Green Envee Mandelic Resurfacing Serum 8% is for when skin looks dull, uneven or simply isn’t reflecting the light the way you’d like it to. This resurfacing serum helps smooth rough texture, refine the appearance of pores, improve uneven tone and bring back a fresh, luminous look.
Size: 1 oz
What Makes It Different
Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size than glycolic acid, so it penetrates the skin more slowly. That slower action makes it an appealing option when you want effective resurfacing with a more gradual approach. It helps revive tired-looking skin and improve uneven texture, visible pores and discoloration, while also being a great choice for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Brighter, More Even Tone: Helps brighten lackluster skin and improve the look of dark spots and discoloration.
- Smoother Texture: Resurfaces rough, uneven skin for a softer, more refined feel.
- Clearer Pores: Refines the look of visible pores and helps keep congestion and breakouts in check.
- Works for Most Skin Types: Suits oily, combination and blemish-prone skin, and it’s gentle enough for many dry skin types too.
- A Fresh, Luminous Finish: Leaves skin looking fresh, smooth and radiant.
Key Ingredients
- Mandelic Acid: Resurfaces the skin’s surface to help improve uneven tone, rough texture, visible pores and the appearance of dark spots while helping keep pores clear.
- Lactic Acid: Exfoliates while helping support hydration, leaving skin looking smoother and more refined.
- Lactobionic Acid: A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that provides additional exfoliation while helping skin retain moisture.
- Jasmine and Botanical Flower Extracts: A blend of jasmine, rose, calendula, chamomile, licorice and daisy extracts helps condition and support the skin while providing antioxidant benefits.
How to Use
After cleansing and toning, apply one to two pumps to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Allow the serum to absorb, then follow with moisturizer as needed. Start a few times a week and increase frequency based on how your skin responds. Always wear broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using exfoliating acids.
Pila’s Tip: I love using this serum in the morning because it leaves skin looking so fresh and luminous. Mandelic acid is often thought of for oily or blemish-prone skin, but even my dry-skin clients love this one. Follow with moisturizer as needed, and always finish with broad-spectrum SPF.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is mandelic acid good for oily and acne-prone skin?
A: Yes. Mandelic acid is a good choice for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin because it exfoliates dead skin cells, helps keep pores clear and improves the look of post-breakout marks and uneven texture.
Q: Can you use mandelic acid on dry skin?
A: Yes. Dry skin can benefit from exfoliation too, particularly when dead skin cells leave skin looking flat and feeling rough. Mandelic acid works more gradually than some other AHAs, and many dry skin types tolerate it well.
Q: What does Green Envee Mandelic Resurfacing Serum 8% do?
A: It helps smooth rough texture, brighten tired, uneven-looking skin, refine the appearance of pores, improve dark spots and discoloration and keep congested pores clearer.
Q: Can I use it in the morning?
A: Yes. It can be used in a morning routine. Follow with moisturizer as needed and always apply broad-spectrum SPF as your final step.
Q: Can I use mandelic acid with retinal or the Pumpkin Glycolic Peel?
A: Yes, as part of a well-planned routine. Use Mandelic in the morning or on different nights from Retinal Renewal Complex, and skip it on the day you use the Pumpkin Glycolic Peel. Start slowly, add one product at a time, and keep your skin hydrated with H.A. Collagen Boosting Serum. If your skin feels sensitive, take a night off from actives.
Q: Does mandelic acid help with dark spots and uneven skin tone?
A: Yes. Mandelic acid exfoliates dead surface skin cells, helping improve the appearance of dark spots, post-breakout marks and uneven skin tone over time.
