SKINPIENS Gentle Acid Resurfacing Serum

I believe effective exfoliation shouldn't have to come at the expense of skin comfort.

That's why we developed Gentle Acid Resurfacing Serum — combining Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid with carefully selected botanical ingredients to encourage gentle skin renewal without unnecessary harshness.

The goal is simple: smoother texture, a more even-looking complexion, and a healthy glow, while respecting your skin's needs.

Because beautiful skin isn't about aggressive treatments. It's about finding the right balance between renewal and care.

Is Gentle Acid Resurfacing Serum suitable for sensitive skin?

The serum is formulated for sensitive, dry, oily, and combination skin. However, as it contains exfoliating acids, we recommend starting slowly and performing a patch test before first use.

Can I use this serum every day?

Begin with 2–3 evenings per week. Gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Reduce usage if dryness or irritation occurs.

What is the difference between Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid?

Both are Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) that help exfoliate the skin. Mandelic Acid is known for its relatively gentle exfoliating properties, while Lactic Acid helps improve skin texture and supports a smoother, more radiant appearance.

Can I use it with Vitamin C or Retinol?

To minimize the risk of irritation, avoid layering this serum with other exfoliating acids or potent active ingredients, including retinoids, in the same routine.

Do I need to use sunscreen?

Yes. AHAs can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day.

Will this serum help with uneven skin tone and dullness?

The dual-AHA formula is designed to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, dullness, and rough texture, revealing a smoother and brighter-looking complexion.

What is the texture of the serum?

A lightweight, clear liquid serum that spreads easily across the skin and fits comfortably into your skincare routine.
