Mandelic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) used in cosmetic products due to its beneficial properties for the skin:
1. Exfoliation: helps to remove layers of dead cells from the surface of the skin. This helps to improve the texture of the skin, reduce the appearance of blemishes and fine lines, and make the skin more luminous.
2. Reduction of the appearance of pigmented spots.
3. Moisture retention: can help to moisturize the skin and reduce moisture loss.
4. Antibacterial properties: can be useful for fighting acne and controlling bacteria on the skin.
5. Reduction of the appearance of enlarged pores.
6. Antioxidant action: helps to protect the skin from the effects of free radicals and reduce stress damage.
