BHA

BHA (beta-hydroxy acids) are popular chemical exfoliants. They stand out from other exfoliants due to their ability to penetrate deeply into the pores to dislodge dead cells and impurities, thereby helping to reduce blemishes.

Hello again

What is the difference between BHA and AHA?

The BHA is liposoluble and penetrates more deeply into the pores, while the AHA is water-soluble and primarily acts on the surface to exfoliate dead cells.

What is the most commonly used BHA in cosmetics?

The most commonly used BHA is salicylic acid.

Can BHA be applied in the morning?

Unlike most AHAs, BHAs are not photosensitising and can be used in the morning.

How long does it take to see results with BHAs?

An improvement in skin texture and a reduction in blemishes typically begin to be observed after 4 to 6 weeks of regular use.

How frequently can we use BHA?

It is generally recommended to use BHA 2 to 3 times a week, but the frequency can vary depending on skin sensitivity and the recommendations of each product.
