WHAT ARE FRUIT ACIDS?
The name fruit acids include both AHA and BHA. AHA stands for alpha hydroxy acid, which are water-soluble acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid and malic acid. BHA stands for beta hydroxy acid and this includes the fat-soluble acid salicylic acid.
How does an AHA fruit acid peeling work?
An AHA fruit acid peeling softens the sealant substance (glue) between dead skin cells in the stratum corneum. We therefore call this a softening substance. Softening this sealant substance results in the dead skin cells peeling off more easily and quickly. The skin becomes visibly smoother, fuller and more even in complexion. A fruit acid peeling also stimulates the skin to produce new collagen.
How does a BHA salicylic acid peel work?
Salicylic acid is a fat-dissolving substance. Salicylic acid works in the pores, where it can soften and dissolve sebum blockages. A salicylic acid peel is often used for oily/combination skin or locally on areas with many clogged pores (nose, forehead). The advantage of salicylic acid is that it can also be applied locally to make cleansing easier.
