What does it do?
Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or AHAs, are a group of acids that exfoliate the skin by helping to shed dead skin cells and encourage the renewal of the skin cell layer. This helps to improve overall texture, moisture levels and softness, making the skin appear smoother and brighter.

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of acids that occur naturally in fruits, milk and sugar cane.

AHAs are suitable for all skin types except for sensitive skin.

AHAs pair well with soothing Aloe Vera.
However, you should avoid using AHAs and Retinol in the same routine. Instead, use AHAs in the morning or on alternate nights to Retinol.
