The Wonders of Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) in Skincare

Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) is a group of natural acids derived from fruits, milk, and sugar. AHAs are popular in skincare products due to their ability to exfoliate and improve the texture and tone of the skin. In this article, we will explore the benefits and uses of AHA in skincare, and how it is used in the Adamo AHA Foaming Cleanser.

What does AHA do in Skincare?

AHAs, or alpha hydroxy acids, are a group of naturally occurring acids commonly used in skincare products. They work by gently exfoliating the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture and radiance. In addition, AHAs can also stimulate collagen production, which can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Types of AHAs:

Significant AHA types include

Glycolic Acid
Lactic Acid
Mandelic Acid
Citric Acid

AHA Benefits & Uses in Skincare:

AHAs have multiple benefits for the skin, including improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is because AHAs work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be sloughed off and revealing the fresh, new skin beneath. As a result, skin becomes smoother and more radiant. Additionally, AHAs can help to brighten the skin and even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation. it also helps unclog pores and prevents breakouts by removing dead skin cells and impurities from the surface of the skin.

AHA is commonly found in many different types of skincare products, including cleansers, toners, serums, and moisturizers. These products are designed to exfoliate and improve the texture and tone of the skin.

Adamo AHA BHA Foaming Cleanser:

The Adamo AHA Foaming Cleanser is a popular product that contains a combination of AHA(Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid) and BHA(Salicylic Acid)(Beta Hydroxy Acid).
