I think mandelic acid is going to rock my world
My main pieces of reading about mandelic acid have been these:
I have the 10% stuff from Garden of Wisdom, and (having done a patch test on my chin already) I put it all over my face last night. I was looking for help with hyperpigmentation, hoping that a few weeks of use would show a difference, and not paying attention to the "loosens blackheads* for easy extraction" business I might have noticed on MAC's website.
This morning, what? Tiny dark spots on my face, a little more so than usual. Oh, you wanna come out, I guess. Squeeze gently once: amber-colored gunk core comes LEAPING from skin, does a little caper on my fingers and disappears.
Huh! That was easy. Who else wants out?
Twice a week it is, then. :D
* Even though we know now that they're sebaceous filaments, we don't like them any better. Do we, my precioussss?
