Alpha Hydroxy Acid
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are natural acids often found in fruits and milk. They work by gently loosening the "glue" that holds dead skin cells together, allowing them to shed more easily. This process reveals fresher, smoother skin and can help with issues like fine lines and uneven tone.
