- Efficacy Testing
Effect of Mandelic Acid on Skin Photosensitivity
Result: Mandelic Acid induces less photosensitivity than glycolic acid
Twenty volunteers, ages 25-35 were treated with 10% acids for four weeks and exposed to UVB irradiation. Percent photosensitivity was calculated from the erythema index
In Vivo testing of effect of Mandelic Acid on Acne.
