Mandelic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with dual action abilities to treat acne: it's anti-bacterial and exfoliating. Mandelic is especially well-suited for acne because its larger molecular size allows it to penetrate slowly, lowering the risk of irritation. What this means is you get effective exfoliation without triggering additional inflammation in the skin.

BiON Mandelic 8% Serum
$63
BiON Mandelic 8% Serum: this potent mandelic acid serum has antibacterial properties, regulates sebum production to help prevent the recurrence of outbreaks, clears pores, exfoliates, and increases cell turnover. For issues of hyperpigmentation and melasma, mandelic acid breaks up discoloration caused by such things as sun damage, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and hormones.
What makes this serum so special is that every other ingredient amplifies or compliments Mandelic Acid's properties. Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, and Lactic Acid combine to reduce inflammation, exfoliate dead skin, increase cell turnover, strengthen collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin texture and appearance.
