make sure to wash my face in the morning before going outside.Update: 11/11. The review above is accurate for the product when purchased from Paula’s Choice directly. The item I received from Amazon was opened last night and is counterfeit. There was no smell at all and had the consistency of water. Amazon did accept my return and refund my account which is correct thing to do. I will be buying directly from now on with this product.

Expensive but it works!
I really like how my skin looks and feels after using this, but it is pretty pricey for the size. I’m 58 and have large pores and some acne. This does shrink my pores and makes my skin look smoother and more even. Hope I can find a less expensive alternative.

Great product!! Tiny amount.
Tiny itty bitty microscopic bottle.But it’s great. I used Chat to ask what I needed and this ultimately was one of the good decisions. I’m very happy with the choice. I had these tiny little bumps under my skin under my chin, and I also have sensitive skin and cannot tolerate salicylic acid, benzo peroxide doesn’t do anything for these little teeny tiny bumps, and this pretty much solved them in a few days. But I don’t expect this bottle to last more than a few weeks. It is the tiniest thing on earth but it works so just get it and try it. I’m going to get the bigger bottle next time.Also the formula it’s pretty much just like wet little drops so I drop them onto my face, but you could drop them on your finger as well.. overall strange it’s not like an oil or anything. It’s quite literally like little water drops but again it does the job really well just figured why not review the whole thing.

Great if you’re sensitive of Glycolic Acid
In just 3 days, this has made a huge difference in my skin tone and texture. I’m sensitive to glycolic acid so I decided to try mandelic acid….I was hesitant to try this brand because the salicylic acid is a hit or miss with me. (but I believe I was using it wrong). But the mandelic acid, i use it every other day and it doesn’t irritate me. I use lots of milk toner and thick moisturizer because I also use Tretinoin. I even use this in the same routine, laying it and no irritation. I just wish the bottle was bigger for the price.

Travel Size!
Super tiny bottle—travel size! Pictures reflect and price reflect a larger size in my opinion.

Wow the smell – give me this in a perfume bottle.It’s a milky sweet smell.In terms of the product it’s gentle but effective. I prefer it to the other exfoliant. It’s suitable for my red sensitive skin.

„Es kommt in so einer kleinen und winzigen Flasche! Und ich habe für nur 30 ml ganze 25 Euro bezahlt. Sehr irreführend – wegen der großen Flasche auf dem Bild war es unmöglich zu erkennen. Auch wenn ich mich beschwere, glaube ich nicht, dass sie es zurücknehmen werden, aber ich hoffe, dass es sonst niemand kauft!
