WHAT ARE AHA’S?

The most popular forms of AHAs are glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, and malic acid. They’re typically found in exfoliating toners, but are also commonly used ingredients in masks, cleansers, serums, and sometimes even moisturisers
AHAs work by breaking down the ‘glue’ that binds dead skin cells to the skin. Because they have a large molecule size, they primarily work on the top layers of the skin, so are beneficial for skin concerns like dry skin, texture, and hyperpigmentation, which typically only affect those upper layers. By removing dead and dry skin cells, they smooth skin texture, brighten skin tone, fade pigmentation, and can also reduce the chance of breakouts from occurring.
