Frequently asked questions
Can I use Mandelic Acid and Sunscreen together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Mandelic Acid works best, and stays safe, only if your skin is protected from UV. Without daily sunscreen, sun damage undoes its results, and you are more likely to burn and tan while using it.
Which goes first, Mandelic Acid or Sunscreen?
Apply Mandelic Acid first, then Sunscreen. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Mandelic Acid in the morning or at night?
Mandelic Acid: best at night. Use 3–4 nights a week. It is mild enough that many people can use it more often than other acids.
Should I use Sunscreen in the morning or at night?
Sunscreen: best in the morning. Use two finger-lengths for face and neck as the last morning step, every day, including indoors near windows. Reapply every 2–3 hours outdoors.
