Mandelic acid has been used in medicine for many years as a urinary antiseptic. Methenamine mandelate (Mandelamine®, Parke-Davis, Morris Plains, NJ) has the urinary antiseptic action of both methenamine and mandelic acid. In concentrations of 35g to 50g/100L of urine, it inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, bacillus proteus, escher ichia col i , and aerobacter aerogenes. Chemically, mandelic acid has a structure similar to that of other well-known antibiotics.4 It is a nontoxic substance that, after…

MICROBIOLOGICAL EVALUATION AND PRESERVATIVE EFFICIENCY OF NEW MANDELIC ACID DERIVATIVES IN OINTMENTS
TLDR
The tested mandelic acid esters proved to have a very good preservative action and could be used to preserve ointments in 0.0125 g % and respectively 0.05 g % concentrations.
Mandelic acid chemical peel in Acne vulgaris : A boon or a bane ?
TLDR
In this study, lower concentration mandelic acid proved to be safe and effective in Indian populatio n with darker skin types, with fewer side effects which were short lived and preventable.
[Use of organic acids in acne and skin discolorations therapy].
TLDR
Using exfoliating agents seems to be helpful in excessive keratinization - one of several factors responsible for acne, which is one of the most frequent skin disorders that occurs in puberty.
Influence of azelaic and mandelic acid peels on sebum secretion in ageing women
TLDR
Peels with 20% azelaic acid and 40% mandelic acid might be considered treatments which contribute to an increase in sebum secretion in ageing women.
Chemical Peels for Melasma in Dark-Skinned Patients
TLDR
The traditional glycolic peels prove to be the best both in terms of safety as well as efficacy, but lactic acid peels being relatively inexpensive and having shown equally good results in a few studies, definitely need further experimentation.
CCID_A_182317 363..369
TLDR
The results suggested that the studied compound could be considered as a “maintenance treatment” after specific pharmacological treatment, even in more severe types of acne.
Comparative study of efficacy and safety of 45% mandelic acid versus 30% salicylic acid peels in mild‐to‐moderate acne vulgaris
TLDR
Mandelic acid (MA) is a new emerging peeling agent for AV owing to its antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory properties and it is worthwhile to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of this newer agent and to compare it with an older established peelingAgent, salicylic acid (SA) in the treatment of AV.
Clinical evidence on the efficacy and tolerability of a topical medical device containing benzoylperoxide 4%, retinol 0.5%, mandelic acid 1% and lactobionic acid 1% in the treatment of mild facial acne: an open label pilot study
TLDR
The results suggested that the studied compound could be considered as a “maintenance treatment” after specific pharmacological treatment, even in more severe types of acne.
Evidence-Based Treatment for Melasma: Expert Opinion and a Review
TLDR
A panel of eminent dermatologists was created and their expert opinion was sought to address lacunae in information to arrive at a working algorithm for optimizing outcome in Indian patients, and this algorithm is expected to act as a basis for guiding and refining therapy in the future.
Antifeedant and Insecticidal Effects of Mandelic Acid on the Brown Planthopper Nilaparvata lugens Stål
TLDR
The results indicate that MA has an antifeedant and insecticidal effect on BPH, and the survival rate of BPH decreased with the increase of the MA concentration and feeding time.
