MEET THE NEW AHA

AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid. It is a type of exfoliant particularly recommended for dry & sun-damaged skin – though it possesses benefits for all skin types. AHA works to remove dead cells from the skin's surface in a gentle way, whilst also carrying anti-ageing properties and simultaneously brightening & hydrating the skin.

Because dead skin accumulates gradually, most people don’t realise that it’s dulling their complexion and contributing to other issues. Even if you already have great skin, adding this step can help it look even more radiant. Remember, there’s much more to exfoliation than just smoothing skin. The best exfoliants enhance hydration, improve the efficacy of the rest of your skincare routine and target key concerns as highlighted throughout this article.

The SKIN PERFECTING 6% Mandelic Acid + 2% Lactic Acid Liquid Exfoliant contains a probiotic-fermented plant antioxidant blend consisting of cherry blossom, chocolate vine and bayberry (also known as yumberry), which help to support a healthy microbiome and skin barrier. The fermentation creates healthy postbiotics and nutrients that have an anti-ageing effect on the skin. This fermented antioxidant blend also helps to reduce redness, firm the skin and improve uneven tone. In short, a healthy skin microbiome contributes to the integrity of the skin barrier; indeed, the skin’s microbiome is sometimes referred to as skin’s invisible barrier.

Yes, using an AHA and BHA in the same routine can provide advanced results for those experiencing multiple skin concerns. Many people find that alternating AHA and BHA exfoliants is the perfect solution to address their unique concerns.
