Complex of AHAs & BHA: Fruit acid peeling for clear and radiant skin

A complex of AHA acid and BHA acid is a proven approach to gently exfoliate the skin while caring for it. The combination of these acids provides an effective AHA-BHA peeling (so-called chemical peeling) for an optimal balance between surface and deep cleansing: – AHAs dissolve dead skin cells on the surface and promote cell renewal. They improve skin texture and provide more moisture as well as a more even, radiant complexion. – The BHA salicylic acid penetrates deeper into the pores, removes excess sebum, has anti-inflammatory effects, and is therefore ideal for skin prone to impurities and acne.

Alpha hydroxy acids (short: AHAs) are natural acids. Since they occur in various fruits, they are also called fruit acids. The complex we use contains lactic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid. In cosmetics, AHAs are true all-rounders. Alpha hydroxy acids can penetrate the upper layers of the skin and gently remove dead skin cells as a natural AHA peel. This promotes skin renewal. 

In addition, they provide moisture to the skin. They can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation, making the skin look smoother and more radiant. Another "superpower" of alpha hydroxy acids is their ability to stimulate collagen synthesis, which can lead to firmer and more elastic skin.

This organic acid comes in the form of a very fine, white powder and is often used in cosmetics in exfoliants because it acts keratolytically and gently exfoliates. It is also called an exfoliant, which means that the ingredient can loosen dead skin cells and thus smooth the skin.

Especially oily and acne-prone skin benefits from a BHA peel like salicylic acid, as it can penetrate deep into the pores, remove excess sebum, reduce inflammation, and help soothe the skin and minimize redness. This way, AHAs and BHAs can naturally improve the skin's appearance.
