Hydroxy Acids are very common active ingredients in clinical skin peels and skin care products to help reduce discoloration, improve acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines and give the skin a healthy, radiant glow. There are two basic types: Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids. A simple comparison between AHA’s and BHA’s is simply that BHA’s are primarily oil soluble – works on the oil phases of the skin that cause acne and congestion, also ideal for thickened skins. Alpha Hydroxy acids (AHA’s) are hydrophilic (water soluble) used to facilitate an increase in cell turn over, and for their antioxidant and hydrating properties. AHA’s & BHA’s are used in clinical peels to produce a controlled wound that will result in skin renewal with the reduction or disappearance of sun damage, pigmentation, acne lesions, fine lines and wrinkles.
