1. DESCRIPTION OF AHA COMPLEX:

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are a group of natural acids derived from fruits, milk and sugar cane. They are known for their ability to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin and promote skin renewal. AHAs are particularly popular in skin care for dry and mature skin as they help to improve skin texture and increase moisture retention.

2. EFFECT OF AHA COMPLEX:

AHAs work to exfoliate by breaking the bonds between dead skin cells, making it easier for them to slough off. This regenerating effect results in smoother, brighter skin. AHAs can also stimulate collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Their moisturizing properties are particularly beneficial for dry skin , while their ability to improve skin texture makes them attractive for other skin types as well.

3. USE OF AHA COMPLEX:

The AHA Complex is found in a variety of skin care products, including the " Purifying Tonic " from DOC.BERGER | EFFECT. When using products containing AHAs, it is important to use sunscreen as they can make the skin more sensitive to light.

4. SKIN PROBLEMS AGAINST WHICH AHA COMPLEX IS EFFECTIVE:

  • Dry and mature skin: AHAs help hydrate the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Uneven skin texture: Exfoliation makes the skin smoother and more even.
  • Acne: AHAs can help open clogged pores and reduce the appearance of acne.
  • Pigment spots: AHAs can help lighten pigment spots when used regularly.
  • Sun-damaged skin: AHAs support the regeneration of sun-damaged skin.

WHAT IS THE AHA COMPLEX?

The AHA Complex, consisting of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, is a group of natural acids obtained from fruits, milk, and sugarcane. These acids are known for their ability to gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin and promote skin renewal. AHAs are particularly popular in skincare for dry and mature skin as they help improve skin texture and increase moisture retention.

PROPERTIES OF AHA COMPLEX IN SKIN CARE

The AHA Complex is a multifunctional active ingredient in skincare. It is characterized by its comprehensive properties ranging from gentle exfoliation to promoting skin renewal. Here is an overview of the essential benefits of this effective complex:

EXFOLIATING EFFECT OF AHA COMPLEX

AHA Complex, consisting of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, is known for its exfoliating effect. It gently removes dead skin cells from the skin's surface, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. This peeling property helps improve skin texture and gives it a fresher appearance.

PROMOTION OF SKIN RENEWAL

A key feature of AHA Complex is its ability to promote skin renewal. By removing dead skin cells, it stimulates the formation of new cells, contributing to the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of skin aging.

COMBATING SKIN IMPERFECTIONS AND ACNE

Thanks to its keratolytic properties, AHA Complex is effective in treating skin imperfections and acne. It helps open clogged pores and remove excess sebum, resulting in a clearer and healthier complexion.

BRIGHTENING EFFECT ON PIGMENT SPOTS

The AHA Complex can also help reduce pigment and sun spots. By promoting skin renewal, it contributes to brightening and achieving a more even skin tone.

SUPPORTING SKIN REGENERATION

Although AHA Complex does not provide direct UV protection, it supports skin regeneration after sun damage. It helps repair sun-damaged skin and prevents sunburn and photo-induced skin aging.

ACCELERATION OF WOUND HEALING

AHA Complex plays a role in speeding up the healing process of minor skin injuries. By promoting skin renewal, it can reduce the risk of scar formation.

Overall, the AHA Complex is an essential component in skincare that not only refines the skin's appearance but also promotes the natural beauty and health of the skin.

AHA COMPLEX AND SUNSCREEN

The use of products containing AHA Complex makes the skin more sensitive to light, which is why effective sun protection is essential. AHAs promote the removal of dead skin cells on the surface, exposing the fresher skin underneath to the sun. This young skin is more susceptible to UV damage, increasing the risk of sunburn and premature skin aging. Therefore, it is important to use a daily sunscreen with a high sun protection factor, especially when regularly using products with AHA Complex. Our Anti-Pollution Day Cream with SPF > 30 is ideal for this. It not only provides protection against harmful UV rays, but also against pollution and other external stress factors.

CONCLUSION ON AHA COMPLEX IN SKIN CARE

AHA Complex, a versatile group of alpha hydroxy acids, plays a central role in skincare. Through its gentle exfoliation, it promotes skin renewal while simultaneously improving its ability to retain moisture. Although particularly effective for dry and mature skin, AHA Complex offers benefits for a variety of skin types. With regular use, it can visibly refine the skin's appearance and contribute to a more youthful look. It is important to always ensure adequate sun protection, as the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight due to the application of AHAs.
