A: This product is ideal for all skin types and skin tones looking to refine their complexion, decrease dullness and increase barrier strength. It’s especially good for those who have struggled with other AHA exfoliants in the past, including those with sensitive skin or those who have felt a stinging sensation when using AHA.
Q: Is SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant suitable for those with rosacea or sensitive skin?
A: Yes, the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant is considered their most gentle AHA. It’s formulated with antioxidants and soothing ingredients which is even suitable for those with symptoms of rosacea such as redness, sensitivity and skin that feels dry, tight or uncomfortable. We recommend starting slowly, monitoring your skin and adjusting accordingly. During the day, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
Q: How does the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant support a healthy skin microbiome and skin barrier?
A: The SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant contains a probiotic-fermented antioxidant blend that helps create healthy postbiotics and nutrients within skin that have an anti-aging effect including visibly reducing redness, improving uneven tone and fortifying skin.
Q: Why did Paula’s Choice develop the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant?
A: As an industry leader when it comes to exfoliation, Paula’s Choice wanted to offer a new innovation that goes beyond AHA’s primary benefits of surface exfoliation to also deliver skin renewal and microbiome benefits. Plus, this is currently the only liquid AHA exfoliant they offer and one of the gentlest exfoliants in the line.
Q: Can I layer the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant with Paula’s Choice BHAs?
A: Using both the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant and a Paula’s Choice BHA in your routine can target skin concerns like sun damage, deep wrinkles, clogged pores, bumps and dull, flaky skin even faster. Many prefer alternating these exfoliants to address their specific needs, but everyone’s skin is different.
Q: Are there ingredients or products I should avoid using with SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant?
A: No, the SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant contains an array of skin-beneficial ingredients that play nicely with all other products and ingredients. In fact, this product (along with all Paula’s Choice exfoliants) can help improve the absorption of other skin care products by helping to remove the built-up outer layer of dry, dead skin to allow serums, moisturizers and other treatments to penetrate deeper and be more effective.

Incredible for dark spots on dark skin
Got this yesterday and have only tried it once and wow I could already see results this morning. My skin has being so bad lately I have dry and sensitive skin and also being breaking out so bad, have so much acne scaring and texture. Tried lots of exfoliates and they all made my face sting. No stinging whatsoever with this skin actually felt really hydrated and glowing after it. Even after one time I can see a huge improvement with the texture on my forehead and chin. So excited to keep using to see the results. Highly recommended
Really good
