Frequently Asked Questions
What is AHA in skincare?
AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid, a water-soluble acid used in skincare for exfoliating the skin, improving texture, and reducing fine lines.
How does AHA work on the skin?
AHA works by loosening the bonds between skin cells, allowing dead skin cells to be sloughed off and revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath.
What are the benefits of AHA for skin?
AHA improves skin texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, brightens complexion, fades dark spots, and helps prevent clogged pores.
Can AHA be used on all skin types?
Yes, AHA is suitable for all skin types, though those with sensitive skin should start with a lower concentration and gradually increase usage.
How often should I use AHA products?
Start by using AHA 2-3 times a week and gradually increase frequency based on how your skin responds. Always follow up with sunscreen during the day.
Can AHA help with acne scars?
Yes, AHA can help fade post-acne hyperpigmentation and improve skin texture, making it an excellent choice for treating acne scars.
Can I use AHA and retinol together?
It’s generally not recommended to use AHA and retinol at the same time, as both are strong exfoliants. Use them on alternate nights for best results.
What’s the difference between AHA and BHA?
AHA is water-soluble and works on the surface of the skin, making it ideal for dry or sun-damaged skin, while BHA (Salicylic Acid) is oil-soluble and penetrates deeper, making it ideal for acne-prone skin.
How long does it take to see results from AHA?
With consistent use, you may begin to see noticeable results in 2-4 weeks, including smoother texture and more radiant skin.
Do I need sunscreen when using AHA?
Yes, AHA increases sun sensitivity, so it’s essential to wear sunscreen daily when using AHA products to prevent sun damage and irritation.
