FAQ about aha

What is the best AHA?
The choice depends on your skin type and concerns. Glycolic acid is often considered more effective for exfoliating and improving skin texture, while lactic acid provides a gentler exfoliation coupled with hydration.
Can AHA be used in the morning?
AHAs can make the skin more sensitive to the sun and should therefore preferably be used in the evening.
Can AHA reduce wrinkles?
By stimulating cellular renewal, AHA enhances the appearance of the skin and can help to reduce the signs of skin ageing.
Are AHAs suitable for sensitive skin?
Most AHAs are too irritating for sensitive skin. However, due to its significant molecular weight, lactic acid is an AHA considered gentle enough to be used by sensitive skin.
Can AHA be used daily?
Depending on the concentrations, AHAs can be used daily if the skin tolerates them well. However, it is recommended to start with more occasional use to avoid irritation and assess the skin's tolerance.
