Information
Alpha HydroxyAcids work to help increase the rate of cell-turnover. If your skin looks tired, or dry, of if you wake up one morning and wonder where all of the wrinkles came from- it's time for a little AHA. It will perk you right up. They're also potent water binders so you'll notice that your skin looks firmer and more hydrated.
AHA's are available in many forms and most of them are derived from fruit acids- citric, malic, and glycolic are all AHA's. We use 8% lactic acid with a final pH of 3.5 in ours, and I prefer it to some of the heavier ones because it's a lot less irritating than something like glycolic.
AHA's are some pretty serious business- they remove layers of skin. If you've never used them before you need a little time to adjust to them. In the beginning your skin can "purge" and you can get some pimples from them- even if you're not acne prone- so please don't use this a few days before a big event. If you're really acne-prone using it in combination with our BHA toner helps. It takes about 2 weeks for your skin to normalize and look better.
Use AHA's at night, and then rinse them off in the morning. If you're new to them just use them every other day until your skin gets used to them. You really don't have to use them all the time to get the effect.
You get a 4-ounce(120 ml) bottle.
