What are AHA and BHA and why are they combined?
A combination of AHA and BHA acids offer w well-established method for gentle exfoliation while also nourishing the skin. This effective AHA-BHA peel- commonly referred to as a chemical exfoliant- strikes the perfect balance between surface renewal and deep pore cleansing.
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) gently dissolve dead skin cells on the surface, stimulate cell renewal, and improve skin texture. They also boost hydration and contribute to a more even, radiant complexion.
Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA), specifically salicylic acid, penetrates deep into the pores to remove excess sebum. With its anti-inflammatory properties, it’s especially beneficial for blemish-prone and acne-prone skin.
Things Worth Knowing About PHA
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are naturally occurring acids found in various fruits, which is why they’re often referred to as fruit acids. The AHA complex we use includes lactic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid- each known for their beneficial effects on the skin. In cosmetics, AHAs are true multi-talents. Alpha-Hydroxy Acids can penetrate the upper skin layers and gently remove dead skin cells there as a natural AHA peeling. This promotes skin renewal.
This organic acid appears as a fine white powder and is commonly used in cosmetic peels for its keratolytic and gentle exfoliating properties. As a natural exfoliant, it helps loosen and remove dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more refined texture.
In addition to providing hydration, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids can minimise the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation- leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and more radiant. Another key benefit of AHAs is their ability to stimulate collagen production, which can improve skin firmness and elasticity over time.
Oily and acne-prone skin especially benefits from BHA exfoliants like salicylic acid, which can penetrate deep into the pores to remove excess sebum, reduce inflammation, and help soothe the skin- minimising redness and irritation. Together, AHAs and BHAs offer a natural and effective way to improve overall skin texture and appearance.
