AHA, BHA & PHA – Acids for the face

Yellow Rose AHA, BHA, and PHA products exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and helping the skin surface feel softer, smoother, and more refined. Here you'll find professionally developed facial acids for uneven skin texture, dullness, visible pores, blemish marks, and discoloration.

The collection includes an active AHA gel, a milder moisturizing PHA lotion, and a salicylic acid-based lotion for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin. This makes it easier to choose the right acid based on your skin type, skin tolerance, and the results you want to achieve.

What do AHA, BHA, and PHA do for the skin?

AHA, BHA, and PHA exfoliate the skin in different ways. The right product can help the skin look clearer and more radiant, while reducing the appearance of unevenness, clogged pores, and rough skin texture.

  • AHA: is especially suitable for dull skin, uneven skin texture, fine lines, marks, and discoloration.
  • BHA: is particularly relevant for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin with shine or clogged pores.
  • PHA: provides a milder exfoliation and is suitable when the skin needs renewal but cannot tolerate stronger acids.

Which facial acid should I choose?

  • Choose Fruit Acids AHA Gel when your primary goal is a more even skin texture, more radiance, and less prominent fine lines or discoloration.
  • Choose Clarifying & Brightening PHA Lotion if you are a beginner, have more sensitive skin, or want a milder exfoliation with extra hydration.
  • Choose Salicylic Purifying Lotion if your skin tends to be oily, shiny, blemish-prone, or congested.

How to introduce acids into your skincare routine

  1. Apply the acid product to clean, dry skin.
  2. Start with one to two evenings per week and gradually increase use according to your skin's tolerance.
  3. Do not use multiple exfoliating acids in the same routine when starting.
  4. Follow with a moisturizing serum or face cream.
  5. Always use sunscreen with SPF 50 during the day.

Always follow the usage instructions on the selected product. Fruit Acids AHA Gel should be used as a treatment and rinsed off according to the product's instructions, while the PHA and salicylic acid lotions are used as exfoliating lotions.

Important considerations when using AHA, BHA, or PHA

  • Do not apply acids to irritated, damaged, or newly shaved skin.
  • Avoid the area around the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.
  • Introduce only one new active acid product at a time.
  • Do not combine multiple strong exfoliating products in the same evening routine.
  • Reduce use if your skin becomes unusually red, tight, or irritated.
  • Use sunscreen every day throughout the entire period of use.

Frequently asked questions about AHA, BHA, and PHA

What is AHA acid?

AHA stands for Alpha Hydroxy Acid and includes glycolic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid, among others. These acids exfoliate the skin surface and contribute to a smoother skin texture and more radiance.

Which acid is suitable for sensitive skin?

PHA is usually the mildest option in the collection. Clarifying & Brightening Lotion combines 5% PHA with niacinamide, prebiotics, and moisturizing ingredients.

Which acid is suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin?

Salicylic Purifying & Brightening Lotion is specifically developed for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin with shine, clogged pores, and excess sebum.

Can I use AHA and BHA together?

It is possible for skin that is already accustomed to acids, but the products should be introduced separately. For home use, it is often better to use them on different evenings to reduce the risk of over-exfoliation.

Why is sunscreen important after acid peeling?

Exfoliating acids renew the skin surface and can make the skin more sensitive to UV exposure. Therefore, sunscreen should be used every morning during the period of use.
