Mandelic Acid Peel – Professional AHA Wrinkle Refining and Exfoliation Therapy

Mandelic Acid Peel is a dermatological-grade alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) chemical peel formulated to provide controlled exfoliation and largely help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It is widely available online in Pakistan at Cosmetics Compounding.

Due to its larger molecular size, mandelic acid penetrates the skin more slowly, making it particularly suitable for gradual resurfacing and pore refinement in sensitive, acne-prone, and uneven-toned skin types.

Designed in facilities with class‑clean room standards and comprehensive QC checks for visible improvement in skin clarity with minimal downtime.

Available Form and Pack Size
Mandelic Acid Peel is available as a gel or liquid form chemical peel in 15 ml (0.50 fl oz ℮).
