Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

Alpha Hydroxy Acids are a family of naturally occurring mild acids that work as exfoliants. By speeding up the skin’s own natural shedding process (which slows down as we age), they encourage the skin to slough off dead cells, allowing newer ones to reach the surface more quickly and evenly. Glycolic acid, the AHA of choice, is a discriminatory exfoliator, as it only affects the dead cells.
