Alpha-Hydroxy Acids

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (or AHAs) essentially originate from milk and fruit sugars. They exfoliate the skin by effectively removing that top layer of the epidermis, that makes way for new skin. They help to reduce the likelihood that wrinkles will develop, make skin smoother and can help skin that’s uneven or hyperpigmented become more even. Lactic, Glycolic, Malic, Citric and Tartaric acids are all types of Alpha Hydroxyls.
