GLYTONE Mandelic Acid 10% Micro-Peel Serum - 1 fl oz | Gentle AHA Exfoliant with Phytic Acid for Sensitive Skin, Fragrance-Free

Glytone Micro-Peel 10% Mandelic Acid Serum is a gentle nightly resurfacing treatment that uses mandelic and phytic acids to reduce uneven tone, refine texture, and calm redness-prone skin.

This lightweight, fragrance- and paraben-free serum blends 10% mandelic acid with phytic acid to deliver controlled chemical exfoliation suited for sensitive or reactive skin types. Designed for use in evening routines, the formula helps slough away dull surface cells while phytic acid supports a more even complexion. Vegan and dermatologist-recommended, it aims to improve pore clarity and visual signs of aging without harsh irritation when used as directed.

How does this serum gently exfoliate without over-drying sensitive skin?

Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a larger molecular structure that penetrates the skin more slowly than stronger AHAs, reducing the risk of stinging or excessive peeling. Phytic acid complements this action by brightening and helping to reduce the appearance of dark spots, delivering balanced resurfacing rather than aggressive stripping.

• 10% mandelic acid for controlled surface and pore exfoliation
• Phytic acid to support tone correction and reduce hyperpigmentation
• Fragrance-free formula to minimize irritation risk
• Lightweight liquid texture that layers under moisturizers

When and how should I add the Glytone Micro-Peel Serum to my routine?

Use this serum at night after cleansing and before heavier treatments or moisturizers. Start by applying a small amount two to three times per week, then increase frequency as tolerated to nightly use; always follow with daytime broad-spectrum SPF while using exfoliating acids.

• Apply on clean, dry face and neck in the evening
• Begin with low frequency and monitor skin response
• Avoid combining with other strong actives at first (e.g., retinol, high-strength acids)
• Use daily sunscreen during the day to protect newly revealed skin

What visible changes can I expect and over what timeframe?

With consistent use, many users notice smoother texture and reduced pore appearance within a few weeks, while improvements in uneven tone and dark spots may take longer. Results depend on starting skin condition and adherence to application guidance.

• Smoother skin texture often seen in weeks
• Gradual reduction of discoloration with continued use
• Reduced redness and calmer appearance for reactive skin
• Clinician-friendly formulation for ongoing maintenance

Are there safety tips or compatibility notes I should know?

The serum increases photosensitivity, so daily sun protection is essential. Avoid use on broken or sunburned skin, and introduce it slowly if you are combining it with other active ingredients to prevent irritation.

• Always wear broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use
• Skip use if you have open wounds or severe irritation
• Patch-test before full-face application if you have highly reactive skin
• Consult a dermatologist when layering multiple prescription actives

Who is this for: Glytone Micro-Peel 10% Mandelic Acid Serum is intended for anyone seeking a milder chemical exfoliant—especially those with sensitive, redness-prone, or uneven-toned skin who want predictable resurfacing without heavy flaking. It also suits users looking for a fragrance-free, vegan option that integrates easily into evening regimens to improve texture, clarity, and tone over time.
