Godsend
I dont think ive ever written a product review in my life but i felt so compelled to recommend this to other people! I have insanely sensitive, acne prone, oily skin. Awful combo for the girlies that need regular exfoliation but are also sensitive to everything. This is other wordly tbh. It gently...

Not good for sensitive, acne prone skin
I got this mandelic acid serum after doing research on AHA's that are good for acne prone sensitive skin because mandelic acid is supposed to be more gentle. Unfortunately it was not.

Caused horrible acne
I love good molecules but unfortunately this serum caused horrible deep acne on my face :(
Works wonders
I have lots of acne scars due to having pretty bad cystic acne a few years ago, and this is definitely the best product I've used to get rid of them. I've only been using it for about a month now and I can already see a big difference! I also have very sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate it at all.
Great stuff
I have been using this for about 2 weeks and it works great. It is gentle on my skin. I havent had any irritations and I have a bit of a sensitive skin. I only use this at night so I cant tell you if it is irritating in the day. I wake up with smooth skin and it clears up my skin really well. It has a thick consistancy. I would say similar to maybe snail mucus. Overall I will continue to use this to clear my skin and help with skin texture.
Glowy baby!
My skin looked so glowy after 24 hours. Ive been using for a week and my skin looks so good.
Gave me whiteheads all over within 24 hours
- It pills terribly - Gave me little white dots all over my face- it was actually shocking - sticky and dries tacky My first Good Molecules product that failed me
