So what are AHAs?

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of plant and animal-derived acids used in a variety of skincare products. These include daily anti-aging products, such as serums, toners, and creams, as well as occasional concentrated treatments via chemical peels…

AHAs are primarily used to exfoliate. They can also help:

  • correct discoloration from scars and age spots

  • improve appearance of surface lines and wrinkles

  • brighten your complexion

1. Exfoliation

AHAs are primarily used to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliation refers to a process where surface skin cells shed off. This helps remove dead skin cells but also makes way for new skin cell generation.

As you age, your natural skin cell cycle slows down, which makes dead skin cells build up. When you have too many dead skin cells, they can accumulate and make your complexion look dull.

Dead skin cell accumulation can also enhance other underlying skin issues, such as: wrinkles, age spots and acne.

2. Brighten your skin

When these acids exfoliate your skin, dead skin cells are broken down. The new skin revealed beneath is brighter and more radiant. AHAs can help break down skin cell accumulation, whilst at the same time can brighten your skin even further.

3. Fine lines & Wrinkles

AHAs are known for their anti-aging effects, and surface lines are no exception. The AHA peel contains 10% lactic acid solution which is scientifically proven formula to sweep away visible signs of aging and sun exposure.

Still, it’s important to remember that AHAs work for surface lines and wrinkles only, not deeper wrinkles. If your looking for other options to target the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles you might want to look at our galvanic facial spa.

4. Skin tone & Discolouration

Your risk for skin discoloration increases with age. For example, flat brown spots, known as age spots may develop as a result of sun exposure. They tend to develop on areas of the body that are exposed to the sun most often, such as your chest, hands, and face.

Discoloration may also result from:
Melasma
Post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation
Acne scars

AHAs promote skin cell turnover. New skin cells are evenly pigmented. In theory, long-term use of AHAs may reduce skin discoloration by encouraging the old, discoloured skin cells to turn over.

The target audience for 180º AHA Facial Peel and Neutraliser is ‘men and women aged 35+ who want to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve their skin tone and texture and protect their skin from the visible signs of excessive sun exposure.
