Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is mandelic acid and how does it benefit the skin?

A: Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. It is known for being one of the gentlest AHAs, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells to promote gentle exfoliation, which helps reveal brighter, smoother skin. It also supports cell renewal, reduces acne, fades pigmentation, and hydrates the skin — all in one step.

Q: Is this mandelic acid serum suitable for sensitive skin?

A: Yes! The West Month Mandelic Acid Facial Essence is formulated to be mild enough for sensitive skin types. Unlike stronger AHAs like glycolic acid, mandelic acid has a larger molecular size, meaning it penetrates skin more slowly and gently, reducing the risk of irritation or redness. Always perform a patch test before first use.

Q: Can I use this serum every day?

A: It's best to start with every other day or every few days to allow your skin to adjust to the exfoliating action. Once your skin is comfortable, you can gradually increase to daily use. Always apply sunscreen during the day when using AHA-based products, as they can increase skin sensitivity to UV rays.

Q: How long before I see results from this face serum?

A: Most users notice softer, more hydrated skin within the first few uses. For visible improvements in pigmentation, fine lines, and overall brightness, consistent use over 4–8 weeks is generally recommended.
