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 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 just started using this and I have already noticed my skin is so much smoother and I feel like my skin is being gently exfoliated right after use. Paula’s Choice doesn’t disappoint, great quality products.

I’m honestly amazed this has been working. I have tired everything to lighten my acne scars and nothing has helped. The only other thing that has helped has been glycolic acid but it really didn’t lighten them. This mandelic acid has also decreased my bumps!

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

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.

I've had issues with dry flaky skin for about 6 months. Started with a few small areas but kept increasing until it was most of my face. Nothing worked to fix it, not the best moisturizers, and not abrasive exfoliators. This Paula's Choice mandelic acid has reduced it by 90% after only two applications! My mind is blown. I expect after one more application it will be gone completely. My super sensitive skin has had no bad reaction at all, which is very unusual for me. I recommend this product 1000%.

Started using this after my esthetician recommended it. My skin has never been more healthy!

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.

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
