Mandelic Acid Peels

Mandelic Acid Peels Of Rancho Cucamonga, Upland & Fontana
Mandelic acid peels are a type of alpha hydroxy (AHA) peel, similar to glycolic acid and lactic acid peels. Because mandelic acid molecules are larger than both that of glycolic and lactic acid, mandelic peels are less penetrating and irritating, but still very effective for treating damaged skin.
