REGELICA 8% Mandelic Acid Serum — 30ml AHA exfoliant for dark spots, pores & hydration with Edelweiss + Squalane

REGELICA 8% Mandelic Acid Serum is a gentle, all-in-one Korean AHA treatment that exfoliates, brightens, and hydrates to improve dark spots, enlarged pores, and fine lines.

This lightweight 30 ml serum blends 8% mandelic acid with edelweiss extract, squalane, and centella asiatica to deliver surface renewal without heavy peeling or stinging. Formulated in Korea for Western skin concerns, it replaces a separate exfoliant, antioxidant serum, and moisturizer for a streamlined routine. The slow-penetrating mandelic acid minimizes irritation, making the formula suitable for sensitive, acne-prone, and melanin-rich skin types while also being cruelty-free and free from parabens and mineral oil.

How quickly will I notice smoother, less visible pores?

You may see initial softening and smoother texture within two to four weeks, with clearer pore appearance developing over consistent use. Mandelic acid gently removes dead skin and surface congestion, while squalane and centella help maintain moisture so skin doesn’t over-dry during renewal.

• Use 2–3 times weekly at first, increasing frequency as tolerated.
• Apply on clean skin at night, followed by moisturizer and morning SPF.
• Visible texture improvements typically appear after several cycles of exfoliation.

Will this serum lighten dark spots and uneven tone?

The formula supports gradual brightening by accelerating cell turnover and supplying antioxidant protection from edelweiss extract. Regular application helps fade post-inflammatory marks and hyperpigmentation without aggressive irritation common to stronger AHAs.

• Consistent nightly use helps reduce appearance of dark spots over weeks to months.
• Edelweiss extract contributes antioxidant activity to support even tone.
• Best combined with daily SPF to prevent recurrence of pigmentation.

Is this safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Mandelic acid’s comparatively large molecules slow penetration, lowering the chance of redness and flaking, which makes it a good option for sensitive or reactive skin. The addition of squalane and centella soothes and hydrates, helping maintain barrier resilience while exfoliating.

• Formulated without silicones, parabens, mineral oil, SLS, or synthetic dyes.
• Patch-test before full use; start with less frequent applications.
• Works with acne-prone skin when introduced gradually into routine.

How should I incorporate this serum into my routine?

Use the serum after cleansing and before heavier creams. Start with every other night or 2–3 times per week, then increase as skin tolerates; always follow with sunscreen during daytime to protect renewed skin.

• Evening: cleanse → REGELICA 8% Mandelic Acid Serum → moisturizer.
• Morning: gentle cleanse → sunscreen (mandatory when using AHAs).
• Avoid concurrent use with strong retinoids until tolerance is established.
