WHERE DO AHAS COME FROM?

AHAs are a group of naturally occurring acids, primarily found in fruits and vegetables. They work by exfoliating the outer layer of skin, revealing newer, younger-looking skin cells underneath. The most commonly used AHAs in skin care products are glycolic acid (from sugar cane), lactic acid (from milk), citric acid (from lemons), and malic acid (from apples).

WHAT DO AHAS DO FOR THE SKIN?

The properties of AHAs vary depending on their concentration:
