Formulation view A lightweight aqueous gel featuring mandelic acid as the primary exfoliant, supported by panthenol and aloe for soothing. The low molecular weight of mandelic acid makes it gentle. From a factory perspective, precise pH control below 4 is critical to maintain exfoliating efficacy; higher pH will neutralize the acid and reduce its effectiveness.
