By pairing a slow-penetrating AHA (mandelic acid) with a mild PHA (gluconolactone) and a rice-derived antioxidant exfoliant (phytic acid), the formula encourages more even tone and softer texture while two molecular weights of hyaluronic acid add immediate and lasting hydration. The serum is fragrance-free, vegan, and created with sensitive skin in mind, intended for gradual integration into a skincare routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this serum exfoliate without irritation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe serum uses mandelic acid, whose larger molecules diffuse more slowly, reducing aggressive penetration. Complementary gentle acids—phytic acid and gluconolactone—support surface exfoliation and antioxidant protection, making the overall action more calming than single-ingredient strong AHAs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10% mandelic acid for gradual AHA exfoliation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1% phytic acid to brighten and guard against oxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1% gluconolactone (PHA) for additional gentle resurfacing and hydration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormulated at pH ~4.0 to balance activity and tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen and how should I add it to my routine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduce the serum slowly—start with 1–2 evenings per week and increase to up to four nights as tolerated.

Because it supports gradual cell turnover rather than aggressive peeling, it can be helpful for people noticing texture, early fine lines, or uneven tone—but always test first and consult a dermatologist for complex conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFragrance-free and vegan to minimize potential irritants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for gradual use; suitable for many sensitive skin routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot a spot treatment for active severe acne; consult a professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlways follow with SPF during daytime use to protect renewed skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? Good Molecules Mandelic Acid Serum fits anyone seeking a milder path to smoother, brighter skin without aggressive peeling—especially those with sensitive or dehydration-prone skin who want exfoliation plus hydration. It’s also a practical choice for first-time acid users who prefer a gradual approach, and for established skincare users who want to add a hydrating resurfacer to evening routines. Remember to introduce the product slowly, patch-test if needed, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen when incorporating acids into daytime-exposed skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How often can I use Good Molecules Mandelic Acid Serum?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Start 1–2 nights weekly and build to up to four evenings a week as tolerated; always patch-test first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use it with other acids or retinoids?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Combine cautiously; avoid using strong acids or retinoids the same night to reduce irritation risk and consult your dermatologist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Good Molecules","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51485904666857,"sku":"B0D6TWLB6T","price":60.06,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/7674\/2633\/files\/good-molecules-mandelic-acid-serum-front-bottle.jpg?v=1783203896","url":"https:\/\/cervaaustralia.com\/products\/good-molecules-mandelic-acid-serum-10-gentle-exfoliating-face-serum-with-dual-hyaluronic-acid-30-ml","provider":"Cerva Australia | Professional Beauty Supplies, Skincare \u0026 Cosmetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
