Inside the formula
Kadar's Mandelic Acid 10% + HA is a serum: water-based built around Mandelic Acid 10%. It is dosed to work, printed on the front, and made without added fragrance or filler. A larger acid molecule, so it exfoliates more gently than glycolic.
The smallest alpha hydroxy acid, so it penetrates readily. Normal to oily skin comfortable with exfoliation. Evening use only.
Glycolic Acid: Resurfaces the top layer to smooth texture, even tone and boost radiance.
What’s in it, and why
Mandelic Acid: Gentle AHA; resurfaces sensitive skin
Sodium Hyaluronate: Hyaluronic acid; deeply hydrates
How it works
Alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic, lactic and mandelic dissolve the bonds between dead surface cells so they shed evenly, revealing smoother texture, brighter tone and better light reflection. Larger molecules like mandelic and PHA exfoliate more gently.

Evening, a few nights a week, before heavier creams. Introduce slowly. Follow with SPF each morning.

Frequently asked
How often should I use an acid?
Start two nights a week and build up as your skin tolerates it.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. Acids increase sun sensitivity, so daily SPF is non-negotiable.
How long does one bottle last?
Used as directed, most serums last two to three months. Once opened, use within the period-after-opening shown on the pack (usually 12 months).
How is it shipped, and can I return it?
Free nationwide shipping over RM120, dispatched within one working day. Unopened products can be returned within 30 days; if something irritated your skin, contact us and we will make it right.
Do I need a patch test?
Yes, especially with actives. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before using on the face.
