    A true holy grail

    This product truly has transformed my skin. It is a must have for me, it helped to clear my dark spots and overall made my skin tone and texture much improved. I am in my 40s and will continue to have it in my routine, please never discontinue it. I dream of the day I can visit Sofie Pavitt in person for a facial!

    Actually works!

    This product is seriously amazing. I never leave reviews, but I want to let other people know how great it is. I’ve been dealing with mild acne for years, and it got worse after I switched birth control 2 years ago. I was on Adapalene for 8 years and my skin was continuing to break out and was equally oily and peeling, so I cut it out cold turkey and started on Spiro about 9-10 months ago. This helped a lot, but I was still dealing with some breakouts here and there. I started with this Mandelic 2 months ago and my skin is the clearest it’s been since I was a kid. I finally feel comfortable going out without makeup for the first time since high school, and my skin looks and feels soft, glowy and moisturized. I had 2 week slight purging period, and since then the improvement has been dramatic. I seriously cannot recommend this product enough. Obviously everyone’s skin is different, but if you are someone who’s just been dealing with mild stubborn acne for years, and using retinols to no avail, give this a shot! I used the Paula’s Choice Mandalic before this one and this product is far more effective. I go through a bottle every 6 weeks, and hope they release a larger size in the future!

    My new staple product!

    I experienced the worst bouts of cystic and hormonal acne throughout 2025. For reference, I’ve struggled with acne throughout my teens with it peaking during my 20s. I was able to gain control of it with a skincare line a cousin referred me to but it seems as though the formulas have since changed or that my skin has become resistant to them (who knows)! I stumbled across an esthetician on TikTok that recommended this product and in my desperation, since I already tried a million products, figured one more couldn’t hurt. Boy am I glad I took the leap!! I started using this in October and noticed a difference in my skin’s texture shortly after; to date it has significantly cleared my acne! It’s super mild on the skin so no need to worry if yours is on the sensitive side. I use as directed but in the evening. Stay consistent and this should help. Definitely a staple product in my skincare routine! Good luck to everyone in their acne journey <3
