Description
AHA 40% Mandelic Peel – Gentle peel for acne-prone, hyperpigmentation and post-acne skin
Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that breaks the bond between corneal cells by removing aging cells, debris and pollutants adhered to the surface of the skin. Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin content in the dermis. Revitalizes dull, sun-damaged and tired skin. Firm tones and restores youthful glow. It removes dead skin cells and prone clogging debris to unclog pores and effectively treats hormonal breakouts. The skin may be a little pink and dry after the treatment.
Mandelic acid does not penetrate the skin aggressively. When acids are applied to the skin, it’s an exfoliation treatment, meaning dead skin cells are lifted off so that newer, healthier cells can shine through. It works to speed up cell turnover by dissolving the tiny bonds that hold skin cells together, helping to remove dead skin on the skin’s surface that can cause dull complexions as well as fine lines. The skin is renewed without irritation and scratching. Helps lighten uneven pigmentation. Helps minimize the appearance of fine lines. Reduces redness. It has no photosensitizing effect and actively inhibits melanogenesis. It does not cause edema or hyperemia.
Summary of Benefits: Mandelic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), obtained from almonds with a higher molecular weight than the rest of AHA, and therefore has a slower action, thus avoiding burning the skin. The skin is refreshed without irritation or burning. It breaks down the intercorneal junctions, exfoliating the dead cells and polluting substances that are adhered to them. Helps to unify uneven pigmentation. Minimizes the appearance of fine lines Reduces redness Stimulates collagen formation.
Results: Users of this type of peeling do not need to rest.
The skin may be slightly pink and dry after the peeling, so it is advisable to use NUTRIPEEL EMULSION at the end of the peeling to nourish the skin. Mild peeling may occur from the fourth day onwards, lasting for about seven days. The use of FPS 30 helps to protect the new layer of skin that is more sensitive to the harmful effects of UV, achieving longer-lasting results. To obtain a better result, it is important to repeat 4-6 sessions with an interval of fifteen days. Can be used in summer.

What is Mandelic Acid?
Mandelic Acid is an AHA derived from bitter almonds, widely recognized for its ability to promote gentle skin renewal while helping balance oil production and improve skin texture.
Due to its larger molecular size, it penetrates the skin more slowly compared to other AHAs, making it ideal for:
✔ acne-prone skin
✔ oily skin
✔ sensitive skin
✔ post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
✔ uneven texture
✔ anti-acne protocols
In addition to epidermal renewal, Mandelic Acid also helps progressively improve the overall appearance of acne-prone skin and skin tone uniformity.
How does it work on the skin?
Mandelic Acid Peel 40% works through controlled chemical exfoliation of the superficial layers of the skin.
Its action helps to:
- remove accumulated dead skin cells
- control excess oil
- reduce superficial irregularities
- improve skin texture
- even out skin tone
- progressively improve the appearance of acne-prone skin
👉 The result is skin that appears:
✨ more balanced
✨ more even
✨ brighter

Importance of pH and pKa
The effectiveness of a professional chemical peel does not depend only on acid concentration.
The true scientific control lies in the balance between:
- concentration
- pH
- pKa
- penetration speed
- skin tolerance
The pKa of Mandelic Acid provides an action that is:
✔ slower
✔ progressive
✔ more controlled
✔ more comfortable for the skin
This significantly reduces the risk of excessive irritation, making the peel especially suitable for reactive and acne-prone skin.
