The Guru Index verdict
Approved
✓Approved · 78%What the gurus are saying
Dermatologists recommend mandelic acid as an ideal starting exfoliant for dry and sensitive skin because it exfoliates slowly and gently without triggering pigmentation issues. The consensus is to use it at night only, since it leaves new skin exposed and vulnerable to sun damage and sensitivity the following day, making diligent morning sunscreen non-negotiable.
