What is AHA ?

AHA is a famous cosmetic ingredient derived from fruits, nuts, milk, or sugars.

AHA is hydrophilic (attracted to water) and breaks down the bonds between cells (desmosomes) to allow for easier exfoliation.

The most commonly used AHA is glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, and citric acid.

Lactic acid (derived from milk and sugars) is antimicrobial, hydrating, inhibits pigment, and adjusts pH.

Why are AHAs used in some cosmetics?[2]

Products containing AHAs are marketed for a variety of purposes, such as smoothing fine lines and surface wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone,

unblocking and cleansing pores, and improving skin conditions in general.

Sometimes AHAs are used in cosmetics for other purposes, such as to adjust the pH (the degree of acidity or alkalinity).

How do AHAs work?[2]

AHA-containing products cause exfoliation or shedding of the surface skin.

The extent of exfoliation depends on the type and concentration of the AHA, its pH, and other ingredients in the product.
