    Spokesperson claims antimicrobial activity is technology. Looking at formulas and copy, Mandelic acid (Hydroxy-phenylacetic acid) appears to be their active.

    Anyone have relevant experience with the product or that compound?

    Haven’t used it myself but it’s an alpha hydroxy acid and yes, they claim it is an antibacterial.

    I suppose based on papers like these. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33402087/
