AHA FOR YOUR SKIN CARE
An indispensable ally for radiant and smooth skin.
Discover the power of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), especially glycolic acid, a star among fruit acids. Known for its effective and gentle exfoliation, glycolic acid supports flawless skin regeneration and ensures a refined, youthful complexion overnight.
The most important facts in brief
- Effective and gentle exfoliation : As an AHA, glycolic acid promotes skin renewal by removing dead skin cells and gives the skin a refined, youthful appearance with extra glow.
- Promotes skin health: Supports the reduction of pigmentation spots and signs of ageing and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin for improved skin elasticity.
- Improves skin hydration: Increases the skin's ability to bind water, ensures long-lasting hydration and prevents dehydration.
What is AHA?
Alpha hydroxy acids are a group of water-soluble acids obtained from natural sources such as sugar cane, milk and fruit. Glycolic acid, the smallest and most active AHA, is characterized by its deep-acting ability to efficiently remove dead skin cells and reach deeper layers of the skin.
Effect of AHA on the skin
The effect of glycolic acid and other AHAs on the skin is diverse and includes:
Promotes cell renewal: AHAs such as glycolic acid support the natural renewal of the skin by removing dead cells and thus stimulating the regeneration of new skin cells.
Refining skin texture: AHAs contained in our Glycolic Night Booster act as a softener for the skin, making it smoother and more even while reducing large pores.
Reduction of pigmentation spots and sun damage: By accelerating the cell turnover rate, AHAs help to visibly reduce pigmentation spots, acne scars and other signs of skin ageing.
Stimulation of collagen and elastin: Regular use of glycolic acid can stimulate collagen production, resulting in firmer, plumper skin.
Improves skin hydration: Glycolic acid increases the skin's ability to bind water and thus ensures lasting hydration without dehydration.

The correct use of AHA
For optimal use of glycolic acid in your skincare routine, please note the following:
Choose a product with the right concentration: products such as the 12% Glycolic Night Booster are ideal for an effective night treatment.
Application in the evening: Apply products containing glycolic acid in the evening, as they can make the skin more sensitive to light. This maximizes the regeneration processes during sleep.
Combination with sun protection: To protect the skin from UV rays, it is essential to apply sun protection the day after using AHA products.
Regular use: For long-term results, consistent use is important to ensure continued improvement in skin texture and hydration.
FAQ - AHA for skin care
Glycolic acid is particularly effective on normal to oily skin, but can cause irritation on very sensitive skin. A skin tolerance test is recommended.
Typical reactions may include slight redness and tingling. If reactions are more severe, use should be reduced or discontinued. A dermatologist can advise you on this.
The frequency of application of glycolic acid depends on skin type and tolerance. For most skin types, we recommend starting with one application two to three times a week to get the skin used to the acid. If it is well tolerated, the frequency of application can be gradually increased. It is important to pay attention to the skin's reaction and reduce the application if there are signs of over-irritation such as persistent redness, burning or dryness.
