AHA

Alpha Hydroxy Acid AHAs are a well-known class of chemical exfoliants with a small molecule size that penetrates deep into the skin’s surface, boosting skin-cell renewal and dissolving dull, dead skin cells. AHA’s are incredibly effective at reducing the appearance of uneven texture and tone, revealing brighter, more even-looking skin. Although effective, they can be irritating and cause sensitivity at high percentages which is why we have paired them with repairing PHAs and soothing actives for a non-stinging, skin-renewing experience.
