MIXI MANDELIC SERUM

Mixi Mandelic Serum is a professional-strength L-mandelic acid serum formulated to clear acne, fade hyperpigmentation, and resurface skin without stripping or irritating. Available in 5%, 8%, 11%, and 15% concentrations, it pairs mandelic acid with lactic acid, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to deliver controlled chemical exfoliation with built-in hydration and anti-inflammatory support. This allows you to match the serum's intensity to your skin's current tolerance and scale up as your results progress.

Targets Acne Beyond the Surface: Mandelic acid inhibits 5-alpha reductase, reducing DHT-driven sebum overproduction that fuels hormonal breakouts, while its antibacterial and antifungal properties address both traditional acne and malassezia (fungal acne).

Fades Dark Spots, Melasma, and Post-Acne Marks: Mandelic acid's larger molecular size exfoliates more gradually than glycolic acid, reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, and UV-related discoloration without triggering rebound darkening.

Calms Redness and Reactive Skin: Licorice root extract and green tea extract work alongside mandelic acid's inherent anti-inflammatory activity to visibly reduce redness, making this serum practical for rosacea-prone and sensitized skin.

Smooths Rough Texture and Softens Fine Lines: Accelerated cell turnover from combined mandelic and lactic acid visibly refines uneven texture, rough patches, and early fine lines with consistent use.

Hydrates While It Exfoliates: Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and sodium PCA maintain moisture balance throughout the exfoliation process, so skin feels comfortable with no dryness or flaking after application. Free of alcohol, fragrance, and essential oils.

Mixi Mandelic Serum is built for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types dealing with active breakouts, congestion, or post-acne hyperpigmentation. If you've cycled through spot treatments without lasting improvement, addressing cell turnover and sebum regulation at the exfoliation level is often the missing step.

This serum is also a strong fit if you're managing melasma, uneven skin tone, or sun-related pigmentation, particularly on medium to deeper skin tones where more aggressive AHAs like glycolic acid can trigger post-inflammatory darkening. Mandelic acid's gentler absorption profile makes it appropriate for year-round use alongside daily SPF.

Sensitive and rosacea-prone skin types who want the benefits of chemical exfoliation without irritation will find the 5% or 8% concentrations a practical starting point. The 11% and 15% strengths are better suited for experienced acid users or those working toward more aggressive resurfacing goals.
