- Paula’s Choice 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Exfoliant, Gentle Daily AHA Exfoliation for Discoloration, Bumpy Texture & Radiance, for Sensitive Skin, Fragrance-Free

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.

I am a huge fan of Paula’s choice. I am 32 years old and this is the first year I have started with a skin routine and this brand was highly recommended. My skin has truly never looked better. I have received many compliments on my skin these past few months and I know it’s because of these products. I now feel more comfortable in my skin due to this exfoliator. I also use Paula’s choice vitamin c serum.

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.

I love this product. It’s helped to smooth out my skin, I really feel like it helps to retain moisture and brighten my complexion. I don’t use a cotton pad to apply, just my hands and then I smooth it in. This works best and I use less.

Paula's Choice makes great products. This one has an unpleasant odor.

I like it did help my skin this is my 2nd time purchasing this

This is way smaller than I expected..never something you want to have to say...lul. No, but anyways, I don't know how it is going to work on my face, I usually love Paula's Choice products so I'm sure it will work great but just so you know, the bottle is super tiny, like have the size of my Samsung phone, if that helps. For 15 bucks, it's really just up to you if you want to try it out so you don't have to spend nearly 40 bucks on the full size.

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.

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.

This product definitely worked for me my skin is smoother and less irritated. For reference I have a dark complexion.

Yes, this works really well in lightening the blemishes

Not very visible results May be due to inconsistency

Affordable and great range of products, not harsh on the skin but very effective
