FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about AHA Scrub
What is a facial peel?
A cosmetic facial peel based on AHAs gently exfoliates the skin's surface without leaving any granules. It helps to gradually remove dead skin cells for a clearer complexion and smoother texture. This is a cosmetic effect, not a medical treatment.
What is the difference between a facial scrub and a facial exfoliant?
A facial scrub with AHAs works chemically, without particles. A scrub works mechanically, with granules. AHAs can offer more even exfoliation, provided you maintain the recommended frequency, hydration, and sun protection. The goal: comfort and consistency.
How often should I exfoliate my face with AHAs?
For facial exfoliation with AHAs, start with once a week , in the evening. If all goes well, increase to twice a week . Skin prefers consistency to excess. If you experience any discomfort, reduce the frequency or stop altogether.
Facial peel before and after: when do you see results?
" Before and after" facial peeling research often makes overly optimistic promises. In cosmetics, we generally observe a gradual improvement: softer skin, a clearer complexion, and a more even texture, usually after a few uses and a consistent routine. The result depends on the frequency and your individual tolerance.
Who is an AHA facial scrub for?
An AHA facial scrub is suitable if your skin looks dull, uneven, or feels rough to the touch. It can also help to visually smooth the surface. If you have sensitive skin, opt for low frequency and a simple routine.
Can you use multiple facial exfoliants?
It's best to avoid it. Using multiple facial exfoliants increases the risk of irritation and discomfort. A single, well-dosed exfoliation, spaced out evenly, generally gives a cleaner result: more stable skin, an easier routine, and a more visually even complexion.
Facial peeling prices: why do prices vary so much?
The price of a facial peel varies because there are two types: cosmetic peels (done at home) and peels performed by a professional . The price therefore depends on the type of peel, the formula, and the level of service.
Is it normal to experience a tingling sensation with an AHA facial scrub?
A slight tingling sensation may occur with an AHA facial exfoliant , especially at first. However, burning, severe redness, or persistent discomfort are not desirable. Stop, rinse, moisturize, and reduce the frequency of use. If this persists, seek medical advice.
How to apply an AHA exfoliating lotion?
Apply the exfoliating lotion in the evening to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area and irritated areas. Leave it on as directed, then apply a simple moisturizer. Avoid using other exfoliants on the same evening.
Can an exfoliating facial lotion replace a toner?
Yes, on the evenings you use it. An exfoliating facial lotion can replace your usual toner. On other evenings, choose a more neutral moisturizer. This alternation is often more comfortable and consistent than daily exfoliation.
What is fruit acid peeling?
A fruit acid peel generally refers to AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids). They exfoliate the surface to help improve radiance and visually smooth skin texture. This is a cosmetic benefit. If you have a medical condition, consult a professional.
Can an AHA peel be used all year round?
Yes, if you're consistent. An AHA peel can be used year-round with reasonable frequency and daily sun protection. AHAs can increase sun sensitivity: SPF in the morning is essential. Without SPF, you increase the risk of discomfort and uneven skin tone.
Is an AHA peel suitable for sensitive skin?
An AHA peel can be suitable if you start slowly: perform a local test for 24–48 hours, once a week, and maintain a short routine around that time. If your skin reddens significantly, burns, or feels tight for an extended period, stop using it. Sensitive skin responds better to gradual application than to high intensity.
What results can be expected from an AHA exfoliant?
An AHA exfoliant helps smooth texture, improve radiance, and visually even out skin tone. Results are gradual and vary depending on individual tolerance and consistency. These are cosmetic effects, not a promise to treat wrinkles or blemishes.
What should you avoid combining with an exfoliating AHA?
Avoid combining an exfoliating AHA on the same evening with other exfoliants (BHAs, abrasive scrubs) and overly aggressive routines if you experience a reaction. Opt for simple hydration after application. If you use other active ingredients, alternate them on different evenings.
This AHA exfoliating concentrate is a cosmetic product: it aims to improve the appearance and comfort of the skin (skin texture, radiance, feel, more stable routine). It is not a substitute for medical advice in case of significant or persistent irritation, or a marked reaction.
