Top Pick: mandelic acid serum
All 5 takes from Cassandra Bankson

"Face Reality's L-mandelic acid serum barely can be beat. It's beat by one other product only. This is amazing. It's an eight percent L-mandelic acid serum. The L-mandelic acid is so much more stable and it can be absorbed really gently but effectively into the skin. The way that this Face Reality serum is formulated, it absorbs so well you only need a little bit to go a long way. It is potent at eight percent. If you use a sunscreen, you could get away with it during the day if it's cloudy. It is potent, it is effective, but boy is it gentle. If you struggle with pigmentation, especially from acne, this is one of the best. The issue is that it is a little bit more expensive. This one is forty-five dollars. Absolutely worth it for me."
"If you are acne-prone, mandelic acid is fantastic. This comes from bitter almonds. Face Reality is one of my favorites."
"This is the L mandelic acid serum at eight percent and it's potent and effective but it's gentle, it's penetrating and non-stripping. I've never seen a brand that actually lists what chirality their molecules are and I absolutely love this. This is probably the best mandelic acid serum that I've ever used just because it penetrates into the skin, there's science behind it, and I do see the results. It exfoliates without overly stripping and my face loves this."
"This is the Face Reality 8% L-Mandelic Acid Serum and my skin freaking drinks it up literally like an almond milk milkshake. I've been using the 8% and I think I'm about ready to graduate to the 11% that they have. This comes from bitter almonds, it's gentle, it's safe for acne, it's exfoliating, it's brightening, it's hydrating, and this is part of my skin routine. The fact that this brand, Face Reality, actually sells it at different concentrations allows people to partake in that micro-dosing if they want to."
