Paula’s Choice 6% Mandelic + 2% Lactic Acid Exfoliant | Gentle Daily AHA for Sensitive Skin

Gentle daily exfoliation for smoother, brighter skin

Meet a lightweight, fragrance-free liquid exfoliant designed to refresh the surface of your skin with a measured blend of mandelic and lactic acids. The formula aims to soften rough patches, even out tone, and support a more luminous complexion over time, without harsh sensations.

Balanced, skin-friendly AHA blend

The product pairs 6% mandelic acid with 2% lactic acid to deliver exfoliation that targets dull texture and visible discoloration. The combination is chosen to feel comfortable for many skin types, including those with sensitivity, while still helping to smooth the skin’s surface and refine its appearance.

• 6% mandelic + 2% lactic acid create a gentle yet effective exfoliating action
• Time-released lactic acid aims to reduce irritation while maintaining potency
• Fragrance-free formula prioritizes comfort and clarity of use

Support from antioxidants and skin-barrier friendly ingredients

Beyond acids, the formula includes yarrow extract and a fermented antioxidant blend (cherry blossom, chocolate vine, yumberry). These ingredients are selected to nourish the skin’s surface and may help support a healthy-feeling barrier as you continue using the product.

• Antioxidant blend may contribute to a resilient-feeling skin surface
• Yarrow extract supports the skin’s microbiome-friendly environment
• Fragrance-free formula reduces potential irritants for sensitive routines

What you may notice across skin types

Users often report a visible improvement in texture and tone with continued use. The formulation is designed to work atop the skin to resurface the outer layer gently, aiming for a radiant, natural-looking glow rather than a dramatic change.

• Smoother texture and more even tone over time
• Brightened appearance without heavy residue or heaviness
• Compatibility with a wide range of routines thanks to fragrance-free design

How to use

After cleansing, apply a small amount to the face as part of your routine. If you’re new to AHAs, start slowly and monitor how your skin responds. In daytime use, follow with sunscreen to protect newly exposed skin.

Note: Results vary by individual. This product is intended to support a smoother, more radiant-looking complexion and to complement a balanced skincare routine.
