  • Reveal Your Hiding Glow

    Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are natural exfoliators. These water-soluble acids have been shown to weaken and dissolve the protein structures that bond dead skin cells to the topmost layer of the skin. By removing this “glue” layer, AHAs support the gentle shedding of dead skin cell flakes that clog pores and cause dullness, rough texture, and uneven skin tone.

    Benefits Beyond Brightness

    AHA skincare products are not only for brightening! AHAs are also powerful humectants that attract moisture and lock hydration deep within. Perfect for those who are hesitant to use exfoliators because they have dry skin, aging skin, and/or sensitive skin, AHAs gently remove accumulated debris without stripping the skin of its essential moisture.

  • An Anti-Aging Powerhouse

    AHAs are often overlooked as anti-aging ingredients. By sloughing away dead skin cells and other harmful debris, AHAs can promote skin cell turnover and stimulate collagen production. The result is a complexion that’s smooth, firm, supple, and bouncy. Reveal a youthful, vibrant complexion with our AHA skincare products. Discover your new anti-aging holy grail!

FAQs

What are the different types of AHAs used in skincare products?

The most common AHA options are mandelic acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid. Mandelic acid is derived from bitter almonds, glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane, and lactic acid is derived from milk.

Do AHAs reduce wrinkles and fine lines?

Yes, AHA skincare products can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating cellular renewal and collagen production.

What should you not mix with AHA?

Because AHAs remove the topmost layer of dead skin cells, the fresh skin below may be vulnerable to potent skincare ingredients, such as retinol, niacinamide, and vitamin C.

Can I use AHA with hyaluronic acid?

Yes, in general, hyaluronic acid pairs well with AHAs because it can soothe, smooth, and hydrate the exfoliated skin.

What should I pair with AHA?

AHAs pair well with ingredients that soothe, hydrate, and repair skin, such as peptides, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid. After using AHA skincare products, it’s very important to apply sunscreen to protect the vulnerable, fresh skin from exposure to UV rays.

When should I moisturize after using an AHA?

You can apply moisturizer directly after using mandelic acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid skincare products. In addition to hydrating your skin, moisturizers can act as a protective barrier between fresh skin and external stressors.

How should I introduce AHA into my skincare routine?

If you have sensitive skin, you might want to introduce AHAs into your routine gradually. Make sure you’re using AHA products that contain other gentle ingredients. 

As long as your skin responds well to the first few applications, you should be able to use AHA skincare products according to the product’s instructions. Typically, people use AHAs 1-3 times per week.
