Description
Size: 5 mL / 15 mL / 30 mL
Skin Types: All skin types, including sensitive
Skin Concerns: Dark spots and uneven tone, post-blemish marks, rough texture and dullness, early visible signs of aging, blemish-prone skin that is also dry or reactive, sensitive, dry and mature skin
NeoGenesis Mandelic Acid 8% is a lightweight exfoliating gel for hyperpigmented, dry or blemish-prone skin. Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid with a larger molecular size than most AHAs, which makes for a gentler exfoliation, so it suits sensitive and reactive skin. It hydrates as it exfoliates, refining rough texture, gradually improving the look of uneven pigmentation and post-blemish marks, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines.
The formula keeps pores clear and calms the look of breakouts while promoting a clearer, brighter, more radiant complexion, without the harsh, stripped feeling of many mandelic formulas. Sodium PCA and glycerin, both natural moisturizing factors, support hydration and the barrier alongside the acid. Use it in the evening after cleansing and your S2RM serum, follow with moisturizer, and wear sunscreen daily. Available in 5 mL, 15 mL and 30 mL.

Mandelic Acid 8%: the gentle AHA for brighter, smoother, clearer skin
NeoGenesis Mandelic Acid 8% is a lightweight exfoliating gel made for hyperpigmented, dry or blemish-prone skin. Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid with a larger molecular size than most AHAs, which gives a gentler exfoliation experience and makes it a good fit for sensitive and reactive skin. It gently lifts dull surface cells to refine rough texture, gradually improve the look of uneven pigmentation, discolouration and post-blemish marks, and smooth the appearance of fine lines.
It also keeps pores clear, reducing the appearance of congestion and excess oil, and calms the look of breakouts for a clearer, more radiant complexion. What sets it apart from many mandelic formulas is the absence of that harsh, stripped feeling: sodium PCA and glycerin, both natural moisturizing factors, hydrate and support the barrier alongside the acid. Apply in the evening after your S2RM serum, follow with moisturizer, and wear sunscreen daily.
The gentle AHA
Mandelic acid's larger molecular size means a gentler exfoliation than most alpha hydroxy acids, so reactive skin can use it.
Brightens tone and marks
Gradually improves the look of dark spots, uneven pigmentation and post-blemish discolouration for a more even complexion.
Clears and calms
Keeps pores clear, reduces the appearance of congestion and calms the look of breakouts in blemish-prone skin.
Hydrates as it exfoliates
Sodium PCA and glycerin, natural moisturizing factors, support hydration and the barrier, so there is no stripped feeling.
Key Ingredients & How They Work
The actives that drive 8% mandelic acid in a hydrating gel: brightens, refines and clears, gently enough for reactive skin. — and what each one does for your skin.
Why mandelic acid
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the surface of the skin. Its larger molecular size slows how it moves into skin, which is why NeoGenesis positions it as the gentler AHA for sensitive, dry and mature skin.
Tone and texture
By lifting dull, uneven surface cells it improves the appearance of rough texture, dullness, fine lines and post-blemish discolouration, leaving skin looking smoother, brighter and more refined.
Natural moisturizing factors
Sodium PCA is a powerful humectant that attracts and retains water in the outer skin layer, supporting lasting hydration and barrier function while the acid works.
Glycerin and the barrier
Glycerin acts as a prebiotic and is clinically shown to increase hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss, supporting a smoother, more resilient skin surface.
These descriptions reflect how each ingredient works in general dermatological terms. Individual results vary, and skincare is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

- In the evening, cleanse and apply your S2RM serum (Recovery, Booster or Skin Serum).
- Apply 1 pump of Mandelic Acid 8% to the face and allow it to absorb, then follow with moisturizer.
- Use sunscreen daily, as this product increases skin sensitivity to the sun.
Who It's For
- Uneven skin tone, dark spots and post-blemish marks that need gradual, gentle brightening
- Rough texture and dullness on dry, mature or sensitive-looking skin
- Blemish-prone skin that finds stronger exfoliants too harsh or drying
- Early visible signs of aging, including fine lines and loss of radiance
Sensitivity note: Formulated for sensitive and reactive skin: mandelic acid's larger molecule exfoliates more gently than most AHAs, and the hydrating base avoids the stripped feeling.

8% mandelic acid in a hydrating gel: brightens, refines and clears, gently enough for reactive skin.: Frequently Asked Questions
What does mandelic acid do for skin?
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the surface of the skin. NeoGenesis Mandelic Acid 8% uses it to improve the appearance of uneven tone, rough texture, dullness, fine lines and post-blemish discolouration, leaving skin looking smoother, brighter and more refined.
Is mandelic acid good for sensitive skin?
Yes. Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than many other alpha hydroxy acids, which gives a gentler exfoliation experience. NeoGenesis formulates Mandelic Acid 8% in a hydrating gel with sodium PCA and glycerin, and recommends it especially for dry, mature or sensitive-looking skin.
Does mandelic acid help with dark spots and post-blemish marks?
It is one of the main reasons to use it. By gently refining and smoothing the skin, Mandelic Acid 8% gradually improves the look of uneven pigmentation, discolouration and post-breakout marks, promoting a brighter, more even-looking complexion over time. Consistency and daily sunscreen matter.
How do I use NeoGenesis Mandelic Acid 8%?
In the evening, after cleansing and applying your S2RM serum, apply one pump to the face and allow it to absorb. Follow with moisturizer. Use sunscreen every day, because this product increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun.
Can I use mandelic acid if I get breakouts?
Yes. Mandelic Acid 8% is made for blemish-prone skin as well as dry and hyperpigmented skin. It keeps pores clear by gently exfoliating the surface, reduces the appearance of congestion and excess oil, and calms the look of breakouts, without the harsh, stripped feeling of many mandelic formulas.
What is the difference between Mandelic Acid 8% and Salicylic Acid Gel?
Both are NeoGenesis exfoliants designed to follow an S2RM serum. Mandelic Acid 8% is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid for uneven tone, dullness, post-blemish marks and early signs of aging on dry, mature or sensitive skin. Salicylic Acid Gel is a 2% beta hydroxy acid that works inside the pore, for blackheads, excess oil and congestion.
Are there before and after photos for Mandelic Acid 8%?
Yes. NeoGenesis publishes before and after case photos from its professional partners, and a selection that used Mandelic Acid 8% is shown above with every product in the routine listed in the caption. Individual results vary.

Yes. The NeoGenesis product video above walks through Mandelic Acid 8%, what is in it and how to apply it, and the science video explains the stem cell released molecules behind the line.
