1. DESCRIPTION OF AHA COMPLEX:
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of natural acids derived from fruits, milk and sugar cane. They are known for their ability to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin and promote skin renewal. AHAs are particularly popular in skin care for dry and mature skin as they help to improve skin texture and increase moisture retention.
2. EFFECT OF AHA COMPLEX:
AHAs work to exfoliate by breaking the bonds between dead skin cells, making it easier for them to slough off. This regenerating effect results in smoother, brighter skin. AHAs can also stimulate collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Their moisturizing properties are particularly beneficial for dry skin , while their ability to improve skin texture makes them attractive for other skin types as well.
3. USE OF AHA COMPLEX:
The AHA Complex is found in a variety of skin care products, including the " Purifying Tonic " from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT. When using products containing AHAs, it is important to use sunscreen as they can make the skin more sensitive to light.
