Clinique Turnaround Accelerated Renewal Face Serum, 1 fl oz — Mandelic AHA Exfoliating & Smoothing Treatment

Clinique Turnaround Accelerated Renewal Face Serum is a lightweight exfoliating serum that refines texture and brightensskin by accelerating natural cell turnover.

This updated formulation from Clinique blends mandelic acid into its Multi-Renewal Technology to gently lift away dull surface cells while helping skin appear smoother and more radiant. Dermatologist tested, allergy tested and 100% fragrance free, the serum is designed to be layered under moisturizers and makeup and is presented in new glass packaging. It targets uneven texture and lackluster tone without heavy oils or perfumes, making it easy to add into most existing skincare routines.

How quickly will I notice smoother skin?

Visible improvements in texture and radiance often appear within days to a few weeks depending on frequency of use and your skin’s baseline condition. Mandelic acid helps loosen bonds between dead skin cells so the surface looks polished sooner, while the serum’s lightweight delivery supports consistent application.

• Daily or nightly application improves turnover without harsh flaking.
• Lightweight texture absorbs quickly under moisturizer.
• Works progressively: small refinements appear early, broader changes build over weeks.

Will this serum suit sensitive or reactive skin?

Clinique formulates this serum to be allergy tested and fragrance free to lower irritation risk, but individual sensitivities vary. Mandelic acid is an AHA known for being milder than some alternatives, so many people with reactive skin tolerate it better—start slowly to assess your skin’s response.

• Patch test before full-face use if you’re prone to reactions.
• Begin every other night, increasing to nightly as tolerated.
• Pair with a soothing moisturizer and daily sunscreen for protection.

How should I layer this serum in my routine?

Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams, oils or SPF. Because it targets surface renewal, it pairs well with hydrating serums or moisturizers that lock in moisture without creating barrier conflict.

• Cleanse and pat skin dry.
• Dispense a small amount and smooth over face, avoiding the immediate eye area.
• Follow with moisturizer and daytime SPF; use sunscreen every morning when using AHAs.

What visible results can I expect without harsh peeling?

The product is designed to refine pores, reduce rough patches, and enhance overall glow while minimizing visible peeling. Regular use aims for a more even-looking complexion and a softer surface feel rather than dramatic sloughing.

• Smoother texture with fewer rough or dry patches.
• Brighter overall tone and subtle radiance improvement.
• Refined look to skin without heavy exfoliation or flaking.
