AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid

Powerful Surface Exfoliation: the Glycolic acid at 7% is highly effective inpeeling from the top layer of the skin. This makes it ideal for treating whiteheads on the surface, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and rough texture.

Brightness and Uniformity: The combination of AHA and Niacinamide is a powerful duo for brightening skin tone and reducing the appearance of dark spots and redness.

Minimalism: Like BHA Liquid, the formula is clean without unnecessary fragrances, focusing on the effectiveness of the active ingredients.

Hydration: Panthenol and Sodium Hyaluronate are present to try to keep the skin hydrated, but, being a potent chemical exfoliant, it should be complemented with a good moisturizer.

Cleaning: After cleansing your face and using a non-exfoliating toner (if you use one), it dries your face thoroughly.

Applies: Dispense the liquid into a cotton pad or in your hands.

It Passes Gently: Gently wipe the pad or apply the liquid all over your face, avoiding the sensitive eye and lip areas.

Wait: Expect approximately 20 to 30 minutes before applying the next step (serum or moisturizer). Just like BHA, this time allows the AHA to work at the ideal pH without being neutralized.

Hydrates: Continue using moisturizing and soothing products (such as a serum and a cream) to minimize irritation.

Crucial Brand Notes on Usage:

• Frequency: If your skin isn't used to exfoliants, you should start using it only once a week. Next, gradually increase the frequency to 2 to 3 times per week. Do not use daily.
  
• Sun Protection: absolutely mandatory that you use a sunscreen(SPF 30 or higher) the following morning, as AHA significantly increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun.
  
• Do not combine: Avoid using this product in the same routine as other strong exfoliants (such as BHAs, other AHAs, Retinols/Vitamin A, or concentrated Vitamin C) to prevent excessive irritation.
