Mandelic acid, also known as phenylglycolic acid, was first extracted from peach and willow leaves and has the same source as salicylic acid. Mandelic acid is a lipophilic fruit acid with high affinity to the skin, strong penetration, and milder effect than glycolic acid. Because its chemical structure is similar to antibiotics, it can inhibit the proliferation of a variety of bacteria. Its good lipophilicity and antibacterial properties make mandelic acid have the effect of inhibiting Propionibacterium acnes, improving the blockage of pilosebaceous ducts, and also having obvious effects on improving photoaging and post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Besides，it can be used in the pharmaceutical industry as intermediate methyl benzoylformate, cefamandole, vasodilator Cyclandelate, eyedrops Hydrobenzole, cylert etc, also can be used as a preservative. Used as a chemical reagent for organic synthesis. Used as pesticide raw materials and intermediates, dye intermediates, etc..
