Mixi Mandelic 5% Serum

Mixi Mandelic Serum is a professional-strength L-mandelic acid serum formulated to clear acne, fade hyperpigmentation, and resurface skin without stripping or irritating. Available in 5%, it pairs mandelic acid with lactic acid, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to deliver controlled chemical exfoliation with built-in hydration and anti-inflammatory support. This allows you to match the serum's intensity to your skin's current tolerance and scale up as your results progress.

Key Benefits

Targets Acne Beyond the Surface Mandelic acid inhibits 5-alpha reductase, reducing DHT-driven sebum overproduction that fuels hormonal breakouts, while its antibacterial and antifungal properties address both traditional acne and malassezia (fungal acne).

Fades Dark Spots, Melasma, and Post-Acne Marks Mandelic acid's larger molecular size exfoliates more gradually than glycolic acid, reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, and UV-related discoloration without triggering rebound darkening.

Calms Redness and Reactive Skin Licorice root extract and green tea extract work alongside mandelic acid's inherent anti-inflammatory activity to visibly reduce redness, making this serum practical for rosacea-prone and sensitized skin.

Smooths Rough Texture and Softens Fine Lines Accelerated cell turnover from combined mandelic and lactic acid visibly refines uneven texture, rough patches, and early fine lines with consistent use.

Hydrates While It Exfoliates Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and sodium PCA maintain moisture balance throughout the exfoliation process, so skin feels comfortable with no dryness or flaking after application. Free of alcohol, fragrance, and essential oils.

Key Ingredients

• Mandelic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid that brightens, suppresses hyperpigmentation, and enhances cell turnover.
• Lactic Acid: An alpha-hydroxy acid that improves skin tone, smooths texture, and reduces the appearance of dark spots.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Naturally occurring in the skin, provides intense hydration and plumps and improves skin barrier function by attracting and retaining moisture.
• Niacinamide: A multitasking form of vitamin B3 that helps balance oil, strengthen the skin barrier, and improve uneven tone and texture while calming redness for healthier looking skin.
• Licorice Root Extract: Brightening and anti-inflammatory agent that balances skin tone and helps inhibit hyperpigmentation.
• Green Tea Extract: Calms, soothes, and moisturizes, while providing antioxidant and anti-microbial support.
