Exfoliants

For safe and effective use of exfoliants, it is important to gradually introduce them into your daily care routine. Start with low concentrations and use the products 1-2 times a week, gradually increasing the frequency if necessary. Pay attention to skin reactions and avoid overuse to prevent irritation. It is also important to apply sunscreen every morning, as exfoliating acids increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. Combining different types of acids can be beneficial, but always consult a dermatologist or esthetician before starting a new treatment.

​Combining AHA, BHA and PHA acids can be effective, but should be done with caution. For example, you can alternate their use on different days or apply to different areas of the face depending on the needs of the skin. 

To begin with, it is better to consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist to determine the optimal application scheme. 

Combining different acids can improve skin texture, even tone, and reduce acne breakouts, but overuse can lead to irritation, redness, and flaking. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balance and take into account the individual characteristics of the skin.

AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) products are great for dry and mature skin. They contribute to exfoliation of the upper layer of dead cells, stimulate skin renewal processes and increase its hydration. AHA acids, such as glycolic and lactic, are effective in fighting pigmentation, wrinkles and uneven texture. It is important to note that for people with sensitive skin, these products can be quite active, so it is recommended to start with a low concentration and gradually increase it as needed.

BHA (beta hydroxy acid) products, particularly salicylic acid, are known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. They effectively clean pores, penetrating deeper into the skin, dissolve sebum and reduce inflammation. This makes BHA products ideal for oily and acne-prone combination skin. Regular use of BHA acids helps reduce blackheads, reduce sebum production and prevent new breakouts.

PHA (polyhydroxy acids) are milder analogues of AHA acids and are ideal for sensitive skin. They have larger molecules, which allows them to penetrate the skin more slowly and gently, reducing the risk of irritation. PHA acids, such as gluconolactone and lactobionic acid, not only exfoliate, but also moisturize the skin, making it soft and smooth. They also have antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
