Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of natural and synthetic acids commonly used in skin care products. They work by exfoliating the skin, which helps to remove dead skin cells and improve the texture and appearance of the skin. AHAs are water-soluble and work on the surface of the skin, making them ideal for use in facial skin care products.
There are several different types of AHAs, including glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid. Each type of AHA has its own unique benefits and properties, but they all work by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover. Our L-Hydra Moisturizer contains a balanced blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, with 12% Lactic Acid to provide immediate moisture and gentle exfoliation in a rich, emollient lotion to soften and moisturize severe, dry and flaky skin conditions, while the combined power of cactus and yeast extracts reduce irritation. Also, our Acne Control Serum and Acne Correction Pads also contain AHAs and are great products for the treatment of acne prone skin.
One of the primary benefits of AHAs is that they can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By exfoliating the skin, AHAs can help to stimulate collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
AHAs can also help to improve the texture and tone of the skin. By removing dead skin cells, AHAs can help to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. They can also help to reduce the appearance of sun damage, such as age spots and hyperpigmentation.
Another benefit of AHAs is that they can help to unclog pores and reduce the occurrence of acne. By exfoliating the skin, AHAs can help to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, which can help to prevent the development of acne and blackheads. Our Acne Control Serum and Acne Correction Pads are great products for this purpose.
However, it is important to use AHAs with caution, as they can cause dryness and irritation of the skin, especially at higher concentrations. It is important to start with a lower concentration and gradually increase the frequency of use if your skin tolerates it. It is also important to wear sunscreen when using products containing AHAs, as they can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
Overall, AHAs are an effective ingredient in facial skin care for those looking to improve the texture, tone, and appearance of their skin. They can help to exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
