Details
This listing is for 30g of pure pharmaceutical grade Mandelic Acid powder.
I am an industrial formulation chemist by trade and have sourced the highest quality, pharmaceutical grade Mandelic Acid
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are naturally occurring carboxylic acids, Mandleic acid is an extract from bitter almonds.
Mandelic Acid is known in the cosmetic industry for its line treatment with blemishing reduction properties. This makes it the perfect choice of peel for those with oily or combination skin who want the maximum line treatment benefits and blemish reduction properties of an Alpha Hydroxy Acid peel.
Mandelic Acid has been shown to be less irritating than other AHA such as Lactic and Salicylic Acid. Also, Mandelic Acid has anti-bacterial properties making this type of peel very suitable for acne prone skin types, which encourages skin cell turnover and boosts collagen production.
Mandelic Acid can treat the following conditions;
Fine Wrinkles
Acne
Areas of Dryness
Uneven Pigmentation
Blackheads
Whiteheads
Rough & Dry Skin
Large Pores
Ageing Skin & Wrinkles
Rosacea
Psoriasis
Actinic Keratosis
Directions for use
To make a Mandelic Acid skin Peel – For first timers it is advisable to begin with a 5% solution. Water solutions varying from 5-30% strength can be made. A 30% solution is the maximum strength of solution, above this strength Mandelic acid tends to fall out of solution. e.g. To make a 10% solution, take 10 g of Mandelic Acid powder and add 90 ml of water.
First Timers - It is advised for first time users to begin with a lower strength 5% Mandelic AHA skin peel treatment. Initially cleanse the skin with a suitable cleanser / toner. Take a cotton pad and dampen with the solution. Apply the damp cotton pad to a small area of the cheek and wait 1-2 minutes, and then wash with plenty of warm water to remove the peel. Then access your skin tolerance for this % of Mandelic Acid skin peel.
There should be no redness, burning or formation of blisters during the treatment. If this is the case discontinue use as your skin type is too sensitive for the Mandelic Acid peel treatment. But, the skin can turn light pink during the peel process, after 48hrs the skin colour will return to normal.
General Procedure – Wipe a dampened cotton pad over the face with the Mandelic AHA Acid Skin Peel. Leave for 2 mins then wash off with plenty of warm water. Repeat every week increasing the time period of the peel on the face by 1 min each time for a period of 6 weeks in total. After the 6 weeks it is advised to allow the skin to rejuvenate for at least 2 weeks before beginning a further treatment regime. After each treatment use moisturizer to ensure the skin does not dry out. During sunny weather wear the appropriate sun screen to protect the newly exposed skin cells (SPF15 is recommended).
During the treatment phase the skin will peel and appear flaky after 1-2 days after treatment. This is a part of the treatment removing the dead skin cells
To make a Mandelic Acid cream - Usually a 1%-5% cream is made of Mandelic Acid and your chosen cream. e.g. Take 1g of Mandelic Acid and add 100ml of your chosen cream base, stir well with a wooden spatula or pedicure stick until evenly mixed. Use as a standard cream.
Packaging
The Mandelic Acid will be packaged in a double resealable bag for easy use and sent in a strong jiffy bag.
