WHAT DOES ALPHA-HYDROXY ACID DO FOR YOUR SKIN?

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA), organic acids often found in plants, exfoliate and hydrate for brighter, younger-looking skin over time. They easily penetrate skin’s surface to help eliminate dead cells and offer an alternative to harsh physical exfoliants.

Over time, AHAs may help to improve skin texture and tone, fade dark spots, smooth fine lines, surface wrinkles, and reduce the visible signs of aging.

THE SCIENCES

Naturally found in fruits, sugar cane and milk, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are  chemical exfoliating agents that slough off dead skin cells. Removing the dead surface cell build-up visibly brightens skin and smooths rough texture, while helping skincare ingredients be effectively absorbed into the skin.

The primary benefit of AHAs for skin is that it contains very small molecules. The molecules’ sizes allow them to sink in for long-term exfoliating benefits. When combined with other types of acids, like beta- or poly-hydroxy acids, they offer multi-action resurfacing that makes skin glow, evens out rough skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
