🔍The Hidden Benefits of Mandelic Acid: The Unsung Hero for Sensitive Skin

Mandelic acid, a member of the AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) family, is often overshadowed by its more famous cousins like glycolic acid or lactic acid. Yet, it boasts unique properties that make it an excellent choice for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.

Why is mandelic acid a game changer?

Gentle exfoliation:

With larger molecules compared to glycolic acid, it penetrates the skin more slowly, reducing the risk of irritation.

Blemish reduction:

Even skin tone:

Who is it ideal for?

• Those with sensitive skin that doesn’t tolerate other AHAs well.

• People with combination to oily skin prone to mild acne.

• Anyone looking for a glow without compromising on gentleness.

How to use it?

• Start by incorporating it into your routine once or twice a week.

• Pair it with good hydration to prevent dryness.

💡 Skinvestment Tip: Try a serum containing 5-10% mandelic acid to maximize its benefits while keeping your skin happy and healthy.

👩🏼‍💻Goodbye Blue Light Stress: Are Anti-Blue Light Creams Effective?

With our constantly connected lives, blue light from screens has become a real enemy for the skin. It penetrates deeply into skin cells, promoting oxidative stress, premature aging, and even dark spots. But how effective are these creams that claim to protect our skin?

What do these products promise?

A shield against blue light:

Thanks to active ingredients like microalgae extract or specific antioxidants, these creams promise to absorb or block harmful rays.

Enhanced hydration:

Effectiveness: Myth or Reality?

Dermatologists agree that blue light has a damaging effect on the skin, causing oxidative stress that accelerates skin aging and can worsen issues like hyperpigmentation. However, scientific evidence about the actual effectiveness of anti-blue light creams remains limited. These products, often enriched with antioxidants and mineral pigments, offer partial protection. Still, they cannot replace essential practices, such as daily sunscreen application, which also protects against visible light, including blue light.

That said, for urban skin or those frequently exposed to screens, these creams can be an interesting addition. They provide extra support by strengthening the skin barrier and neutralizing some free radicals, even though they cannot fully block blue light’s effects.

💡 Our advice: Combine these creams with a routine rich in antioxidants for optimal results, and lower your screen brightness or use a blue light filter.
