Hydroxy acids are just that... acids that work to shed, smooth, firm & brighten
acne skin in Chico, CA.
These gentle acids are derived from food sources and are categorized as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs).
The primary AHAs used in acne skin care are: glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid & mandelic acid. Salicylic acid is a BHA found in the majority of over-the-counter acne products. Although these gentle acids have a similar overall function, each is suited for a specific skin & acne type. This is why glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, works wonders for some acne sufferers, but irritates or does nothing for others. It also explains why customization of your acne products is so important.
