What is AHA
AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), a group of acids naturally found in fruits, sugar cane and sometimes milk. Our products are all natural and organic, so they do not contain milk.
AHAs are a group of acids naturally found in certain foods. AHAs are used to naturally exfoliate the skin.
AHAs work by loosening the top layer of dead skin cells by breaking down the sticky substance that holds skin cells together. This stimulates the skin to grow more cells and increase cell turnover.

When combining both AHA/BHA

Talk to your doctor if you want to use both AHA and BHA products for various skin problems. Excessive skin irritation can worsen skin condition and appearance. Some types of this AHA are less aggressive and stacks better with BHA.
Products containing hydroxy acids may not need to be used daily. This helps with skin irritation when multiple products are needed. Spot skin treatments with various products can also help avoid general skin irritation. For example, someone might try to apply an anti-aging or sun damage repair product all over their face, but treat areas of the skin that have acne with a product containing BHA.
