The quest for luminous, smooth, radiant skin is a goal shared by many of us. To achieve this, the right skincare routine is essential, and products containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) are often recommended for their ability to exfoliate the skin. Among Dr Renaud's must-have exfoliating skincare products, Dr Renaud's AHA Peeling Foam stands out for its innovative formula, enriched with 5 AHAs for gentle yet effective exfoliation.
In this article, we'll explore the 5 AHAs used in our peel foam and find out why they're so beneficial for your skin.
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is probably the best known of the AHAs, and for good reason. Derived from sugar cane, this acid has the smallest molecular size of all the AHAs, allowing it to penetrate deep into the skin. The result? Smoother, brighter skin, and a visible reduction in fine lines and pigmentation spots.
Glycolic acid is particularly effective for dull, congested skin. It also stimulates collagen production, helping to firm skin over time.
Lactic acid
Lactic acid is another popular AHA, often recommended for sensitive skin. Derived from milk but also from certain fruits, notably blueberries, as in our peel foam, this acid is known for its gentle exfoliating power, as well as being moisturising. It's ideal for those looking for effective exfoliation without irritation.
Lactic acid also helps maintain skin hydration, making it an excellent choice for dry or dehydrated skin.
Citric Acid
Derived from citrus fruits including lemons and oranges, citric acid is a powerful antioxidant that, in addition to its exfoliating properties, helps protect the skin from the free radicals responsible for premature ageing. This AHA is also known for its ability to even out skin tone and lighten brown spots.
Citric acid helps to restore the skin's pH balance, promoting healthier, more resistant skin.
Malic acid
Malic acid is an AHA derived from apples and pears, and also from maple syrup. It is often used to boost the effectiveness of other AHAs, as it has the ability to penetrate the skin more slowly and provide prolonged, gradual exfoliation. It is also known for its moisturising effect and gentle action, making it a good choice for sensitive or irritated skin.
Malic acid helps even out skin tone and refine skin texture, leaving it radiant and smooth.
Tartaric acid
Tartaric acid is an AHA found in many fruits. It is used to regulate the pH of cosmetic products, optimising the effectiveness of other AHAs. It also provides gentle, gradual exfoliation, helping to smooth the skin and improve its overall radiance.
Tartaric acid works in synergy with the other AHAs to provide complete exfoliation without damaging the skin.
