ANAI RUI Mandelic Acid 10% + Salicylic Acid 2% Exfoliant Serum — Tea Tree, 1.05 fl oz, Gentle AHA BHA Peel

ANAI RUI Mandelic Acid 10% with Salicylic Acid 2% is a leave-on exfoliant peel serum formulated to gently resurface skin, help fade pigmentation appearance, and clear congested pores.

This lightweight serum pairs a 10% AHA (mandelic acid) with 2% BHA (salicylic acid), plus tea tree oil and jojoba, to combine surface exfoliation with deeper pore-clearing. The formula is fragrance-free and free of parabens and artificial colors, designed for targeted spot application or short mask-style peels. Use after cleansing for controlled exfoliation that supports skin texture improvement with regular use.

How should I use this exfoliant safely?

Apply to clean, dry skin and limit initial contact to short exposure times to build tolerance. For spot treatment, place a small amount on blemishes; for a peel, leave on 5–10 minutes then rinse. Follow with a moisturizer and daily sun protection while using chemical exfoliants.

• Start 2–3 times weekly, increasing frequency as tolerated.
• Spot apply to active congestion or use as a short rinse-off peel.
• Always follow with sunscreen during daytime use.

What skin concerns can this serum address?

The combination of mandelic acid and salicylic acid targets texture, clogged pores, and uneven tone. Mandelic acid works on the skin surface to reduce the look of pigmentation while salicylic acid penetrates pores to help dislodge blackheads and sebum. Supportive ingredients like tea tree and jojoba help soothe and balance skin during exfoliation.

• Helps soften rough texture and reduce visible pore size.
• Targets dark spots and age-appearance with regular use.
• Aids in clearing blackheads and congested pores.

Can all skin types use this daily?

The formula is designed to be approachable for many skin types, but sensitivity varies—people with reactive or very dry skin should proceed cautiously. Those with tolerant skin may use more frequently, while sensitive skin can use it as a short rinse-off peel or spot treat. Monitor for irritation and reduce use if redness or excessive dryness occurs.

• Suitable for combination, oily, and normal skin with gradual introduction.
• Sensitivity-prone skin: use as a 5–10 minute rinse-off peel first.
• Avoid mixing with other strong actives until tolerance is assessed.

How long until I see results?

Visible improvement in texture and reduced congested pores typically appears after several weeks of consistent use. Pigmentation and spot fading often require continued use for a month or more to notice meaningful change. Results depend on skin type, frequency of use, and complementary skincare such as sunscreen and moisturizers.

• Texture and pore clarity: often within 4–8 weeks.
• Fading of darker spots: may take several weeks of steady use.
• Consistency and sun protection speed and preserve results.

Who is this for: This ANAI RUI mandelic acid peel is aimed at adults looking to refine skin texture, reduce the visible appearance of enlarged pores and blackheads, and address uneven pigmentation without fragrance or unnecessary additives. It suits those who want a targeted chemical exfoliant that can be used as a spot treatment or short-duration peel; people with sensitive skin should introduce it gradually and consider less frequent or rinse-off use until tolerance builds.
