So what exactly is the mandelic acid secret? Let’s start with what mandelic acid actually is. To keep it simple, it is an alpha hydroxy acid created when combining bitter almond extract with hydrochloric acid. Which makes it super gentle, meaning it can be used on all kinds of skin types—even sensitive skin. Many Scottsdale based spas rave about the benefits of mandelic acid because it is so versatile and its benefits, truly amazing.

The LeClair Organic product line—also used exclusively by many award winning 5-star Scottsdale spas—understands how essential mandelic acid is, this is because it helps with anti-aging, brightening and toning. We’re in on the mandelic acid secret and we offer it to you by virtue of our incredible rejuvenating products!
Mandelic Acid Secret: The Benefits
In terms of how mandelic acid helps the skin, the science is fairly basic: the acid accelerates the removal of dead skin cells. This in turn makes way for new skin cells and it helps to freshen up an otherwise dull complexion. Additionally, the acid boosts collagen production which increases the skin’s elasticity, and this leads to a firmer tone overall.
Also, because of the rapid skin cell turnover, the mandelic acid secret is one of brightening and evening. Darker spots and pigmentation issues have been known to lessen within a matter of a few weeks after using mandelic acid products.
