Common questions
Is The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 20). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10% + HA suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains mandelic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
