AHA

AHAs are water-soluble components derived from natural substances such as sugar cane, almonds, milk, grapes, and citrus fruits. They work to peel away the surface of the skin in a targeted manner to remove rough, uneven skin texture, visible signs of sun damage, winkles and enlarged pores. AHAs are recommended for normal to dry, mature, and sun damaged skin because they are powerful humectants that can improve the skin's natural moisturizing factors in the skin.

BHA

BHAs are oil-soluble acids that work on the surface of the skin and in deeper parts of the skin to dissolve the keratin plugs, bacteria, and grime that has built up on the skin's surface so that pores can remain clear and free from irritants. BHA is most beneficial for oily, combination, acne-prone skin and those looking to treat superficial acne, like whiteheads, blackheads, breakouts, and small red pimples.

PHA

PHA is AHA's little sister and has a larger molecular size than AHAs, which makes them slower to penetrate the skin. That means it doesn't exfoliate as hard as glycolic acid and causes less irritation and redness than AHAs, making it suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. They remove dead skin cells and excess buildup on the surface, resulting in a more even skin tone and texture. It also helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne scars while increasing cell renewal.
