Achieving brighter, clearer skin doesn't have to come with irritation. Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum uses mandelic acid, a gentle alpha hydroxy acid, to encourage healthy cell turnover while helping improve uneven skin tone, post-breakout discoloration, and congested pores.

Because mandelic acid penetrates the skin more gradually than many other exfoliating acids, it's an excellent option for those who want effective exfoliation with less sensitivity. Regular use leaves skin looking smoother, more even, and visibly more radiant while helping keep future blemishes under control.

Key Benefits

Brightens and evens skin tone

Mandelic acid exfoliates surface cells to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, while potassium azeloyl diglycinate (Azeloglicina) inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for excess melanin production, for a visibly more even complexion.

Refines texture and minimizes pore appearance

By clearing congestion from pore openings and accelerating cell turnover, mandelic acid helps skin look smoother and pores appear smaller over time.

Reduces breakouts and regulates oil

Azeloglicina helps balance sebum production, and Dendriclear (lactobacillus ferment) works to control breakout-causing bacteria so blemishes become less frequent and less severe.

Strengthens and calms the skin barrier

Niacinamide supports barrier function and helps reduce redness, while sodium hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin so exfoliation never comes at the cost of hydration.

Targets discoloration on multiple pathways

Hexylresorcinol, a potent brightening agent, works alongside mandelic acid and Azeloglicina to address pigmentation through complementary mechanisms for more thorough results.

Who it’s For

Esthetician Recommendations

Start by using this serum every other evening for the first two weeks, then increase to nightly use once your skin acclimates. This gradual introduction helps you get the full brightening and exfoliating benefits without triggering unnecessary dryness or sensitivity, especially if you are new to mandelic acid.

How to Use

Apply: After cleansing and toning, dispense 3 to 5 drops onto fingertips and press gently into the face, neck, and chest.

Technique: Follow with your preferred moisturizer to lock in hydration. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF in the morning when using this serum.

Frequency: Use once per day, either morning or evening. If you notice dryness or sensitivity, reduce to every other day until your skin adjusts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skin concerns does Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum address?

This serum targets hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, enlarged-looking pores, and acne breakouts. It combines mandelic acid for exfoliation with Azeloglicina and hexylresorcinol to interrupt melanin production, while niacinamide calms redness and supports overall skin clarity.

Is Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum gentle enough for sensitive skin?

Mandelic acid has a larger molecular weight than many other alpha hydroxy acids, so it absorbs more gradually and tends to cause less irritation. Most sensitive skin types tolerate it well, though it is always best to start with every-other-day use and increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

Can I use Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum with other exfoliating products?

Because this serum already contains an active AHA, layering it with other exfoliants like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or retinol at the same time can increase the risk of irritation. If you want to use multiple actives, alternate them on different days or different times of day. If you need guidance, our estheticians can help you build a routine through a free skincare consultation.

How long does it take to see results from Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum?

Most users notice smoother texture and a more even tone within two to four weeks of consistent use. Deeper pigmentation concerns like melasma or stubborn post-acne marks may take eight to twelve weeks of daily use to show significant improvement.

What is Azeloglicina in Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum?

Azeloglicina is a branded derivative of azelaic acid, listed as potassium azeloyl diglycinate in the ingredient list. It inhibits tyrosinase to reduce excess melanin production and also helps regulate sebum, making it a dual-action ingredient for both brightening and oil control.

Do I need to wear sunscreen when using Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum?

Yes. Any product containing an alpha hydroxy acid increases your skin's sensitivity to UV exposure. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF every morning is essential to protect your results and prevent further pigmentation.

Can Skin Script Mandelic Brightening Serum help with acne?

Yes. Mandelic acid clears pore congestion through gentle exfoliation, Azeloglicina regulates oil production, and Dendriclear (lactobacillus ferment) helps control the bacteria that contribute to breakouts. Together, these ingredients reduce both the frequency and severity of blemishes.
